Screw Type Converters - Kaigelu 316 And Others?


dcwaites

Recommended Posts

Those of you who have Kaigelu 316 FPs may have worn out the screw thread at the bottom of the converter, thus risking the odd leak.

 

YCPENS to the rescue. He now has in stock replacement converters with the screw thread.

I bought a pair, greased up the thread of one of the new ones, swapped the ink load over via a syringe, and now have a safe, securely screwed in converter.

 

These converters may fit other pens that support an international-style screw in converter.

Thanks for posting this. Interestingly the copy for the eBay listing says "The meaning of Kaigelu is "kangaroo," an Australian brand but made in Shanghaim China. Hmmm, an Australian brand???

The Kaigelu 316 I just purchased did not come with a screw converter.  However, I don't know if they stopped adding the threads inside the section.  I am a bit disapointed because I wanted to compare the screw converter with the others I have. The converter also rattles. Last, the "Ink Smoke" acrylic had virtually no swirl, so its basically a white semi translucent pen.  Not what I wanted. 

 

It writes well if a bit wet.  The EF is more of a F.

      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
