New 2016 Released Pilot Fountain Pen Ink Converter CON-40

This converter has been a great purchase for it perfectly fit, not just my Pilot Metropolitan, but also my vintage Birdie.. the latter was more significant for I had been looking for a converter for it for the longest time (wow.. way too many fors!).As for the ink capacity, I have no complaints.. it has lasted me a good 3 weeks now which is par for the course for any fountain. As for the filling system, since I use a syringe (with pretty much any converter) this went up to the brim too 😅.. before I evacuated the excess air - been doing this sort of surgery for years and it works without a hitch! Only rarely do I need to charge the ✒️.Fixing this also resulted in a full fledged cleaning of all my writing apparatus 😄Happy overall 😁

Good packing.Best quality

It is very good and smaller

Bought this for my metropolitan animal design because the included squeeze converter is opaque.There's a trick to filling it all the way. Just search for it on YouTube and you'll find it. Boils down to these 5 steps:1. Fill about half way.2. Flip to have the nib point up.3. Twist to fill the rest with air, and shake a little bit to have the ink settle away from the nib if it hasn't already.4. Twist to push the air out until you see a drop of ink ready to come out of the hole in the feed on the side opposite to the nib.5. Flip to point the nib down and fill all the way.

product is not bad.. But price is too high. Size is small. Material quality is good. But not meet the expectations.

I got this to replace the rubber converter that came pre-installed with my Pilot metropolitan (crocodile) pen. It fits perfectly and works seamlessly.Only complain is that the ink capacity is a bit low.However, it is not going to affect the writing.

It only fills to 40% of the available capacity.

Perfect fit for my Metropolitan Crocodile. I could easily fill upto 2/3 of the converter with ink on my second attempt.Made in Japan
