Guanleming Calligraphy Pen Cap Issues

[Captaintita]

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum for this but I'll give it a go cause this problem is really bugging me out. I have the really nice Guanleming Calligraphy Pen

I own two of these bad boys and the suit my needs for a cheep fountain pen for doing quick life drawing sketches. However the pen caps have the nasty habit of coming off in my art bag, pen case, and various other drawing kits. The ink gets all dried out if I don't notice it fast enough and it's becoming a bit of a bother for me. If anyone knows a fix for this or an alternative pen body I could attach my nibs too (that's the real reason why I bought these the really awesome nibs) I'd much appreciate it!

a piece of tape wrapped around the bottom of the section might help.

I actually did try that! It didn't last as a fix though even when the tape kept getting replaced, the pen still managed to slide out.

Have you tried black electrical tape?

then a drop of super glue on the section. if you use your pen frequently then a ring must have appeared on the section. this is the place where the cap grips the section. try putting 1 drop of super glue thrice along this ring, at equal interval

 

p.s - let it dry, and make sure the drop is small.

This is an old model which is made more than 10 years ago. Some Guanleming 193 calligraphy pens have this problem. You can put the pen in a longer small plastic bag and bend back the opening part of the bag to let the pen stay in the bag tightly. That might help.
