Lamy Safari Converter Z24

I recently decided to take the next step with my Lamy Safari fountain pen and venture into the world of bottled inks, so to get started, I bought a Lamy Z24 converter. If you own a Lamy Safari, Vista, AL-Star, Joy, or Nexx fountain pen, then the Z24 is the recommended converter that you will need if you want to use bottled inks with your pen. (However, if you don't want to buy a converter, you can also refill empty ink cartridges with a syringe. I haven't tried this method yet.) This post is not going to be a review of the Z24 converter, but more of an introduction to using it and getting started with bottled inks.Overall, I am happy with my first experience using the Lamy Z24 converter with my Lamy Safari fountain pen. Once I become a bit more comfortable with the process (and don't need to be taking photos of every step!), I think that it should take me only a few minutes to flush out my pen and load it up with a new ink colour.The main disadvantage to using the converter is that the converter has a much smaller ink capacity than the Lamy cartridges do. This is why some users prefer to refill their old ink cartridges with a syringe rather than using the converter. I may try this method in the future, but ink capacity is not something that I'm really concerned about at this point, so for now I am happy with the converter. If you are interested in that method, Brian Goulet has made a video on it.Other than that, I would definitely recommend a Lamy pen and a converter if you're looking to get started using bottled fountain pen inks. It really is a very easy and pain-free process and there's nothing to be intimidated about.

Bought for my Lamy Al-Star.Only started using a fountain pen a week ago, so this is my first time using the convertor.In truth I had no idea how to use it, but the open end into my pot on ink and drew it up THEN put it into my pen. Didn't realise there were two little bumps which had to align with the pen itself.Despite me doing it all wrong it worked and I can write with it, so I guess the instructions aren't that necessary.I've seen some reviews stating they don't believe they have received the official product, mine appears to be a legit Lamy item so I'm happy with that.Does exactly what it's meant to so 5/5

I like to use the same ink in multiple pens so the converter allows me to use my favourite ink in different makes, without spending lots of money on difference styles, saving money. The quality is good and it Fits well and does not leak. Easy to install and easliy filled.

Works perfectly

This purchase is a no-brainer for Lamy Safaris. Highly recommended.

German companies/designers have a reputation of over engineering things, this piston converter very much reinforces that stereotype. And I love it.The piston head has two O rings, the threading is tapped on the piston so it doesn't get gunked up, the overall fit and finish is a lot nicer than most converters I've used and I don't know what the little dots on the side are for but I am sure someone found they make it more efficient.

Well worth buying to use for ink bottles. There are some good tutorials on YouTube how to use this for a first timer too. Or you can use refills but this is more fun

Works great with my Lamy pen. I've been using it for a couple of years now and zero issues

Desde que compré mi primera pluma Lamy, me he vuelto fan de esta marca.Como todo lo que hacen, la calidad de este deposito es muy buena, y después de utilizarlos durante bastante tiempo, están exactamente igual que el día que los compré (tengo dos plumas Lamy, cada una con su depósito).Cuando bajas el émbolo, no deja tinta detrás, y queda todo limpio.El único problema que he encontrado es que, al llenar la pluma de tinta, hay que buscar el punto justo al sumergir el plumín en el depósito, ya que sino se llena de burbujas en lugar de tinta.Por lo demás genial... e incluso te ahorras un dineral en recambios, ya que sólo has de comprar una botella de tinta, que dura una eternidad.

Wenn man Patronen einige Male befüllt hat (Converter in den Füller stecken, dann Feder in die Tinte halten und "Rad" hochdrehen), gehts auch relativ leicht. An sich auch sehr simpel. Kleckert auch nicht und hat bisher schon viele viele Füllungen geschafft. Ich hatte mich immer gefragt wofür man 10er Packs kaufen kann, ich benötige sie im Nachhinein auch erstmal nicht. Man kann die patrone nicht befüllt mitnehmen, daher ist es unsinnig mehrere Converter zu besitzen (außer einem Möglichem Ersatzprodukt).Blöd ist nur, das öfter Mal Luft mit rein geht und dadurch der Converter nicht ganz befüllt ist. Dies hängt m.M. jedoch nicht mit explizit diesem Produkt zusammen. Man kann sie schlecht wieder raus drücken und dafür nur das kleine Stück Tinte wieder rein, nur mit großem Friemeln, da befülle ich jedoch lieber die ganze Patrone neu! Sternabzug also nicht für dieses Produkt, sondern Converter insgesamt.Ich würde sie letztendlich wieder kaufen und auch weiter Empfehlen!

Does what is promised 👍🏻

Works perfectly with my Lamy Safari fountain pen.

Works well on my safari
