Time to disassemble the Faber-Castell Basic.DISCLAIMER: Disassembling any fountain pen is likely to void the warranty of foresaid pen. You choose to disasse
Do check if c/c is properly seated in your Silver, and if not done already, try using it with ink cartridge. GvFC are on a dry side while their nibs are on the wet side, this balances well, so I would not necessarily go in direction of changing the ink. I only used the converter.
The pen was used for quite some time and was running out of gas. So I decided to give this technique a try: opened the top part (shown separately on the image below - please do not be lazy and get pliers - I used my teeth and it's not the smartest move - the cap is hard!), added a few drops of alcohol and - VIOLA! The pen has more life!
My fountain pen is having ink flow problems, what can I do? We recommend cleaning the fountain pen regularly (ideally every one to two months) under running, clear, lukewarm water. Particularly if the ink has dried up through lack of use, when changing the ink colour or if the ink flow has reduced.
Hold the tip of the pen to a flame for a few seconds to unclog the ink. Use a lighter, match, or candle to create a flame, then place just the very tip of your pen in the flame for a few seconds. In many cases, the heat will melt any gummed-up ink near the tip and get the pen working again.
This is a common problem with smooth, over-polished nibs, and Graf von Faber-Castell is one of the brands known for over-polishing. This can be fixed yourself as well with a little work, and there are dozens of posts on it in this subreddit and on YouTube.
Faber-Castell offers the popular classic pencil Castell 9000 in 16 hardness grades. Soft pencils are preferably used in the artistic field. An ideal writing pencil (e.g. for use in the office) has a medium hardness ("HB"), a school pencil has hardness grade B. Faber-Castell uses the following designations: B = Black H = Hard HB = Hard Black

I looked how I was holding my pen when drinking tea - it was still in my hand but nib pointing upwards. My conclusion: some inks have a higher survace tension and with those very slick inner surface of the converters somehow the air can not get into the converter because the ink sits on the feed.
