It’s okay but…

I own several of these converters. The best thing pilot could do for the con-70 is to remove the spring mechanism and button and use the space for ink capacity, fill it with a pipette and be done with it. Turn it into a large refillable cartridge. If I could eye dropper my pilot falcons…I would.

Pump! Pump it up!

Pretty fun converter to use with its button on the back of the converter. I tend to put my ink in an ink vial or a different container since I don't want to put my pen my clean ink if I might need to press the button a couple times. However overall great capacity and fun to use.

Best converter. I use explorers and Kakuno's so I can use con-70cs

Huge, easy fill. Yay!

I have a few other converters that are barely bigger than a cartridge, or that are a struggle to actually get full and have to be refilled often because of it. This is my first converter with this kind of fill mechanism but I thought it was much easier and more effective than the piston converters I have. After sticking it in the inkwell and pressing the button 2-3 times there's hardly an air bubble left in the reservoir so I dont feel like i'm being cheated out of full capacity. I love being able to doodle and waste ink to my heart's content knowing it's so quick and clean to load it right back up. Recommended if you like to draw or just enjoy moving ink from pot to nib to paper.

Large capacity, Lasted me 2 weeks!

Paired this with my Pilot Kakuno (F) and works wonderfully. I've been syringe filling it so I don't really know if ink still gets into the button mechanism but overall, it holds up a good amount of ink! I've been using this on my Kakuno (F) for my planners and journals and one full fill lasted me 2 weeks before having to fill up again. I don't have any problems with cleaning so far. I use a bulb syringe to get most of the ink out and a dull syringe if I need to get into tougher spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter is a cartridge-shaped reservoir that allows you to use bottled fountain pen ink, when a cartridge would otherwise be your only option. Fountain pens that have this option are usually referred to as a cartridge/converter pen, or C/C for short.

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
