So, now that I've finished #inking my hands for tonight with both Hongdian and Diamine #ink, I have a question for the #fountainpenlovers on Mastodon / the Fediverse...

I have a pair of #hongdian M2's, and I noticed the other night that there is an issue with the cartridge converter... Basically, when the piston is extended it hits the top of the feed tube, and pushes the body of the converter up. This causes there to be no vacuum for the first turn of the shaft when you are trying to fill the converter.

Now, I know the "easy" answer is to not lower the piston that far -- but that leaves a significant gap, which will keep a significant amount of space in the converter (I'd guess around 0.1ml).

Has anyone found a fix for this? Or has anyone found a better fitting converter for the M2?
