My Kaco EDGE is drying out, even when using it the next day. I feel that the issue is related to the converter, because usually I can fix the issue (even for a couple of days) by driving the converter just a little bit outwards and then cleaning the pen. The converter is a rather cheap one made of plastic. It came in a set with the pen and the schmidt EF nib. I saw this set of many places, but it looked like this:

What is the “right way” to fix this. I know the TWSBI Eco wants to be greased regularly – is this a thing with converters?
My Kaco EDGE did the same thing - not sure why. Also had issues with hard starts. I didn’t put a lot of work into it and eventually gave up. Instead, I got a Jinhao 80 and swapped in a Lamy 1.1 stub that I had laying around, and it’s been excellent. If you can’t get the Kaco to write well but want something in a Lamy-2000-lookalike style, might consider the Jinhao 80. I have a couple of them now and they are great!
