I'm wondering if anyone else got a wonky converter (I also got a blue ink cartridge, not black, but that's no big deal). I wasn't expecting any converter, but when I tried to use it my pen leaked like a sieve. I took the converter out and it's like a con-50 but without the agitator -- has anyone else had this experience/know what the converter is?
AndieBExactly, an absolute sieve. I put in another converter, with an agitator, and still had a sieve. I've wasted ink, and made several messes, so I'm fed up. I sent a note to Massdrop Support two days ago, but have not received a reply.
MulberryI found that even after flushing/wiping/q-tipping, I had the ink from the converter coming out of the threads that hold the barrel together (I know it was that ink because it was a different color than the cartridge, which seems to be working [knock wood]). Is there any chance that's the issue? I'm planning to just syringe refill cartridges I think.
AndieBAfter letting cleaned the pen dry and sit a few days, and trying a CON-50 converter again, I'm able to get the pen to work without leaking. I think the converter that came with the pen is not appropriate for the pen.
