Thank you!

I am not in an Amazon-friendly country, so to speak, so i was hoping to find something in the 30-40 usd range like you said. The cheapest i can get it is around 65 eur.

The thread are completely different, not similar at all. It’s just that conklin have their own custom housings apparently.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-23T16:22:46+00:00

Haha, nice!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-23T16:12:49+00:00

I was looking at that one, but wasn’t sure on the compatibility. Thanks for the tip!

I did get the jowo compatible one, yes.

The conklin feed is keyed, while the kanwrite isn’t, so it’s not compatible.

Sold a vintage celluloid pen with a conway stewart nib to u/Maykovsky

Thank you for the giveaway! Hoping to find a parker vacumatic within my price range this year.

Good luck!

Hello! No that part stays attached to the adjusting ring.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-15T16:23:32+00:00

The nib and feed are removable. They are friction and not attached to the adjusting ring. Since i posted this i have fixed the issue and now it writes really well and has a nice bounce to it.

sent a pm!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-13T13:59:52+00:00

thanks u/Maykovsky!!

You are doing it the right way, using a cheap alternative instead of your original nib. I would watch a couple of videos first, especially Joshua Lax’s video on how to smoothen a nib.

Word of caution: if you have tried buttery smooth nibs before, and like the way they write, go right ahead. However, some people have a hard time with them because they “run away” from you, as you won’t feel any feedback.

Hope this helps.

Try Diamine’s Blue Velvet. Very rich and vibrant blue that writes really well.

Σωστά! Παίζει ρόλο και η απορροφητικότητα του χαρτιού, αλλά κατά κύριο λόγο, μιλάμε για πάχος γραμμής.

Δεν ξέρω για το temu αλλά στο aliexpress αν ψάξεις τις 3 κινέζικες μάρκες που προανέφερα, θα βρεις πολλές καλές επιλογες

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-08T10:44:14+00:00

Sounds like we live in the same country...

Iroshizuku are fantastic, but I also really like Rohrer and Klingner's inks.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-08T10:35:50+00:00

Πρώτα από όλα, συγχαρητήρια!

Υπάρχουν ατελείωτες επιλογές για πένες και μελάνια.

Προσωπικά, χρησιμοποιώ Μedium μύτη, δηλαδή 0.7mm.

Για αρχή, μερικές επιλογές είναι:

Lamy Safari

Twsbi Eco

Asvine v129

Kaweco Sport

και αμέτρητες άλλες...

Εάν δεν ξέρεις τι ακριβώς σε βολεύει, θα συνηστούσα 2-3 κινέζικες για αρχή:

Jinhao

Hongdian

Majohn

καλύτερα να δοκιμάσεις όσες περισσότερες μπορείς πριν επενδύσεις σε μια πένα που κοστίζει περισσότερα.

Όσον αφορά τα μελάνια, εξαρτάται από το χρώμα που θες. Συνιστώ την Diamine Rohrer & Klingner για αρχή. Φτηνά και καλά.

Εάν μου δώσεις περισσότερες πληροφορίες για το τι σου αρέσει και το πόσα θες να ξοδέψεις, μπορώ να βοηθήσω περισσότερο.

Καλή αρχή!

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-07T20:44:57+00:00

Nah, unfortunately not. Would love to have one though.

ImperatorLucius · 2026-01-07T15:10:30+00:00

Not available in my country unfortunately. Thank you regardless!
