My first one!

Ok gents, I've made some reading about FP and keep playing around with the Parker Vector.
I finally made my mind and order a Stainless Steal Lamy Studio and some De Atramentis Absenthe ink (but I'll keep grading with red ). I found a converter for the Parker.. but I don't know which one get:

Thanks for all the help and words of wisdom!!!

It's the second one. The first one won't fit in your pen.

THE SHIPPING CHARGES ARE TOO HIGH!!!!!!!!!

You can get a Pilot 78g shipped to you in Chile from Hong Kong for ... free.

It's a lighter pen, but a good inexpensive writer. (There are four colours: black, blue/teal, green and red; there are fine, medium and broad nibs ... all at this price and with this free shipping. You can get a bottle of red ink from the same seller with minimal shipping too.)

The 78G like most Pilot pens can be a bit frustrating to get a good fill with. The included squeeze converter isn't fantastic, and the CON40 twist converter has a very small capacity. With that said, the 78G is a really nice writer like any Pilot pen I can think of.

Yes.


But with a decent dab of silicone grease, you can 'eyedropper' the 78g very nicely. (I have several done that way.)

Thanks for all the advice. My new tools should arrive next week. I'll post some pics and write my impressions.
