Non-refillable? You have to be kidding!

One piece of lead. Use it up and then the pencil is useless. Make a wiser choice and find a pencil that is refillable.

Nescaf, you have lost and continue to lose customers and money with the terrible decision to forego the canister in lieu of the inconvenient single serve, more expensive packaging.  Someone explain to them the mathematics of "no purchase" = LESS PROFIT! (Not "more profit" for higher cost for single serve packaging that no one wants)

BRING BACK the CANISTER!

This is an outstanding product, worthy of 5 stars ... except I have docked 3 stars because a refill can cost more than a new pen.  Uh, what's with that, Pentel?

When Pentel started offering the less expensive plastic version of its EnerGel pen, I stopped trying to do the right thing ... I gave in and started buying the plastic single-use (i.e., not refillable) pens.  There are countless more serious problems in the world, but can't we find a way to stop throwing away plastic pens after just one use, when metal-body pens and their refills already exist?  If the consumer merely breaks even, there would be at least some tangible incentive to use refills.

Update:  Maybe I was slow figuring it out, but the plastic-bodied version *is* refillable ... but the refills still seem to cost more than a new pen would.

I thought this product would have made my life easier. BIG MISTAKE. The colours are weak. The transfer? Horrible. Reusable? Not nearly! Was EXTREMELY disappointed. Please do NOT waste your money!

Do NOT buy this annoying Pitcher. Seven cups?? Hmmm... Annoying to refill and not so sure it's actually filtering water.

I ordered this ink refill in anticipation of needing more ink once the ink I was using ran out. Of course, I ended up not needing to open and use this ink until nearly two weeks after the return period expired, so returning this item is no longer an option. But I want it to be known that this item is NOT a legitimate product as described and is NOT a Mont Blanc ink refill. The package and the item have Mont Blanc labels on them, but the ink refill is NOT an actual Mont Blanc refill. I use Mont Blanc refills all the time and even have another refill ordered from a different seller that was placed after this one (for blue ink, which I've already used in a different pen), which I have since used and can attest to its legitimacy. This product, however, has a casing that is too wide in diameter and made it unusable in my pen, and I suspect even damaged the inside of my pen trying to get it in and then remove it once I realized it was wrong. The packaging is similar to, but not exactly as shown in the description, and different from actual Mont Blanc packaging. The product has additional labels on it, including a website listed for www.montblancrefills.com which is NOT a legitimate or working website. I strongly encourage removal of this product from the store on the grounds that it is falsely advertising a legitimate product and selling an illegitimate knockoff WHICH CAN DAMAGE YOUR PEN.

Just got this in the mail. So clearly I have not had to refill.  Will let you know how that goes when I finally do.

What I can tell you for now is that only my black cartridge was out. So I popped in ONLY the black cartridge & it worked with the OEM cartridges.  The black printed the same quality as the OEM quality.  The reason I specifically titled the review "from ink727" is that these are the only refillable cartridges I have discovered that does not have to be used as a set. So I can replace the OEM cartridges only as needed.

I contacted both double2house & ink727 to inquire prior to purchasing & read all reviews on their other refillable ink supplies...double2house's refillable cartridges have to be used as a unit (all 6 together). The refillable cartridges will not work with OEM cartridges. I know I never run out of ink in all 6 cartridges at once so I wanted to be able to replace as needed.  The only thing that was a bummer is that the needle-tip'ed bottles you see in pix are not what is going to be received by ink727...which was a bummer because I really did not want to have to use a syringe if I did not have to. Here is what you will actually get:

plus the extra bottle of black ink (at the price listed with double2house)

However, they still get 5 stars.  ink727 offers OUTSTANDING customer service.  They respond to inquiries instantly. My order was shipped out the same day as I ordered, in fact in a matter of just a few hours.  I highly recommend going this route with your refillable ink purchase.

The title is misleading -- possibly on purpose.  At ~$15 for 15 refills that's 1 dollar a day for a tiny piece of cardboard that doesn't even fold open rigidly.  I can buy a moving box for a dollar that when cut up would make like... 100 refills.  Ludicrous.

I'd give a 0 stars if I could. In Amazon, I searched for FINE POINT Pilot Refills of this type.  The listing I got back included a match for this product and it was shown as being FINE POINT refills.  So I clicked it and was taken to the product page.  On that page, I clicked the button to add it to my cart and I bought it. I'd purchased the refills for future use and didn't actually need one until today. Much to my dismay, I saw that they were VERY FINE POINT refills, and I'm past the 30 day return policy.  I went back to Amazon and could reproduce the whole process.  And, if I look at my order page, it lists the item as "Pilot G2, Dr. Grip Gel/Ltd, ExecuGel G6, Q7 Rollerball Gel Ink Pen Refills, 0.7mm, FINE POINT, Black Ink, Pack of 6" (My CAPS).  But if I click on that and am taken to the product page, it switches to the VERY FINE POINT selection.  So...BUYER BEWARE - Pay attention to the selections!!!

These are NOT like the previous design!  I sent these back, but the seller refuded to pay for the postage, and what is disappointing, as I have had great success w/ Amazon retunds and appeals, they also stuck w/ the seller, CT Power Tools.  The product came in 4 little plastic bags, which contained 2 each, so I really didn't know the quality.  The seller replied to my request for return and 'full refund' (at that time the product was $12.00!, but know has gone up to $14.50!) with the statement:  " Why not save us both some grief and contact Vacu Vin on Monday (860) 724-4646. Dena is our sales rep and she can attest to the fact that these are real. Then you won't have to pay return postage for perfectly good product!"
I DID contact 'Dena' who was very nice and 'verified' the purchase, but she asked me why I was calling HER!  The above quote is the reason!
This is the worst customer service I have ever had from a 3rd party seller on Amazon!  I DID pay the postage, which was $2.64, but it was the principle of the matter.  Now they have a bad review as a seller, NOT just for the product.
 I ended up by purchasing 'Wine Saver Vacuum Pump Wine Preserver w/ 6 bottle stoppers, whose design is a great combo of the old ribbed bottom and the new removalable top for cleaning;  the pump is awesome, so much smoother operating and has a larger handle area and the stoppers are perfect!  They are sold by Unigear , shipped w/ Prime and the price was $11.99!  I'm really sorry to have to leave this review, but read the other folks' reviews  and then make your own decision!

Just found out that my 'appeal' was denied.  The Seller took more money from my refund and I ONLY GOT $9.60 instead of $12.00!  There was no mention of any kind of fee that would be subtracted from my refund...I even PAID to send it back!  I am a GREAT Amazon customer, but very disappointed with this incident!

Purchased not ONE, but TWO of these polished turds!!  One, a gift for my bro-in-law and the other for myself.  Neither one of us got past a half dozen fills before they failed miserably.  The o-ring kit they sell might be okay if either the cap or CO2 cartridge sleeve starts to leak, but those are easily replaced from any hardware store. It's the regulator device in the lid that really quits and wastes cartridges the soonest. Luck for growlerwerks it's not wasting 64 Oz of beer or they probably would be bankrupt already! Tried they're email support and they're phone line....both are just as worthless as this polished turd!!

I hate it when a manufacturer takes a giant step backwards.  The "old" sodastream syrups were fine.  These new "waters" syrups are a joke.  Higher priced and you need to use more syrup per bottle.  Plus, this flavor in particular just slams half of the carbonation out as soon as you add it to the water.  Why on earth does SOMEONE not sell generic syrup?????

I guess I should have read the reviews before hand, but I thought it's just a refill how could they screw it up.  Well they did.  I compared the old cartridge with the new and the size and shape were almost exact, but the refill doesn't fit the cap of the pen because of the plastic top end.  Below is an account of what happens:
1)  Tried to install and had a hard time pushing it in, but forced it in anyway.
2)  Put the rest of the pen together, but the point was sticking out and I couldn't retract it.
3)  Tried to disassemble but refill was stuck.  Used pliers and refill comes out but without the plastic end piece.  Uh-oh!
4)  After about 5 mintues of trying different tools, I put the refill back in, used another set of pliers to hold the end and was able to twist off the refill with the plastic end piece.  Whew!
5)  Tried the old cartridge, works just find.
6)  Tried again with refill, still stuck, still sticking out, and still doesn't retract.
7)  Eyeballed the plastic tips and they look similar, but size definitely doesn't look exact.
8)  Tried removing both end pieces to switch them out, but old cartridge has a much longer plastic piece and couldn't get it all the way into the new catridge.
9)  Gave up.  Used new refill, and let it stick out and not retract.  This pen sits in my checkbook anyway, which isn't used too often.
10)  Hopefully ink dries up quickly, I'll put the other refill in then when that is all done, I'll get a new pen.

This product is sold as a "syringe" for repairing cracks in concrete.  Regrettably, it cannot be used for that purpose without additional equipment.  And good luck finding it.

The instructions on the tube tell you to remove the cap and insert the nozzle.  NOZZLE?  There is no nozzle.  And it's not just that it was missing from my package.  There is no place in the form-fitting packaging for a nozzle, so clearly the company decided to no longer include it.  Unfortunately, that leaves you with two conjoined epoxy syringes the openings of which are about a half-inch apart.  Fine if you're mixing the two components in a dish, but it would obviously be impossible to use this to fill cracks.

Next problem:  After inserting the (nonexistent) nozzle, you're supposed to insert the "cartridge" into a "dispensing gun."  Frankly, I don't know of any dispensing gun that would accommodate this twin-tube set-up.

EDIT:  Contacted the company, and they made things right.  Very helpful and genuinely concerned that I had a problem.  Turns out that there was a labeling mix-up.

Nope! I disagree with most others on the utility of these high-priced bowls. You'll need to look elsewhere if you're wanting a robust, versatile bowl for everyday use, because these are WAY too expensive and WAY too porous to be of practical everyday use. I purchased a pair of these bowls and within 3-4 days, they were permanently stained by putting almost anything of 'color' into them, and I don't mean by cooking or microwaving the food in them either! I mean by simply placing ANY colored food material into them at room temperature for an extended period . . . leftover spaghetti and noodles? Permanently stained! Brown or wild rice? Permanently stained! Chile verde? Hamburger Helper? Everything! Stained and terribly unsightly! And again, to be clear, staining them does NOT require heating or microwaving or any other form of abuse. All you have to do is put something of color into these bowls and let them sit (on the countertop or in the fridge), and they will be permanently stained within a hour or two, and I submit that this is thoroughly and completely unacceptable for such a product at this high price point. Never again!

Well, I was bummed about the converter. (See above.)  I like to use a particular ink not found in cartridges (generally, Noodler's in a couple different, great blues I can't find in cartridges---plus, I consider cartridges generally a waste).

So, you know, it'd be nice to receive a reasonably priced fountain pen, simply load it up, and, like, USE it. You know, I'm not asking for that much there. Such pens aren't expensive to manufacture in bulk [this one, as I realized belatedly, in China--but I'm not sure why I oddly felt a twinge of disappointment about that, instead of just assuming that'd be the case. What'd I think? That it'd be made in Spain? Or--because of the "Sweden Flower King" oddness--in Sweden?

SO, I just haven't been up to returning it [YET] or, alternately, figuring out what (additional, better) converter I should buy for this thing,  So, I started filling the excuse for a converter, with a syringe & needle I typically use to refill my ink-jet cartridges. Yeah, somewhat messy with the pen, there (and I write a lot, so, good grief). [*Hey, if someone could tell me, in the comments below, a good converter to buy and put in this particular thing, that may be helpful. Thank you.*]

Oh, other than that, the body of the pen is a nice weight--not heavy but not so light that you think it's going to break or whatnot. Nib seems decent. I've experienced skipping only very rarely (when pen has sufficient ink in it, of course.) (I think a few folks may, with various brands of actually decent pens, might innocently complain about skipping when, actually, some folks may simply not realize how often these things need to be filled if you're really using them---but, yeah, I, too, have had my share of awful, skipping pens (full of ink), too. This one, though isn't skipping for me much at all, but, again, I use bottled ink.)

One last note:  I really don't at *all* like the kitschy "Picasso" [made to look like Pablo's signature] branding on the pen at all.  For these types of pens, I think it's best to leave that stuff off.  No big deal for most people, I guess.

To sum:

Cons
- useless "converter" (from day 1)
- silly, somewhat prominent "Picasso signature" branding on this ("Picasso," "Sweden Flower King") pen from China

Pros
- I may enjoy writing with it enough, if the (cheap) converter were functional [& maybe I'll try sanding down the "Picasso" if I decide to keep it.

I just got these for my printer, and when I put in the cartridges, the indicator showed each cartridge was only about 3/4 full! I had to use them as I was totally out of ink and my project had to be completed this week. I only printed about 100 copies of a color newsletter on the standard setting, and the ink ran out on the cyan and magenta and is nearly out on the yellow! I used to be able to print this number of copies of the newsletter and still have enough ink to last for another six months or so. This is such a poor value! I cannot believe how companies continue to sell less and less of the product to consumers at the same price or at a higher price in a container that looks like they are getting the same amount. I am sick of getting screwed by corporations! I guess I will have to investigate refilling the cartridges myself. Buyer beware.
