Hello everybody,
I have been using the Diamine Registrar for about 2-3 weeks. I am using it absolutely everyday, and I always clean it out every friday and ink it up again on Sundays (I tried my best to clean it thoroughly until there is not any ink left on a tissue. But this Friday I found the converter part is kind of stained. I tried to use vinegar (1:10 diluted) to flush out, and I have been soaking it for about 1 hour or so, but it doesn't help.
Furthermore, after I observed my VP's nib part closely, I found there are some inky part by the back end of the nib. I am kind of concerned about the inner part since I cannot disassemble it completely. I didn't notice any flow problem in my daily use. I wonder how am I suppose to clean it? Is it ok to swap another ink in it? I really don't want to ruin that pen since that is my very first purchased fountain pen.
Thank you very much in advance!!
