Hello dear people of PenExchange!
I recently got back into this wonderful hobby of writing with fountain pens after I had no worked much with fountain pens ever since I finished highschool. However, with this new found interest in writing instruments like that, i also remembered a few things: Namely my first ever fountain pen I owned:
I do not remember the Brand (but it was probably a Lamy) but it had a peculiar filling mechanism. Instead of of a cartridge it had special ink bottles that had a little needle build into the cap of the bottle. To fill the pen you had to push the needle into a small spot at the back end of the pen and that would fill a large barrel that would hold most of the ink. After that was done you could twist the back part of the pen to let ink flow into a smaller compartment on the barrel, that laid just above the grip, which then fed the ink towards the nib.
Unfortunately as I was young (mere 6-7 years old), brutish (or rather just had a lot pressure) and left handed (lots of frustration in the early years) I unfortunately ended up bending the nib out of shape and since then lost it to time. If anybody remembers such a model I would love to hear it. I would love to get one of those pens back into my collection.
Thanks for reading

Based on your description of the unique filling mechanism with the needle in the cap and the twisting system for ink flow,ragdoll hit it sounds like the pen you're referring to might be a Lamy Pico or a model from Lamy's Dialog series, though they aren't exact matches.
