For my fountain pen lovin' LJ friends

How do we feel about Levenger's cartridges? My sweet little Monteverdes, the old standbys, have been without ink for the last six months, and I want to stock up. I was looking at Levenger's Standard 6-Pack of cartridges.

Anyone with any opinions or advice on other places to get quality cartridges for less money?

Never tried them myself, but I have coworkers who like them, and the Cobalt Blue is popular on the Fountain Pen Network.

I have pought pens from various people there, gotten into a travelling journal community, hung out with folks there.... it's a den of iniquity and fun, and a social community. I'm Velma there.

My boss gets a Levenger box in the mail at least once a week.
He's also a pen nut.

The ink is nice enough, and the price for the 6-pack is decent, so I say go for it.

Someday I will quit writing with nib pens and get a set of usable and not-terribly-expensive-to-refill fountain pens. I have a beautiful Skaagen one, but it's too damn heavy to write with for long amounts of time, and I can never find cartridges for it.
