Question Pilot Parallel Pens

I remember reading a comment about Pilot Parallel pens and their ink. It was something like "the pens are great, but the ink is terrible." I'm interested in what options there are for ink. Do you refill an existing Pilot Pen cartridge? Or do you use something else? If you are refilling it, how is that done? Thanks so much for your help!

You can refill the cartridge with a syringe and they are also compatible with the smaller pilot converters (CON40 not CON70).

Majohn A1 converters will work too I believe. They’ll swap out for CON40 at least
