Conid Regular Bulkfiller - Big Red

June 29, 2016

Hi Ajoffe,
Glad reading you are happy with your Bulkfiller!
As for the continuous in k saturation you've experienced on your feed , this could be triggered by the fact the feed is not deep enough seated in its screw in housing.
The feed should axially back-up against the bottom of the nib/feed screw-in housing.
Please try pushing the feed deeper in the housing till it axially backs-up.
Francis

Thanks for the information Francis! I will try pushing the feed in deeper as soon as I get a chance later today.

Just to follow up, I removed the nib and feed and reseated them. I ensured that the feed is as deeply seated as possible, but I am still experiencing continuous feed saturation with ink. The pen still writes great, though. I just need to make sure I don't touch the feed if I don't want ink all over myself.

Francis , as you know - and as Werner knows - I am waiting for a Conid made of Tibaldi Impero celluloid . And knowing there is an Impero celluloid stock in Wilrijk....

I hope , one day .

I am still experiencing continuous feed saturation with ink... I just need to make sure I don't touch the feed if I don't want ink all over myself.

Just to follow up, this problem has been solved. When I pulled the feed from the housing, I noticed a small chip at the base of the feed. I alerted Werner at Conid and he immediately sent me a replacement feed (and I received it in less than a week!). After installing the new feed and loading the pen with a slightly drier writing ink than I had previously used (Parker Quink rather than Iroshizuku), the pen is writing better than ever. Conid has demonstrated exemplary customer service and I am really enjoying using this pen.
