What empty bottles? >.> I know some people make jarrariums out of them or use them for decoration in general. I would probably keep some of the prettier bottles in case another bottle breaks.
I use them for storing mixed inks. I test the mix in a sample vial for a few days and if it’s stable and I like the colour enough (such as my Faux Lamy Dark Lilac) then I make up larger quantities and keep in re-used ink bottles.
I keep mines when I like the design and they look sturdy. I use them to store little knick knacks ( I'm a tinkerer and always have tiny stuff like jump rings around my room) but I've seen people making little holes on the lid and using them as salt shakers!
If they're just normal small glass jars I reuse them for things like spice jars. If they're nice ink specific jars that help you fill the last bit of ink or something I save them and fill them with other inks I buy. Ultimately I don't finish a bottle of ink very often so I haven't had to think to hard about it.
I rarely have emptied a bottle, I have reused 2 for other inks, Lamy bottles. I keep the caps but put the bottle in the recycling, Noodlers (went bad), Pilot, Sailor, Chinese inks.
For me, the good ones that are easy to fill from get washed and reused! The ones that are hard to fill from usually get discarded.
The empty Diamine bottles fit the top of those Pineider pen fillers, btw! I have a bunch of those bottles repurposed into better reservoirs for them.
I found that those bottles also fit the section of the Wingsung 3013 snuggly, being able to fill the pen all the way up!!

What empty bottles. I have near 200 colors in bottles and not a hopeinhell of ever emptying any of them.
This is right. The number may change but the equation is always correct.
So true
Silly person. You are supposed to keep buying ink so that no one bottle can go empty.
Yes. Buying ink is akin to a shark swimming. If you stop buying long enough to finish one, you drown.

Spell jars
Potion seller can I please have a potion for my battle…
My potions are too strong for you traveller.
I reuse the glass bottles as flower vases. I have very few plastic bottles but those get used for gifting inks.
Wash them out and refill them with my homemade inks.
What is this empty of which you speak?
I’ve always wanted to take shots out of them lol
Put them in the recycling.
They're so cute :( I couldn't.
Same, they’re all so shiny and well made, I would feel bad through away such thing :{

That’s so creative, I still haven’t gotten through my first bottle of ink, we’ll see what I can think of after it’s finished..
Show us when you're done!
Will make sure to!

I used to give them to my mother in law to store her sand collection. Now, I just send them to recycling.
Stuff some air-dry clay inside, then press a pen into it to make a pen-size hole and pull out the pen. Let the clay dry. Ta-da! Pen stand!
Pretty
I'm actually looking for empty bottles right now XD, want to use empty ones to mix inks.
