Oh darn, now this is tragic ... on the hunt again for more Pelikan blue-black.

Next on my journey will be my bottle of Hero 232, Blue-Black.
 
I have emptied 50 ml bottles of Levenger Cobalt Blue, Levenger Raven Black, Levenger Pomegranate, two 62.5 ml bottles of Pelikan 4001 Blue Black. I think I may have a couple of bottles getting close as well.

I'm on bottle #3 of the 4001 Blue Black. I did like Raven Black, but don't need another black. Pomegranate was discontinued. I loved that ink. (actually have 1-2 ml left in a vial) I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Levenger bottles.

That's a lot of bottles you have finished! About how much writing on average do you do a day?
 
Depends. Between 1998 and 2013 it was Cobalt Blue, one 4001 Blue Black and Raven Black. The others since then. I keep about 10 pens inked at any given time.

Finished off a bottle of Private Reserve Black Cherry, and a 2 oz bottle of Sheaffer's #32 Jet Black. Almost finished my Noodler's BBB with the Ouchette artwork. I'm rationing my Noodler's 5 O'Clock shadow. Dreading the day I finally use it up as it has been my favorite so far.

Now half as wise
It took a while to find this thread! I rarely use the same color for more than one or two refills in a row, but finally managed to actually empty a bottle. This has been on of my favorites over the years. Probably will eventually be replaced.

I have a bottle of Noodler's Liberty's Elysium that has about one more full to go, but I have given away several samples, and spilled some as well! Good news is that I don't have a cat!

Pretty Pink Fairy Princess.
I've used up 2.5 bottles of Pelikan 4001 Blue Black in 12+ years. I'll probably never finish another of anything; now have 15+ bottles (different inks)
 
I've emptied a few bottles over the years (been using fountain pens on and off since about 1965). Latest was a bottle of Skrip blue-black, not really finished but it got junk in the bottom when it got really low, and it's replacement is about 3/4 gone.

With all the ink I've bought (25 or 30 Noodler's, etc) I still use Skrip Blue-black the most.

Aurora has been my go to black for a while. Still have some vintage Skrip that belonged to my father, and barely used bottle of Iroshizuku.

The best Superchrome bottle is an empty Superchrome bottle!

And yes, I used some of it. (No fancy pens were damaged in the testing)
 
I have emptied a bottle of Lamy Blue, a Waterman Serenity Blue and a Waterman Mysterious Blue.
I have dented a Pelikan Black 30ml to the point that I bought a 60ish ml and just topped it off.

I intend to put some Private Reserve Avocado in an empty Waterman bottle forthwith because the round bottle shape of the PR does not fit my glass pen tray.
