Conid Regular Bulkfiller - Big Red

Hi Ajoffe,

Glad reading you are happy with your Bulkfiller!

As for the continuous in k saturation you've experienced on your feed , this could be triggered by the fact the feed is not deep enough seated in its screw in housing.

The feed should axially back-up against the bottom of the nib/feed screw-in housing.

Please try pushing the feed deeper in the housing till it axially backs-up.

Francis

 

Thanks for the information Francis! I will try pushing the feed in deeper as soon as I get a chance later today.

Just to follow up, I removed the nib and feed and reseated them. I ensured that the feed is as deeply seated as possible, but I am still experiencing continuous feed saturation with ink. The pen still writes great, though. I just need to make sure I don't touch the feed if I don't want ink all over myself.

Francis , as you know - and as Werner knows - I am waiting for a Conid made of Tibaldi Impero celluloid . And knowing there is an Impero celluloid stock in Wilrijk....

I hope , one day .

Just to follow up, this problem has been solved. When I pulled the feed from the housing, I noticed a small chip at the base of the feed. I alerted Werner at Conid and he immediately sent me a replacement feed (and I received it in less than a week!). After installing the new feed and loading the pen with a slightly drier writing ink than I had previously used (Parker Quink rather than Iroshizuku), the pen is writing better than ever. Conid has demonstrated exemplary customer service and I am really enjoying using this pen.

      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
