The con-20 does not form a good seal no matter how hard I push it in. It sits too loosely in the section. The con-50 worked fine though. I had it in the pen for two weeks and no leaks or problems--other than the pen's scratchy nib, which had nothing to do with the converter.

 

I have found that the CON-20 is quite variable in tightness. One will fit snug, the next far too loose. If you are getting a CON-20 - using pen, may be worth buying an extra CON-20 with it, or get a CON-50 or 70 depending on size of the pen.

 

 

Hey, GoldenGirl - I see you have been to Vulcan (Alberta)! Great pic.

Part of it is due to the variances in the diameter of the connector on individual Pilot pens. As a result, I usually unbox a new converter for each pen and I don't swap converters around different pens. Once one starts swapping converters around is when problems begin in my experience. My relatives are all using these pens with the Con-20 converter, and they haven't had any issues. We have the same problem with other pens as well that use the International cartridges. Once one uses a converter in one pen, it stretches the seal on the converter permanently and it doesn't fit in other pens.

Your review convinced me to order one. Not that it was a hard sell, since I prefer ergo grips, demonstrators, and eyedroppers! This is the only pen I've seen (so far) that has all three.Anyway, it's in the mail. Fingers crossed it isn't too scratchy...

I don't know how it went with you, i ordered two, one clear and a black one. Both are very, verye smooth. I bet someone is pressing too much on the paper with those so fine nibs! Only problems, blobs of ink from the clean pen when used as eyedropper.

I am in love with this nib... Nice review, and the quality of those writing sample scans is really high, excellent job.

As for this pen, I put the nib and feed in an Ivory Prera, and it writes wonderfully!

Eagerly awaiting mine to arrive and like others, hoping for a smooth writing experience.

 

How is everyone finding they are on the supplied cart, and what inks are working besides noodles eel series (difficult to get in the UK)
