Colorverse Mini (5ml) Fountain Pen Ink Reviews
Overpriced ink sample in a tiny Colorverse bottle. Only buy this product if you are unable to get an ink sample of whichever Colorverse color you would want in a sample.

I ordered two colors in the Colorverse Mini series-- Saturn V and Anita. I love both of them and they are performing well. The Saturn V is a nice dark blue with a touch of teal, but the teal really isn't noticeable to my not-perfect eyes. I love pinks, but it's hard to find a pink ink that suits me and is easy to read; Anita does and is. I would buy a larger size Anita if it was available.
I had to rate these low on functionality, however, as the bottle necks are too small to fill your pen directly from them. They include a little squeeze thing to draw up the ink, but you need something else like the Ink Miser or an ink sample vial to put it in. If you have that, it's not a problem, but ink bottles really shouldn't require another container. These little bottles are SUPER CUTE, however, so overall I'd rate them high if I could. The cost is okay for 5ml (sort of a double-sample size) in a cool little bottle.
I wish all these colors were available in larger bottles and for the "Joy/Ordinary" line's price. Some colors like Saturn V are very pricey in the bigger bottles, and I can't even find Anita in a larger bottle, which is disappointing too. 5ml isn't nearly enough if you want to actually use an ink regularly. (Hello, Colorverse??) These are a good way to try new colors, and again, are super-cool little bottles. I'm glad Pen Chalet is carrying them.

Recently ordered the Monteverde Giant Sequoia in turquoise, and wanted a great complement to fill it. This was everything I hoped.

Love these mini bottles! The price per volume is a bit steep, but the bottle itself is too cute to pass. The inks are amazing too.

Bottle size and cost are perfect for me. Inclusion of mini-bulb syringe for filling cartridge converters a really nice touch. Color is intriguing.
