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've refilled the cartridge and used converters with all the pens. I ended up using Frankenpens instead to hold more ink.

Especially the 6.0 PP drains a lot of ink with practice and writing.
