How To Fix Poor Ink Flow In Refilled Pilot Hi tech Pen

  • Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
  • When the pen is used until it totally runs dry, there is an air bubble in the nib. After refilling the pen with your favorite method, you'll find that the ink flow can't keep up with your writing because of it. By removing the air bubble from the nib, capillary action is restored.
    Worse case scenario, if the pen really cannot write anymore, convert it into a fountain pen.

    Your fix also works perfectly with non-refillable Pilot G-2 gel pens that have plenty of ink but just won't write.
    Thanks, Kenneth!

    Exactly this didn't work for me but got an idea.... So i took out the top part and did the opposite... I blew the air inwards through the nib several times and cleaned it nicely and then placed it in... Then slightly pulled the air with the help of syringe through the nib again and voila it worked..... 🤘🏻

    • @leewmlee
      @leewmlee  8 месяцев назад

      Fountain pen inks like Pelican 4001, Parker Quink. But the results are not always consistent. I found that it is best to refill it before it runs out of ink. The writing from the refilled pen will not be as saturated as original ink. Refilled Pilot V/Varsity pens give more consistent results.

    • @leewmlee
      @leewmlee  3 года назад

      if it leaks between the black plastic and the metal body, u can try putting a little drop of super glue which will soak between the join and seal it.
      if it leaks near the nib area, just wipe it with tissue and store pen upright.
      worse case no choice but to get a new cartridge.
