Do You Own Converters For Most Of Your Pens Or Swap Them Between?

[jhaggerty]

I used to trade around converters, but about 3 years ago I made a list and went to a pen show and bought a converter for every pen that would take one (that I didn't already have). Other than a few Kaweco sports, and my latest Sailor - I have a converter everywhere possible.

 

I have yet to be successful with Kaweco sports. And my newest Sailor "21" I think, which is similar to the Pilot Elite, would need a converter the same size as a small cartridge. I know platinum and pilot made them, and I've heard Sailor did also, but can't find a Sailor. I'll be needle filling old carts until I do.

As I don't use converters, I keep the converters in the boxes supplied with the pen just in case I want to sell the pen.

I like to have spare converters for almost every brands This because of it is hard to buy converter only here in Thailand.

I always buy a converter to go with the pen if it needs one. Although if it comes with a cartridge too I'll probably use that first unless there's an ink I particularly want to use or match to the pen, or I've got too much blue or black ink in pens already.

 

Converters are my preferred filling system - so much easier to clean!

I also have a converter for every pen. If I purchase a pen that doesn't come with a converter, I'll buy a converter to go with it. I had bought a Lamy LX and forgot to get a converter for it. I couldn't sleep at night knowing the pen was sitting there without a converter. So when I was at the Vanness store last year at the Arkansas Pen Show, I bought a few Lamy converters. I think I have one spare at the moment...for some reason the converter sitting there without a pen doesn't bother me at all.
