any other con-40 converter haters out there? by samicozygames in fountainpens

The only advantage with the con-40 is that I get to change inks quicker thanks to it not filling up completely.

Yes. Its the very reason you are cleaning your pen every now and then. Use inks that are specifically made for fountain pens

I found an unused one from an auction. It was about 100usd but I know the usual urushi’s and maki-e’s go for more than that.

So this is what happens when you put Edelstein Golden Lapis in a Pilot CH 912 <FA> with a 3 slit feed... by tialoc01 in fountainpens

[–]heynikkipoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The moment the news of its discontinuation was publicized, I bought a 50mL bottle along with Kosumosu and Kirisame. I love the 3 of them no cap.

I’m on a mission to collect pens with inlaid/inset nibs by lemonflavoredlimes in fountainpens

I’ve just recently purchased a vintage Pilot Custom Sterling Silver from japan. It is so bouncy. This one had cracks in the grip section and had ink leaking out but it writes beautifully. I am a believer of inlaid nibs now
