Can someone help me fix my fine pen?

Question

I have been using the Pilot G-Tech 0.3 fine pen ever since high school. I like it very much because of how it enhances my hand writing.

But lately I've been having problems with my refills. Now my pen suddenly starts running thin and sometimes doesn't ink at all. This is the second time it's happened and it would be such a waste considering that there's still a lot of ink and I'd just throw it away again.

Does anyone (who is familiar with this pen) know what causes this and what I can do to make the ink flow again? Plus I would also like to know the company website so that if I don't get any info here I can also get it there.

Thanks to all answers in advance. Ü

PS. I know this sounds silly but I'm a writer and I get edgy when something like this happens.

Sounds like you bought some old stock. The cartridges do dry out if they are stored too long. Less people are buying refillable pens so the stock at stores tends to lag.
