Finally!!!
I made a simple squeeze converter for my Kawecos about 10 years ago http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/241399-Squeeze-sac-filler-mod-for-cartridges
I still think that's the best way Doug. That converter looks awfully small ( the same size as a cart ). The best thing about your mod is you can adjust the length of the sac to hold more ink. But it's nice to have a plug and play converter if one doesn't want to make one.

I just ordered three. You know... just in case my number of Kawecos suddenly multiply.
How many Kawecos did you order?
I only have one. But I want another one, and my dad expressed interest in mine, so I figure I'll eventually get him one to be nice.
Did you order them internationally, Jason?

Yup. Shipping wasn't bad at all... only like 3.50 Euros.
I may get a few, then.
I've always like the bulb/cartridge idea, but I don't want to pay $20 to get everything I need to make them, as I only need a couple of these small converters. I also never repair lever fillers and don't see myself doing it in the future.

I'm assuming these could also work in other standard cartridge pens that are too small for your typical large converter.
I wouldn't buy one just to take the chance, but if you're already getting one for a Kaweco? Why not try it out?

I have a Kaweco Sport and a Giuliani Mazzuoli Officina Mini Micrometer that's too small for a normal converter. It looks like the KaweConverter tapers towards it's end, which is good because the Mazzuoli Micrometer's barrel is so small in diameter that an international short cartridge only just fits inside.

I have a Waterman pocket pen that only takes the mini cartridges. Once I get the nib fixed (if I can get it fixed) I may try to see if one of these bad boys fits. If not, I'll just use Waterman cartridges, because hey... Waterman ink's pretty good as is.
Thank you for posting.
I got an email from them saying that they've given me 5% off of my next purchase. They also shipped it the same day I ordered.
Great customer service from Fontoplumo.

Excellent news!!
I had a chuckle at the book at the 43sec mark as I have the same one.

Just arrived today, and works perfectly.
It also fit into a Waterman of mine that doesn't take a Waterman converter, so it's even doubly helpful. I may wind up having to order some more in the near future.

Mine should be here any day now then.

I ordered a couple of these... it was about $9 for both and shipping. The guy that runs that site seemed pretty nice in his emails. I ordered about a week ago so they should be showing up soon.
