Possible that I've posted this here before, but since views seem to be trending upwards and it also might have been on the other instance that's gone now...

...I positively love these pens, but is there any practical way to disassemble them, or am I stuck with the ink color I chose for them?

That helps a ton - mostly, I disassemble to the extent possible, rinse individual parts until they run clear, and let dry. The ones that don't disassemble are the ones that invariably give me trouble.

Upright in a small jar makes perfect sense - the downside to sharing this hobby mostly over the internet is that sometimes I miss obvious stuff like that.

Cool. Yeah I miss stuff too. I'm glad we finally have a FP community here. I really missed that from the other site. Anyway... I have quite a few vintage pens that don't take kindly to disassembly and I am lazy so I guess that's why I did the soaking thing. Having to flush by using a lever or button filler is less than fun lol.
