Which means I have a new filling system to add to my list of options when you order a pen.
Holds about 2ml of ink.
Update: 3ml of ink. I sealed with shellac and put a different length tube. Much better now. Also made a new section for it.

Cool. Will you be making these to sell?
Definitely. 🙂
Looks great!
Never had a bulb filler, but it sounds like a good, simple, and effective system…
Do you clean it same way as a piston filler (filling and flushing out water several times)?
Pretty much, yes. I suck up water and shake it real good, wrapped in paper towel, then flush, then fill and shake, then flush, repeat until clean.
Thanks for clarifying….
How would you compare/rate bulb filler versus the converter filler?
The converter is quicker and easier, but doesn’t hold near as much. A properly done up bulb filler can hold 2-3ml of ink. Plus it has a cool factor that a converter just can’t touch. 🙂
Got it!….
Thanks!

This is my favorite filling system. My next pen will have this system. Can’t wait!
That looks like same material as Yard o Led Astoria. Fwiw, I think more pens should me made using bulb filler mechanism.
I’ll have to go check out the Astoria. 🙂
I have an Astoria so that is what made me mention it.
Cheers!
I checked it out – very pretty pen – and sure enough the same acrylic. 🙂
