So a week or so ago I made three Zen fountain pens. Didn't have any glaring issues with assembly, put the cartridges in, and tested the pens. Seemed to work fine and even used one at work for a couple of days with no issues. Ended up putting them in my pen case (the one from woodcraft that comes apart at the hinge). Ordered a calligraphy nib from Exotic Blanks this week and wanted to try it out on one of these just to see what it did. That's when I found the issue. All three of the fountain pens had leaked. Not much in my case but when I took the caps off, there was ink everywhere. Cartridges were basically empty.
So is there something special about the Zen kits I missed? Did i get a bad batch? Or did I leave them laying down too long? I've had other fountain pens that laid on my desk for a few days and didn't leak like this. Really confusing to me.
Thanks for any help!!
