Hi I am new to the forum. I love using fountain pens. Currently I am using a Pierre Cardin 'Elite Club'. Though I have not found it on internet search, I love using it. I may need some help refilling it. Moreover, I love to watch pens and buy them if I have money.
welcome!
this is the socond time i see a pierre cardin owner here in the FPN... they must be popular in asia (the other member was from vietnam)
you say you need help refilling, what kind of filling system does it have?, what kind of ink do you have?
Thanks for your concern. The pen had three ink cartridges in the box and a refill piston with it. The problem I am now dealing with is there is no tight corner at the bottom where the cartridge would remain steady (it goes up and down). Also when I try to hold that too long ink gets spilling out from the nib (a peculiar problem I've faced ever in my life). Though I used two Parkers with this type of piston by they did have a tight grip for the piston and ink never did spill out of the pen.
if i understood correctly, the converter fits loosely (i'm not familiar with the Pierre Cardin system).
does the pen take international carts... if that is the case, and the cartridges that came with it fit fine, than getting another converter might work (they sell very inexpensively out there). if that's not an option for you, and again, the cartridges that came with it fit nicely, you might wanna refill your carts via syringe and you can use your favorite ink!!!
i hope this helps
warm regards,
