LamyRefill Converter (Z24)

I have three Lamy Fountain Pens (2 AL-Stars and 1 Safari) which I bought both on Amazon and in a local office supply store. This converter fits all of them. It's great to be able to use whatever ink I like, and it's much cheaper than buying ink cartridges. The converter works extremely well, and I've never had any problems with mine after having them for almost a year. You just twist the red part to push the plunger down, then dip it in the ink and twist it back up. It's very simple and easy, and it's very fast as well. The only downside is that it does not hold as much ink as a real cartridge, since about half the length is taken up by the plunger/twist apparatus. My solution is to fill all three pens every night, so that if one runs out I always have a backup, but I also sometimes carry my ink bottle in my backpack. It's so simple and easy to refill, I can even refill it in class if I have to.I recommend this for anyone with a Lamy fountain pen. It will save you a lot of money in the long run, and having two means you can use different colors or have them in multiple pens.Sidenote: I use Noodler's black ink with mine, which you can buy here on Amazon. It works very well with Lamy pens, and its formula makes it permanent on paper but easy to wash off your hands if you spill.

Showed up in a small envelop, was in good shape and works well. The seals work great in my Lamby Safari pen, doesn't spill ink at all.If you need instructions for how to use, there are numerous YouTube videos on this product. It's very easy to use.

This is excellent for my Lamy pen. It really does the job quickly when refilling. It's easy and cost-effective, and I love it!

Good official product. Exactly what I needed.

Works well. I just wish the top wasn't red because I have a clear Lami Safari and I don't like the look of a bright red converter showing through

I'm a fountain pen virgin. Or, I was until I recently ordered the LAMY Al-Star pen, this refill converter, and Sailor Kiwa-Guro Pigmented Black Ink.I've spent the past several years buying packs of uni-ball black pens because the ink's thickness was just right. And I never had to shake them in order to make them work. They're solid pens. But as I thought about the number of pens I went through - and their cost - I thought it might make more sense to go the fountain pen route. So I hit up the old Google and - after perusing a few fountain pen-aficionado sites - finally decided on this converter to go with my pen.I've only filled this one time but I can already tell that it's going to be incredibly easy to use and clean in the future. It presses into my fountain pen easily and the red knob twists to pull the ink into it. It seems as though it's solidly made and it fits the LAMY Al-Star pen perfectly. I've been using this with my pen several days and I've had no issues at all with it. The ink is always ready when I begin to write. And from what I've read and seen, it's a cinch to clean.I can't recommend this converter enough for the beginning fountain pen aficionado. Get it. You won't be sorry.

I bought this converter thinking it would be much more practical and economical than having to constantly buy ink cartridge refills. I've never owned a fountain pen before, so after buying my Lamy Safari Charcoal Extra Fine Point Fountain Pen - L17EF, and reading many many reviews advocating the purchase of the converter, I went ahead and bought a couple (along with Noodler's Black Waterproof Fountain Pen Ink - Bulletproof). I looked on YouTube for videos on instructions regarding how to fill the converters, and I found a few different methods. After watching the different videos, I decided on a method that I felt was the best. I'll just say that it was pretty darn simple! I'm happy to report that everything is working as advertised, and I couldn't be happier. The converter works as advertised, and it even appears to hold more ink than a replacement cartridge (or the same amount at the very least).I'm pretty happy with the decision to go with the converter. Some other bonuses with going with a converter is the variety of inks you have at your disposal and the long term economical practicality (cheaper in the long run, or even short run if you write a lot). Practicality, economy, variety, what's not to love?

So far so good! Easy to use and fits perfectly.
