Every time I want to clean out a fountain pen and change inks, I swear, it takes forever. I have a bulb I use to flush water through the feed and the nib, but even after I've put through probably two hundred times as much water as there can possibly be ink remaining, it's still coming out visibly colored. I have one of those sonic jewelry cleaners, too, but I feel like it just leaves the pens marinating in inky water (especially if I don't clean them the other way first); I have to change it out enough times that I'm not sure it's really faster or all that much less labor-intensive than flushing them by hand. Is there a faster way I'm just overlooking, or is this simply how it goes with fountain pens?
