Top, old CON-70. Bottom, CON-70N.
The same modifications were applied to the black version common to the urushi-based decorated pens under Pilot and Namiki brands.
There are a number of differences between them, but the one that looks more significant is the internal cylinder right behind the rubber stopper. Pilot, in fact, points at it when warning about the usage of Tsuwairo inks. The ink capacities of both versions have not changed significantly—they are 1.0 ml (with a margin of error of +-0.05 ml).

I am surprised by how much more I enjoy the CON-70N than the predecessor. It seems to fill much more easily and the knock (?) operates with less pressure. The original CON-70 always felt to me as if it had unnecessary resistance when operating. I'm curious what makes the CON-70N different enough that Pilot encourages filling with Tsuwairo. After all, pigment ink could dry up in either one.
Anonymous--you are very right. The latest iteration of the CON-70 is a lot smoother and friendly that the previous ones. And about the reasons behind those warnings on the use of Tsuwairo inks in the old CON-70, I am as puzzled as you are.
Thanks for passing by and commenting.
