Guanleming Calligraphy Pen Cap Issues

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum for this but I'll give it a go cause this problem is really bugging me out. I have the really nice Guanleming Calligraphy Pen

I own two of these bad boys and the suit my needs for a cheep fountain pen for doing quick life drawing sketches. However the pen caps have the nasty habit of coming off in my art bag, pen case, and various other drawing kits. The ink gets all dried out if I don't notice it fast enough and it's becoming a bit of a bother for me. If anyone knows a fix for this or an alternative pen body I could attach my nibs too (that's the real reason why I bought these the really awesome nibs) I'd much appreciate it!

I actually did try that! It didn't last as a fix though even when the tape kept getting replaced, the pen still managed to slide out.

then a drop of super glue on the section. if you use your pen frequently then a ring must have appeared on the section. this is the place where the cap grips the section. try putting 1 drop of super glue thrice along this ring, at equal interval

 

p.s - let it dry, and make sure the drop is small.

This is an old model which is made more than 10 years ago. Some Guanleming 193 calligraphy pens have this problem. You can put the pen in a longer small plastic bag and bend back the opening part of the bag to let the pen stay in the bag tightly. That might help.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
