## Description

Pilot fount pen CON-70 converter

Review: Took a few attempts to get the right technique with the CON-70, then brilliant! - Bought 3 Pilot CON-70 Fountain Pen Converters. I wanted their much larger ink capacity compared to other Pilot Converters & most other brands. Initially, after pressing & releasing the plunger at least a dozen times, I could barely get any ink at all into either my Pilot Kakuno or Pilot Lightive fountain pens. This happened with the first 2 CON-70s I used. But both couldn't possibly be duds. Not with a quality brand like Pilot. I swear by Pilot fountain pens. I have a few Pilot FPs & they've never let me down. So I had to be doing something wrong. This worked for me after some initial hiccups: Press the plunger fast with added force, but release only slowly. Once I found the right technique, the CON-70 filled up fully with 4 to 5 presses. The larger ink capacity & a bit of added weight from the CON-70 has also made the relatively lightweight Kakuno & Lightive fountain pens even more pleasurable to use. I've no hesitation recommending the Pilot CON-70, as I've done with their excellent fountain pens. However, maybe be prepared for a few hiccups with initial use.
Review: Intended for specific Pilot models, not all - Relative to any of the other existing or now discontinued Pilot fillers for their range of fountain pens, this has a relatively large ink capacity of over 1.6ml; it may not sound much but most will allow less than 1ml! It has a deep contact area to ensure a tight fit but it will leak if ever removed from a pen while still containing ink; most alternatives will not. Filling requires 5 or 6 pumps but it is also more prone to retaining air bubbles within the volume of ink than a typical piston filler. The downside is that it will only fit the larger Pilot fountain pens of which the 74 is the most popular. For the remainder, it is both too long and too wide to fit. Essential to active, heavy users.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this converter fit the Pilot Metropolitan?**
A: The Pilot CON-70 converter WILL NOT FIT the Pilot Metropolitan pen. Fortunately, this excellent converter will DEFINITELY fit the following PILOT Fountain pens (which I own):
1) Pilot Kakuno (superb fountain pen with the same NIB used in the more expensive Metropolitan and Prera series of fountain pens). BTW: The Kakuno is available with Extra-Fine, Fine, and Medium nib sizes. High Quality at a low price. 
2) Pilot Explorer - another SUPERB model with the trademark smooth stainless steel nib. Nibs available are limited to FINE and MEDIUM. 
3) The Pilot 912, which sports a GOLD NIB. The 912 is available in a huge variety of nib sizes, ranging from FINE and going up to Broad, Calligraphy, and the „Music“ nib (used by musicians to document/write music).

**Q: would this fit in Parellel Pens?**
A: No. This converter is too large for a Pilot Parallel. It's for the much bigger Pilot pens like the Custom Heritage 912, Justus, and Metal Falcon. If you want a converter for Pilot Parallel Pens you should look at the CON-20 or the CON-50 converters.

**Q: Does this device allow for cheaper ink refills for the Pilot Parallel Caligraphy Pens? I'm a bit confused on what this does exactly. Thanks.**
A: yes! sorry for the very late response, but what this device does is turn the parallel into a refillable pen that you can use with bottled fountain pen ink.
the squeeze converter (the con-20, a little bladder that you can squeeze) that usually comes with the parallel does the same thing, this is just a different operating mechanism.

**Q: Wondering if this will fit the namiki falcon?**
A: No, it will not fit the Falcon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It does its job - really well
*by B***L on 23 September 2016*

Perfect fit for my Pilot Custom 74. I bought this converter to hold ink for my fountain pen. This converter holds lots of ink and has a vacuum type filling mechanism. The result it holds lots of ink and means that I'm not constantly refilling, a problem that I've had with the CON-20. I wish more manufacturers make converters like this as being easy to fill and clean makes it far superior to many other converters in other pens that I've tried in the past.
