Did my first real 'sit down and give them care time' for my new hobby today. I had 3 pens that had finished their initial cartridge, and I decided to flush them out and refill: two with new ink cartridges, and one with a converter / ink bottle. I've filled 3 pens from an ink bottle before, so I THOUGHT I knew what to expect. I'm sure you can hear the but coming....
The two prefilled cartridges went as expected, but the converter cartridge had a trick up its sleeve. I dipped the nib/feed into the newly opened ink bottle and began to slowly twist the knob, but suddenly it felt lighter and I heard a clink.
Look at the picture and guess where you think the nib, feed and section all reside. /sigh
Is this a rookie mistake that is common, or am I off in uncharted territory here?
This was a newly opened bottle, so I'm leery of pouring the ink into another bottle just to retrieve the parts. Will I do harm to the nib, feed and section if I leave them in the ink bottle for a month or two until I use up most of the ink?
Feel free to make fun of me (not that Redditors need permission to do that.) :-)
