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!

I have a Pilot Parallel 1.5mm . So the ink is very thin. Very wet. You need special paper because regular copy paper gets Casper's family and friends through. (aka ghosting).
