Help! Vanishing Point problem
shane_in_atx | Jun 15 2006
I just bought a new Namiki/Pilot Vanishing point, and I'm having a problem loading it with ink. I want to try it out using the included ink cartridge, but the converter for using bottle ink is wedged in so tight that I can't get it out. I just spent about 15 minutes rocking it back and forth to get it out of its seat, and it's still won't budge. It seems like they superglued it at the factory. 9 Comments

I'm able to unscrew the barrel and remove the nib/converter assembly, but it doesn't appear that I'll be able to use this pen with an ink cartridge. I have a (previous-generation) Vanishing Point, so I can relate to your general reluctance to use a lot of force with the fragile-seeming innards of the pen. Here are my two suggestions:
My VP has doesn't have a piston converter, and I've never removed the converter I do use, so I can't speak to your specific problem. » POSTED IN:
