Ink Refillable Ballpoints

I did that and have no leakage between the barrel and the section.
This is seeping through between the section and the black plastic
insert. I figured I'd just work a little beeswax in there at the
ink-chamber end of the interface between the insert and the section.


That part can be pulled out gently and coated with wax.

That would be simple enough. Thanks for the tip!

Noodler's Black is particularly good with these as it was made to
strongly repel polymers - and this gives it a lubricating effect
in the kaweco ink ball for a super smooth yet extremely permanent
line. (shamelessly, but truthfully touting..... ;-)

This is a combination that writes very nicely. OTOH ink flow seems
a little inconsistent in my pens with plastic feeds, but works very
well in pens with hard rubber feeds.

If a plastic feed is ever heated or loses its acid etching done at
the factory, it can become a hard starter. I won't go into how acid
etching is done by an individual though, as it could potentially be
dangerous. However, that is how a plastic feed can work well with
any ink...a well etched feed. Pilot feeds seem to be the best
plastic feeds, with extremely thorough etching when viewed under a
microscope.

That's quite interesting to hear about. Liquids tend to bead up
on plastic surfaces rather than wetting them, so this makes sense.

Lyra of Germany makes a very inexpensive rollerball (under $6.00) that takes
international cartridges or a standard converter. Go to

I ran into a pen that is an ink refillable rollerball. The wife thought
this a great thing, and she'd love one. Does anyone remember who makes the
thing? Has anyone actually used one?

At least this page says that Pelikan Roller uses fountain pen ink
cartridges:

Pelikans uses international ink cartridges. Maybe correponding converter
can be used, too.
