@TimmyMac I’m guessing it’s a Pilot with a Con-B converter? If so, the Con-40 piston style one is widely disliked too and the Con-70 doesn’t fit in all pens. Using blunt syringe to refill empty cartridges is indeed a good technique, that’s what my dad always does. I personally just used the bladder style converter when I had a pen with one. You certainly can syringe-fill the converter too, to be sure how much ink you have in there; just remember if you fill that up way, the feed won’t be primed, so you’ll have to wait a moment (or give the bladder a GENTLE squeeze) to let the ink work its way through the feed to be ready to write.
