Editing Pilot Vanishing Point (section)

=== Nib unit and filling system ===

The nib, feed and cartridge or converter connection form a removable internal
unit. The entire unit is withdrawn from the barrel when the pen is filled,
cleaned or fitted with another nib unit.

Current Capless and Vanishing Point models use proprietary Pilot ink
cartridges or a Pilot converter. Pilot's instructions for the Capless Raden,
for example, specify the CON-40 rotary converter.<ref name="pilot-raden-guide">{{cite web

The standard modern Capless uses an 18-karat gold nib. Available nib widths
and finishes vary by model and market.
