Can I use a converter in this pen? Which one?

It should accept the Pilot con-20 or con-50. Any of their bladder converters should work. If not, the Metropolitan accepts the same nib and works with just about every Pilot converter they make. I bought this to swap the nib

It is a good sharp find pen you can use it more than twice as long as you know to buy replaceable ink cartridges for it for animators are people with great detail is a good working

Love it. First fountain pen in a long run that does not bleed and spill ink all over the place, and is always ready to write, no dried up ink to worry about. Simply LOVE IT.

I think the squeeze convertor from Pilot would be ok, since I use a Pilot cart in mine, and the two are the same size. Good luck. This is a wonderful pen I have given to many people, and they all love it and come back for more, even non-FP people.

The converter nib is not included with the pen. You may find that separately on amazon. Thanks.

I only use the converter. The company should be able to tell you which ink cartridge to use.

Hello Jennifer, I have bought two of these pens at different times and both came with a converter so you could fill from a bottle. Hope that helps

The converter is much easier to use than the disposable refills,. You need to buy a bottle of ink if you get this pen.. The converter sucks up the ink then you put it in the pen and your ready to go! Whenever you run out of ink, just suck up some more with the converter and continue to write on.... You'll never want to write with a regular pen again once you use this one!

This pen comes stock with a cartridge. There is a small cardboard collar that you remove, which then allows the cartridge to seat. The converter is about five dollars. If you go that route, do not forget to buy ink (Mont Blanci is great, and you can refil the spiffy, very stable bottle when it is empty).

I just tried it and it does. You should be able to "snap" the converter into the pen and twist... it's a bit shaky but doable.

The pen comes with a nib and converter installed. However, you will have to buy ink and fill the converter before you can write. I have Sheaffer Skrip and Private Reserve ink and love both.

The only way to know for sure is to try and use one. Sometimes the diameter of the opening is either too large or too small.I bought a couple of "Parker Pen" Ink converters on Amazon, only to discover that the opening was a little too small. Buyer beware.

Check out the photos on the Amazon product page. Although the photos show a converter, this fits into the nib unit in exactly the same way as a cartridge. Simply, but gently, push the smallest end of the cartridge into the opening behind the threaded portion of the nib unit so that the nipple inside the unit pierces the membrane at the tip of the cartridge. You may have to wait a moment or two for the ink to get through - a couple of quick but gentle downward shakes usually does the trick (but don't bang the nib down on the paper to start the inkflow!), or you can even give the cartridge a slight squeeze if necessary. Sounds much harder than it actually is! Just check the photos for how the pen looks disassembled and have a play around. Easy.

No. You'll need to pick one up. I bought one convertor for drawing my own ink, but I wish I'd have snagged 2 or 3 just in case.Pen works great. I have the extra fine nib and the feel while writing is similar to a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, which I love (used to do drafting).Great pen for the money.

I am using the Faber-Castell Fountain Pen Converter 148785 and it is working great.

Yes. I use a fountain pen convertor. This allows me to use the ink well bottle. The ink last and extemely long time. I purchased my ink well bottle 4 years ago.

You know, funny enough, I bought this converter for a specific pen - but once I got it, I can't remember for the life of me which pen it was for, and it doesn't fit any that I own! I was going to buy a few different pens around that time, and may have bought it for one of those, but as of now it's just waiting for a future purchase to fit into. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, but if you'd like measurements on it, or pictures or anything else, I'd be happy to help. Be warned. If you do order it, it takes a little bit of time to get it. No quick turn around by any means.

Chloe, I'm using this converter in the Parker Urban. Most of these are standard in size and shape. I've seen the Vector but I'm not familiar with it. It looks like it uses cartridges that are about 3" long and they are about the same length as the converter. I buy from Goulet Pens all the time and they are a Parker dealer with GREAT customer service. Try their question page or call them on the number shown. http://www.gouletpens.com/articles.asp?ID=83 - I just emailed Brian, the owner with your question and I'll let you know what he says, or try the link.

I use the converter included in the pen, never had to use the cartrdges. I think that they are for EMERGENCY or SAFARI like events.

No as far as I know this pen only uses cartridges ,maybe you can contact Schrade directly and ask them about a converter for bottled ink.
