dump_stack()

It's probably the first time I've had to clean it.

~5 years trouble-free.

I rarely write by hand. Some time ago I also needed to clean my pen because the ink got dry.
But in my case it was enough to use hot water.

What did you find inside?

dump_stack()

@skobkin, well, nothing inside except these parts and ink.

I rinsed it with hot water, dried it with a paper towel and it was ready to go.

Writing by hand is still the most convenient way for me to take notes.

By the way I don't see a converter on the photo. Do you use it with single use cartridges?

dump_stack()

@skobkin, yes. It's an ordinary LAMY Safari.

Here's mine BTW. To make your's a company.
I just bought a converter for mine.

// Didn't disassemble it completely because I just refilled it.

@skobkin, I prefer ink cartridges because no one at airport security cares about them.

Huh. Was someone asked about pen converters in the airport? 😲

dump_stack()

@skobkin, nope, but you need ink in case you need to refill.

I prefer not to think about how much ink is left. I just put a small pack of cartridges in the bagpack and forget about it.

@dump_stack @skobkin cartridges are useful for traveling, for sure.
But cartridges, especially Lamy, doesn't have such ink variaties, as usual bottles have

@dump_stack between every few refills fill it with water it and leave it nib down in a cup of water overnight, and never let it dry out... will never need to clean.

@freemo, tbh every couple of years it's no big deal to take it apart and clean it. Especially if you like to disassemble, well, everything.

It's good advice though, thanks.
