Full Length Cartridges For Baoer 388?

[trickster]

I've received a package of 10 Baoer 338s (all for the princely sum of AU $37.50, postage paid). I'm quite happy with them -- they all write reasonably smoothly except for one pen with a nib alignment problem.

 

So now I'm looking for a full-length cartridge that'll fit in them because (surprisingly!) the long Parker Sonnet cartridges are too wide. What can I use? The ink doesn't matter because I'll just syringe it out and refill with Noodler's HOD.

It looks like your pen takes short international cartridges or a converter, but *might* take a long international cartridge. There's really no easy way to tell without trying one. I think the long Waterman cartridges are of this type; the Parker cartridges certainly are not. Monteverde also makes a long cartridge of this type, as does Pelikan.

Thanks! I'll try a long Waterman cartridge first and go on from there.

 

The Baoers do come with their own converters but the capacity seems very low to me. I use a 10ml Nalgene bottle and syringe to refill the full-length cartridge in my Sonnet, and I hope to be able to do something similar with the Baoers.

Yep, the Waterman long cartridges do work with the Baoer 388s.

 

I am content.

Glad to hear it. :-)
