    Default Want to find a converter for the Online Switch Plus

    Greetings everyone,

    I have an Online Switch Plus (http://www.online-pen.de/shop/switch-plus) that I got before I really got involved in the fountain pen world, and while it's a cheap pen, I'd still like to be able to write with it, but with a converter so i can use any ink I want. I have written my whole life with Pelikan Royal fckign Blue and I am thoroughly done with that colour, so I don't want to use my remaining cartridges. I have been using the long cartridges because they have more ink, but this gave a problem. the inside of the barrel gets rather narrow so the cartridge would get stuck at the back and then loosen so that's kind of a problem. And the standard international converter I got for it won't fit at all into the barrel. So I would like to ask if anyone knows of a small cartridge converter, or has experience with this pen and using converters. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Salutations.

    It depends how much too long or too narrow the converter is.
    E.g. I cut the end (more narrow and slightly shorter) of a Pelikan converter to fit in a Montblanc Noblesse (which has a really narrow barrel).
    So if it is not too far away you might be able to trim your converter also.

    I had also asked this question in my introduction, and people have given me a few options. Kaweco for example has small sized converters apparently.

    Indeed, even 2 models. There's a small piston, which the piston part that sticks out is narrower than usual, and the thing itself is shorter than average, and there's also a mini squeeze one, which I have no personal experience with but it also fits in the Sport models, so I think it should certainly fit in the pen you've got.
