Hello all, I just got my pen today and I was very excited to use it. I filled it up with some Diamine Sargasso Sea and it wrote beautifully right out of the box. After an hour or so, I noticed that some ink was leaking through the threads towards the blind cap. Has this happened to anyone else? Did I just get a dud or am I missing something here? Thanks for any help!

scramjamYeah mine is leaking through those threads too, do you know how to remove it and clean/apply grease between those threads

OwntrolfThere's been some discussion about this issue on the subreddit. One thing we can also try is to open up the end cap a little when we're filling the ink reservoir and then attach the nib. Additionally, we can grease up the shaft as well.
