i use fountain pens but i preferentially use extra-fine nibs for everything, so i haven't managed to work far enough down into a FWP bottle to need to worry about it yet, LOL - ThreadSky

the bottles are soooo cute and charming, but i suspect i will sooner or later be decanting a FWP ink or another into a glass bottle with a wider mouth

The bottles are GORGEOUS. If they were more usable, I'd definitely keep them, even if just for decoration. I'm sorry FWP but I need something more practical ;_;

fwiw twsbi sells diamond 50 bottles that have lovely angled reservoirs inside to help with filling (https://www.twsbi.com/collections/ink-bottles/products/twsbi-diamond-50-ink-bottles) but uline also sells bulk glass jars with wide mouths if you're ok with receiving nearly 50 in a case LOL (https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-20558P/Jars/Clear-Wide-Mouth-Glass-Jars-2-oz-Plastic-Cap)

1 ounce is equivalent to about 28-29mL so 2oz bottles will fit any FWP inks except those sold in the large 85mL bottles (which have slightly wider mouths than the other FWP bottles anyway iirc)

I see some people using a small ink glass to refill the inks, but since I'm too lazy to buy, use and maintain extra equipment, I was just using the bottle's own lid and pouring ink on it. 2/10 do not recommend, it is very messy lol
