I have a new Nemosine demonstrater pen with which I am very happy. It has something in the converter that I have never seen. There seems to be a tiny glass or metal ball in the ink chamber of the converter that moves up and down depending on how the pen is held. I believe that the purpose to keep the ink from being "trapped" in one or the other "end" of the converter. I hope I have expressed that correctly. I don't know exactly how to express it. I have only one other demenistrater, Pilot Custom Heritage 92, and it does not seem to have the little ball in it. I can not tell on my other pens with converters. Have you noticed this? C. S.

Charles, I've seen various converters with something inside to break the surface tension on the ink. The Pilot CON-50 has what looks like a rivet. The Pilot CON-40 has 4 little steel balls. One no-name standard international converter has a plastic ball in it. In some cartridges, installing it punches out a piece which then does basically the same thing.

 

Meanwhile, which nib and color did you get on the Nemosine? (Am considering getting one myself.)

      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
