Kaweco converter

[goodbee]

Is there a converter for a Kaweco sport or at least one that would work with this pen?

Kaweco plunger filler converter.

They are sold on the bay, I have no idea if you can get them at a more reasonable price somewhere else.

[goodbee]

Oh yes I have seen those but not with the photo of the Kaweco pen. I think I could still find them.

 

Thank you for the help.

If you can find then somewhere else, please do post it here so everyone knows your source. Glad it was helpful.

Two possibilities here: Slider and Bantam types

the monteverde converter fits which you can get cheaply i think at pendemonium or in europe at missing-pen.de.

With a little dab of silicon grease the plastic Kaweco Sport also makes a wonderful eyedropper pen, by the way. The capacity is really huge for the size of the pen.

It's small, but the Monteverdi mini converter from Swisher Pens works well for me. No connection.

The Bantam from Tryphon does not fit, I got a few from them to put in my Sport pens last month, but it turned out the Bantams were too big around.

 

The Montverde slide converters will fit (I had one of those too), but I could never fill it without getting ink all over my fingers... :shrug:

Hi,

 

I found that the Monteverde leaks and lets in air while filling, but there are other converters. Try the small converter that come with some Think pens. I also suppose that Taccia had the same converter for the small Portuguese pens. These use a small rubber gasket and don't leak.

Amazon sells the Monteverde mentioned above, but as you prolly know, if you return it due to 'your' incorrect selection then it'll cost yah their free shipping. A reviewer says on the Amazon listing it didn't fit their Kaweco.

 

Anyone really have a definite answer?

 

Thanks, new poster here, just for this topic

I think Kaweco user small international cartridges, right? If so, the Pelikan (C499) converter I use on my Inoxcrom (that also uses those cartridges) should work for you

 

ETA: I should note, that I don't own a Kaweco -yet-, so this is just a guess.

Full length converters such as the Pelikan C499 and Schmidt K5 will not work with the Kaweco Sport.

I was thinking about doing this myself when mine gets here (ship faster already...), but I'm not sure I want to carry it in my pocket like that... :blink:

I'm planning on making my own squeezy converter at some point; just a chopped down cartridge, ink sac and a little shellac (still haven't got round to buying the shellac ).

 

I'd love to see Kaweco bring out a reasonably priced piston filling Sport...

I bought Monteverde converters for each of my two Kaweco sports, but I don't really use them. You only get 1/3 to 1/2 fill, at best. I've resigned myself to using pre-filled and/or refilling the short international cartridges. If you invest in a syringe, you'll find that the short cartridges are easy to clean and refill.

[lanewrites]

Thanks for the updated posts, guys. I'm on Amazon now to buy a multi-port USB hub that I rilly, rilly need (LOL) and I don't think I have a hobby syringe at home, so I will pick up some silicone grease and a hobby syringe while there ... I suppose this particular thread will really light up if Kaweco would finally announce a proper converter!

I ordered two monteverde converters for my Kaweco Sport earlier this year.

One wouldn't seal to the pen and leaked like crazy, the second one fit like a dream and still works fine even after a few removals for cleaning. Just luck of the draw I guess.

I like the eyedropper idea as the monteverde hold too little ink for any heavy use.

[RMN]

Perhaps with the same buttonsystem as in the Pilot CON70??

 

I would like that (I would buy a bunch of them, to use in several of my other pens.....)

I just got a monteverde mini converter and it doesn't fit my kaweco sport.

 

It looks just like the cartridges (where it inserts) so I don't know why it wont work for me. Has anyone else gotten one to work?

 

I guess I'll be syringing....
