I saw nothing out of the ordinary during my flush fills (with plain water) to clear out the remaining ink. When I attempted to fill with Montblanc Toffee Brown, I noticed that the pen wasn't taking up anywhere enough ink -- just enough to fill the front chamber (<0.1mL if I have to guess). Literally, nothin changed except the fluid that I dipped the pen in. No wait time in between flush and inking.
Are there any known issues with Visconti's fill system? Is this repairable? Any known "experts" in repairing Visconti's filling systems?... or do I need to send it back to Visconti / Coles of London?
Thanks,
Alper
