The sketches and writing samples were all great in this ink; love those oranges!

Interestingly, I've been using this ink again today, and it's started misbehaving.
The "anti-gravity" effect the Suzy showed, has been causing a bit of mischief. I've been writing with it and it's suddenly gone dry. When I've looked inside, there's been an air gap between the ink in the cartridge and the feed.
I put the cap on, and gave it a shave nib down to encourage the ink to the opening, and it fired up fine - but then did the same thing a few lines later (I had been capping it and laying the pen down between lines). So it behaves well at the nib and feed, but doesn't always behave on the way there.
I would not see this as bad behavior as it is not uncommon.
Cartridges are very small in diameter and the ball inside should help to break the surface tention inside.
For that reason there are also converters with little agitators in it, most of the time balls or springs inside, which freely move arround.
Some people even pimp their converters and add agitators to them.
May I ask how you store your pen?
If you store it nib up it is much more likely that you will observe that behavior.
Fair play. This is just the first time I've noticed it, but as you know, I don't have that many miles on the clock yet. Yes, all my pens are stored nib up in a pen pot, clattering around with other pens. The only ones that don't live in pen pots are my Parker Vector set which lives in a tin when not inked, and a couple of spare Wing Sung 3008s which I don't need in circulation.

Wow! Fantastic sketches and writing samples with this ink. I really appreciate all of your efforts on this, and particularly you, Scooby921.
