Someone told me years ago to add a little glycerin to the ink to increase the ink drying time and prevent clogging. I haven't tried it.

Thanks for your replies..

I would love to get the cleaning fluid and wire. Where would one find such
materials? What's "OD?"

Hi Kareem,
 
    What is the matter with your existing pen? You can buy a special
cleaning fluid for capillary pens. You can also buy fine wire for cleaning
out small tubes. I usually use fine piano wire or hard Nichrome wire, ground
to a diagonal knife end. If you have a problem in getting cleaning fluid,
look for paint stripper fluid containing Methylene Chloride.
    I can buy very small bore SS tube quite easily. What is the OD of your
existing tube?
