I was using my #Kaweko Sport #FountainPen, and noticed that it was making an odd rattling sound. I opened it up to investigate and found that the converter had somehow come detached. Fortunately, the converter doesn't hold a ton of ink, so it wasn't as big a mess to clean up as I would've expected. Besides, are you really a fountain pen user if you don't have ink all over your fingers? I have to say, though, I'm impressed at the capacity of the feed. It had been rattling for some time without any noticeable loss of ink.

I bought that stupid converter even though my best pen friend told me not to. I had the exact same thing happen to me during a client meeting at my law office and I looked like a total dork.

I have since moved on to using a blunt-tip syringe to refill old ink cartridges and my brass sport (as well as my hands) thanks me for it.

I just accidentally dropped my Jinhao 10 #FountainPen and bent the nib slightly (at least it wasn't an expensive pen, right?).

I did my best to bend it back into shape by hand and oddly enough, I kind of like the way it writes now better than before.

Not that knowledgable about that ink/line. I have noted that stuff like walnut ink, tea ink, sumi ink, very much can have a distinct flavour. A fair amount of ball point ink I've noticed certainly has a flavour. But some of the potential fountain pen inks, I can see basically not having anything you'd note.

I'll have to look up that ink.
