Namiki Falcon ran dry...and it's cleaned and out of rotation for the moment. A silver Estie was topped off with 5 O'Clock Shadow as a stand in.

lamy 2000 fine nib ran out of florida blue this a.m.
The Noodler's Black Swan ran dry today in my FC B&B Essentials. Reloaded with 5O'S.
Lamy Safari ran out...refilled with PR Ebony purple and swapped the 1.1 nib for the EF. Writes like beaut.
Konrad also ran out yesterday...refilled it about halfway with Diamine Twilight from sample vial. Can someone post / link me to a comparison of that vs. Noodler's 54th Mass.? From what I recall, this looks quite similar.

Yesterday Lamy Safari with 1.1 mm ran out of Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue. Refilled with Noodlers Bad Belted Kingfisher
Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman ran out of Akkerman #8. It was getting a little gummy around the nib and feed so I "field cleaned" it in the office - A quick flush and soak in an office tea cup and it'll be ready to refill at home tonight.
My Bexley filled with Diamine Steel Blue ran out of ink.

My Parker 51 Aerometric ran out of Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher. Flushed and refilled with a new ink, Organics Studio "Blue Merle", a dark blue-gray.
This is my first ever post to this thread, because I've just emptied my first ever converter!
Franklin Christoph B&B Essential just ran out of Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Kai. I'm going to refill it with whichever sample I blindly take out of the pile given to me by my mother-in-law for Christmas.... unless it's Baystate Blue... that's not coming anywhere near this pen.

Diplomat Magnum Soft Touch emptied of its included cartridge (probably J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir).
(I will not take half-full cartridge pens on airplanes. I will not take half-full cartridge pens on airplanes. I will not....)

Emptied a Pelikan M400 of Montblanc blue and filled with old (2005) Lamy blue-black, the iron-gall formula. I forgot how dry this ink was, I wonder if the newest is better flowing.
Pilot Falcon with its fill of Black Eel finally ran dry & filled it with La Reine Mauve. Surprisingly nice with this nib!
Green Esterbrook J (possibly being) emptied of F-C Olde Emerald. Not sure why I have a bunch of ink in the cap.
I cleaned the ink out of the cap at work (at least what I could) and managed to turn the nib in the section an extra five degrees. I'll have to check for a cracked section or something not quite sealing in the fitting between the nib and the section.

Pilot Metropolitan ran out of Noodler's Polar Blue today, going to be washed and don't know what to fill with yet.
Pilot Falcon ran dry at work...so I put a bit of Waterman's Florida Blue in it (I keep a bottle at work) to tide me over 'till home. Flushed clean and filled with Whaleman's Sepia once home. Nice!
Sailor 1911 Realo ran dry of Sailor Jentle Epinard.
Lami Vista ran out of Liberty's Elysium just now. I'll have to wait till I get home tomorrow to flush it.
edit: I have my samplers with me, so Noodler's Luxury blue is in it now. it's not as good.
