My Kaco EDGE is drying out, even when using it the next day. I feel that the issue is related to the converter, because usually I can fix the issue (even for a couple of days) by driving the converter just a little bit outwards and then cleaning the pen. The converter is a rather cheap one made of plastic. It came in a set with the pen and the schmidt EF nib. I saw this set of many places, but it looked like this:

What is the “right way” to fix this. I know the TWSBI Eco wants to be greased regularly – is this a thing with converters?
Yup, I’ve google that name and from the looks it could be this one https://www.schmidtpenparts.com/collections/ink-converters/products/schmidt-k1-ink-converter (no labels on the converter)
It’s more likely a cap problem combined with an EF nib and dry ink, I reckon. These converters are used in many pens and often rebranded. I can imagine that a converter could possibly cause issues if it doesn’t fit perfectly.
