I just purchased a Cross Green Mable Lacquer and 23k Medium Nib Fountain Pen. It didn't come with a converter, do you know which converter it uses?

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.

One of two ways. You can use an ink cartridge which are sold at office supply stores or you can insert the converter that was shipped with the pen. It either has a twist or slide on it that activates a plunger within the converter. Place the entire nib in a bottle of fountain pen ink and draw the ink into the converter by either twisting the top of the converter to drive the plunger up and down or sliding it up and down. Do this several times to fill the converter then push it down to expel some of the ink and pull it back so you have an air gap at the top of the converter. I usually leave about 1/4 of the converter as an air gap.

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.

The converter is not included with the pen; you have to buy it separately but I found one here on Amazon for $5 total (product+shipping).

Yes, you can. The Parker converter is universal to almost all Parker fountain pens.

Let me know how it turns out!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.

This pen uses standard international size cartridges so the "Monteverde Ink Converter, Clear" should work fine. http://www.amazon.com/Monteverde-Ink-Converter-Clear-31076/dp/B004EDYT06

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.

As I remember, the pen comes with a blue-ink cartridge in it. You buy a converter and more cartridges (in the ink color of your choice) separately. May I say also that the advertised "fine" point is really more like medium. If there is an "extra fine" version, I would recommend that. In general, I consider this pen a good buy for a moderately priced fountain pen.

To clarify, I did not receive the CON-50 converter that was in the description at the time with any of my pens. I am able to use bottled ink and cartridges but the ink doesn't come out as smoothly but it's still a really good pen.

You can use either. It requires proprietary Lamy cartridges or converters. It comes with one or two cartridges. If you have your own bottled ink, a converter has to be purchased separately. It can handle either of the two current converters that Lamy makes.

Go to jetpens.com. They have the converters (there are two i believe.... A plastic and metal one). Either is fine. You can buy them off amazon if they are cheaper here. Sorry( too lazy to look it up for ya) =p

You need this to refill a Lamy fountain pen from a bottle. This is not the converter you need for your pen. From what I can tell reading the description of the pen you have, it comes with a converter - so you should be set to go. Use the converter instead of the ink cartridge that might be already in your pen (that is, take the cartridge out, and put in the converter). Your converter ought to have a dial/knob/twisting-thing at the end - to fill the pen, twist the knob until the inside piston is all the way down. Then dip the nib of the pen into the ink bottle and twist the knob slowly in the other direction, and it will suck up ink. You'll get the hang of it quickly, and might make a mess the first few times, but it will come. And then you will know the joy of writing with a fountain pen! For more, try this helpful guide from one of my favorite purveyors of writing papers and utensils (I don't work for them, i just really like their stuff): http://www.levenger.com/fill-a-fountain-pen-887.aspx

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

Not sure what type cross fountain pen I have, but the converter fits perfectly. Sorry I could not answer your question.

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!
