Very nice pen, I got it as part of the last mystery box, but what I'm stuck wondering is, what is the empty cartridge for? I opened the pen and there were two in there, and I can't figure out why I need an empty one. Is it for shipping? Other companies don't do that, or is there some other purpose I'm missing due to my own ignorance?

ZeiredI think it’s just a spacer for when you’re using short international cartridges, like the one it comes with.

ZeiredIt's not actually an extra cartridge but rather a hollow one. You can use it as a spacer with a short cartridge or you can use it to help clean the pen. Just pop it in like a cartridge and since it's hollow you can shoot water through it and out the nib for example using a bulb syringe. You can flush the pen in just a few seconds that way! (You can of course clean the pen with a bulb syringe without using the hollow cartridge, but I've found that adding it helps the process go even faster and reduces the chances of water/ink dribbling or accidentally squirting out in some random direction.)
Edit: stupid auto-correct.
