I have not had one yet. Neither one of my Platinum converters will pull ink with the nib attached, so I feel your pain.
I have been working on and off with a review of mine and in a Pilot VP getting it to fill all the way has been a challenge and I can't figure out exactly why.
I held of releasing the review due to this.
I just don't understand what is going on with the convertor .... I may just finish the review showing this and leaving it at that for now.
But I m seeing some odd issues as well.
I'm waiting to receive mine today (from Amazon) and will try it out with a Metropolitan. I've had no problems with using the CON50 or CON70 in the past. This is discouraging to hear...
I'm using mine in a VP. Even if I stick the converter right into ink it won't pull it up. I love the capacity but I can't get it to fill without a syringe! I don't get it

I've tried it in a metro, a falcon, it only gets worse. The converter is not able to be taken apart so I can even apply silicon grease to insure a good seal

Contact the regional distributor for Pilot.
But they are the folk most likely in a position to influence speedy results.
Ill let the review speak for itself and others write them ... I don't think they are interested in my thoughts. The other reason I held off on releasing the brief review is it will piss off the US side of things.
Until you hear it for yourself you don't realize how much they hate the global ability to acquire things before release.
Just look at Apple and when they release a new iPhone in certain countries and then people tape them to their bodies to "smuggle" them into countries where the release has not taken place. Apple won't and don't listen to complaints or issues those people are having because they simply do not recognize them having them.

I toke jars advise and contacted pilot they toke notes and said they aren't officially released. Hopefully they toke what I said to hear. I also conveyed our concerns to Brian goulet! He will do something but somehow he has the one good con40 on the planet! So please if you watch his reviews share your experience he is concerned!

Can someone 'splain to me what the difference is between the new Con 40, the 50, and the...er, is it the 20 that comes along with the Metro?

Great, thanks! Now i can see that I have one 50 and a bunch of 20s, which drive me nuts because they hide the amount of ink left.
Which is why most of the time I refill a cart.

Thanks for the photo. I believe you have misslabeled the 40 and 50 converters.

Amazon currently has these for $7.88/ea. I bought two more as my original one works just fine in my Metro.
