@sanityinc@hachyderm.io A lot of mine died too :( For the bigger sizes like 0.5 and 0.7+ : take them completely apart, clean with pen cleaner + an ultrasonic bath and try to not forget them while filled with ink. I could not save the smaller ones since I can't disassemble them without damage...

@Chamaeleon@mastodon.art Awww. I tended to buy the narrowest possible ones, so almost all of mine are like 0.18 or 0.25, and gunked up. Plus they have that thing where the barrel starts to crack at the threads. So sad! Maybe need to try an ultrasonic cleaner. Somebody should make a modern day equivalent. Thinking of getting a Platinum 3776 UEF or a Pilot 912 PO, but fountain pens aren't quite the same.
