I was riding with a Wing Sung 3009 today (a pretty nice, super cheap piston filler BTW) when I noticed this gunk on the inside of the cap. I’m pretty sure that I filled the pen up with Noodler’s Air Corps Blue/Black a few months ago and then let the pen sit. It wrote pretty much right away....
I’ve had this happen with cheap pens before, it’s definitely corrosion. It doesn’t harm the pen function but if you don’t like the look you can replace it with a nylon screw which won’t react to ink.

I did buy it on Amazon, but it was shipped and sold by them so I trusted that it was legit. The ink cartridge was included with the pen. After fussing with it some more and reading all the responses here I’ve decided to return it for a refund. Guess this is a lesson to stick with more trusted retailers, I’ve been lucky to never receive an Amazon fake but I guess there’s a first time for everything.
What are some pros and cons of your DIY cable labeling approaches you have tried?

Anybody have any idea what this stuff inside the cap of my pen is? ( lemmy.world )

I finally decided to try a Pilot Metropolitan... and I hate it :( ( lemmy.blahaj.zone )
