Anyone had problems with Wality’s?

[BruceW]

I recently bought two Wality 69L pens, one a piston-filler and one an eye dropper. Overall, they seem like quite a pen for less than $15.

 

But… Both pens seem to slowly seep ink into the threads. I already re-set the nib and feed to be tight enough, and the ink does not seem to be seeping from there. It seems to happen directly at the threads, and only in trace amounts.

 

So anyone else have this problem with the Wality 69L?

What ink are you using? I had a similar problem, ink was bubbling up out of the feed when not in use so I switched to denser Noodlers ink.

Well... all I use is Noodler's ink. And the ink seems to be coming from the threads, not from the nib/feed area. At least, I can detect no seepage there or into the inner cap.

Then that is different from the problems I had. On mine there was definitely ink up in the cap and it was gravitating down to the threads. I only got the ink on my hands when I first uncapped it for the days use. After wiping off the ink I didn't have any more ink on the threads until the next days uncapping.
