Hehe... that was mean eh'
Ok i am going to do a video on how to do it but it is really easy.
You need a empty cart, #6 sac and shellac. Pendemonium has the sacs and shellac CHEAP.
Ready... in a nut shell you cut the cart leavign about an 1/8" on the back side. Then measure out the sac while on the cart so it will fit within the back of the pen once on. Then cut the sac to size and add shellac to the cart and put the sac on. Once it dries you will now have an eyedropper for your Kaweco.
Holds a lot of ink and is super cheap. Does not leak as long as you apply the shellac correctly. Its easy to make a few it you want so you can change out the ink color without to much effort other then cleaning the nib out.
Drill a hole in the end of the barrel and make it a blow filler!

I may have to give that cart/bulb filler a try!
Is it really so hard to syringe refill cartridges? That being said, after using my Kaweko for a couple months, the piston filling model would be cool.
Not hard, just annoying.

Granted! I've been using my pen all the time with a massive smile on my face. Hooray, I'm italic again! And I daresay it's not as smooth as a commercial italic nib but it's pretty good - I'd call it feedbacky rather than scratchy.
I finished my first cartridge and refilled it with Noodler's Black and everything's lovely.
I'm going to leave it alone for a while now - the sac conversion looks great but because of the small size of the pen I think the increase in ink capacity would be pretty minimal. Maybe I'll have a go one day when I have a bit of spare time!
Thanks again everyone for your advice and encouragement.

I bought the converter but have not tested it yet. I am still trying out the mini arometric filler in my Passaporto. That holds roughly .2-.3 ml's.

I took my Liliput up in an airplane recently, 3 hour flight, and it didn't leak even a tiny bit either way. I even wrote with it in the air and it was fine. I've got Noodler's Black in a re-filled cartridge. Result!

The converter did not fit on the nipple.

I tried the Monteverde mini converter on a recent Kaweco Sport and the thing just doesn't fit. Apparently Kaweco made some subtle changes to the back of the feed, it isn't the bore of the converter so much as the outside diameter or something. I have inspected it and can't see why it doesn't fit - but it doesn't.
I'm now using the official Kaweco squeeze converter - everything fits, but ink capacity is very small and I have the impression that the converter doesn't fill very well.
Pens and paper everywhere, yet all our hearts did sink,
Pens and paper everywhere, but not a drop of ink.
