Can you use a refillable piston converter with this pen?

Yes. The part number is F3705. Many specialty places carry it. http://www.coloradopen.com/product/sheaffer-convertor-for-bottled-ink/sheaffer-fountain-pen-refills

No, you do not have to buy an ink converter. The ink filling system is built in to the pen.

no--this pen has its own built-in piston filling system. really easy to use--you just dip the tip in a bottle of good ink (Pelikan ink recommended), turn the barrel section fully in one direction to empty/flush and in the other direction to suck in/fill.

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

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

I belive the corrector is not refillable. The Convincer (and I have two of them) has replacement cartridges you can purchase.

No suggestion for waterproof ink, but, come to think of it, I'd like to know! Any fountain pen with a clean nib _can_ be a dip pen. Lamy has it's own model of "converter" so you definitely don't need cartridges. The converters use the same screw-piston arrangement as most other brands use. Yes, you can refill by hand.

If you want to use your own ink you'll need a converter, otherwise you're stuck using the one time non refillable ink cartridges by Lamy. I believe the converter is called the Z24.

That seems to be the only way to do it. It come with a refillable cartridge. Be sure to get good ink. I was using Private Reserve and it was beginning to clog my pens because of the amount of dye material. Herbst and Chesterfield are very good. I write exclusively in brown.

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.

Yes. As seen in the picture, this pen comes with a converter. It also takes standard international cartridges. As I believe I said in my review, this is an excellent fountain pen. I like fine nibs, and this one has a very nice nib. This was one of the best finds I have ever had while trolling for fountain pens on Amazon.

It comes with a converter for bottled ink. However, my pen would not maintain prime and I finally got frustrated with it and discarded it. I was going to send it back to the company for a refund but this particular company does not pay for return postage. I felt it was pretty stupid to pay $6.00 to return a $14.00 pen. I've read positive reviews but my experience was not good.

The converter has to purchased separately. Please note, there are better fountain pens than Waterman in my opinion.

Mine came with a converter. I soaked, cleaned the pen throughly before I filled it with Noodlers' Bulletproof Black. It wrote without skipping but the flow wasn't great and nib itself is scratchy. I tried Noodlers' Eel Blue which has a lubricant in it and got much better results. If you use a cartridge, squeeze it a bit to start the ink flow and/or run the nib under a stream of running water and wick with a paper towel.My best advice is to use an ink (Pilot or Noodlers Eel ink) that's free flowing and has a lubricant, if you really like this pen.

If you use a converter for your fountain pen is it safe to carry around with you in your purse?

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.

Do you need a converter? I bought one only to find one came with the pen. If you need one, buy the one that Amazon sells.
