I have a Pilot VP with a broad nib (18k). Great writer and I love it except for one thing:
When the ink - whether in a Pilot Cartridge or the CON-40 - drops to about 1/2 full, there is no flow/hard starts (which do not resolve after a few strokes) if the pen has been stored nib up. If then placed nib slightly down for a few minutes, the flow is back to normal. By stored, I mean overnight in a pen cup or in my shirt pocket for an hour or so.
FYI - the ink - whether in cartridges or via converter - is and has always been Kon Peki.
Has anyone else run into this or have any ideas (other than not storing the pen nib up) ?
TIA!
