Like in the previous drop, I did not receive a converter. Included was an empty ink cartridge, that can be filled with bottled ink . It seems that is what is being called a "converter". Less than ideal.

MezzI, too, did not receive a converter. I received an empty cartridge that has no back, so if I put ink in it, it would slosh out immediately. I'm none too happy that there is no converter in this package... If the empty cartridge is supposed to be the "converter", then how does one use it if it is simply a hollow tube with no back?
@elimelendez could you please clarify this for us?

BlackflowersThe empty shell you find in most cartridge-using fountain pens is there to give you an idea what type of cartridge to use with the pen. It is certainly NOT a converter.

TherocThat is what I figured..... Would really like to know about the converter situation, since it is listed as coming with this pen.

BlackflowersYes, me too. I joined the latest drop, and still waiting for mine. Hope says Massdrop won't repeat the same mistake again. Murphy says Yeah Right!

Mezz @Mezz @Blackflowers, and anyone else that did not receive a converter when they should have:
We're trying to get in touch with our vendor regarding the missing converters, but it might be a little bit before they get back to us. I suspect the missing converter might have something to do with the same issue mentioned in the LOOM drop discussion about Faber-Castell production: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/faber-castell-loom/talk/371598
Either way we'll make sure you receive the converters what were supposed to be included. Expect another update from myself or @elimelendez as soon as we hear back from the vendor. Thanks for your patience!
