I recently got myself a lamy aion, assuming it would come with a converter (it didn't) so I (stupidly) bought a converter (z24), not realising that the aion only takes a z26. Does anyone know if it is possible to simply file off the plastic bits on the z24, and make it work with my aion?

Hello everyone, I've recently bought the LAMY Safari fountain pen (fine nib) with the LAMY Z24 converter. I really enjoy and like the pen, however, I've noticed a problem. When my converter is full of ink, everything seems to be working fine (the ink flow is perfect), however, when it's not full the piston stops the ink flow because of the pressure. In other words, unless I slightly push the piston down, the ink won't flow. Am I supposed to push the piston everytime or is it not properly working?

I bought a Lamy Joy recently, as a desk letter pen. It is a lovely pen, really just a design change from the Safari, Al Star, Vista and all those. But for some reason the converter always has a great deal of little bubbles all throughout it. It writes fine and after a little ink has been used and a few days all the bubbles are gone and it really is not a bother but I am afraid of two things; One that it may leak because something us wrong, and two that I am losing a lot of possible ink fill because of all the "inky froth". It is not a real functional bother but it is a slight concern. Anyone else have this issue? I have another Z24 in my Safari and it works just as it should. Only difference is in my Joy I am using Noodler's Bad Blue Heron (A very wonderful blue), and in my Safari I am using Noodler's Bulletproof Black. I could try to switch inks between the converters or change converters in the Joy to see if there is an intrinsic variable. Wanted to see if this is a common issue and if so we could put an answer out there in black and white for all. Good Luck!
