JustFluxzThe converter can be filled with ink from a bottle, so you aren't limited to inks that are available in compatible cartridges.

Richard-in-Marylandah alright, are all inks compatible or is there like a thickness of some sort that is required. also is there a method at which I should clean it out before adding new ink? I am new to the whole "high-end pens" thing lol.

JustFluxzAny ink for fountain pens should work fine. There are other kinds of ink, for dip pens or other instruments, that may clog a fountain pen or flow poorly, but there is a huge variety of inks made specifically for fountain pens.
For cleaning a pen, I've never used anything but tap water, over a stainless steel sink to avoid ink stains on other surfaces. Youtube has lots of helpful videos about cleaning, maintaining, filling, disassembling, and writing with fountain pens.

Richard-in-MarylandOne caveat is that Higgins brand ink (found at art stores like Michaels, AC Moore, Hobby Lobby and some higher-end art stores and boutiques) says on the bottle "For Fountain Pens" but it is not for these fountain pens. It's made for dip pens and it will clog these pens.
I'd visit Vanness1938.com, GouletPens.com, AndersonPens.com or others as they all sell ink samples in small vials so you can test out inks beforehand. If you want cartridges instead of bottles, you can get cartridges as well from those vendors (among others).
