It says it includes a con20 converter. I already have these pens and previously they came with a bulb for flushing that looks like a con-20 but does not become fixed to the pen. I am wondering if pilot has changed this or if this drop comes with additional con-20s are included?

AusjawIt's probably just an error. The "cleaning converter" (as Brian Goulet calls it in his videos) included with the Parallel is similar to the CON-20, but it lacks the external metal housing. It has pretty much the same capacity as the CON-20 (which is more than the CON-50). When I use a Parallel to highlight (yes, I use a Pilot Parallel as an highlighter, shame on me), I have the "cleaning converter" in it, and I've never had any dislodging issues with it. It feels as tightly sealed as a CON-20/CON-50. I wouldn't use it on a Vanishing Point, as the metal housing of the CON-20 prevents force applied to the opening button from hitting the sac, but I see no reason not to employ the "cleaning converter" as an ink reservoir on a Parallel. p.s.: for more infos on Pilot converters:

AusjawHi @Ausjaw,
The converter that is included with the Parallel is intended for cleaning, but is the same aerometric design as the CON-20. As @AlexGk mentions, it has pretty much the same ink capacity, and it functions the same as the CON-20 while lacking the full metal shell so is great for holding ink or cleaning.
The same partial-shelled CON-20 style converter comes with the Pilot Metropolitan fountain pens.
