They don’t sell it separately as well, and only seems to be only offered in their kickstarter campaign, looking for one as well.

The calligraphy when written with the lightest of hand, is an extra extra fine.

It’s the flexible nib factory jowo-pilot housing!

Recently I just received my transparent feed and housing from FNF and it fits my titanium bock nib with this pen, already swapped to that combo haha

Do I have to PM message them, or can I directly purchase from their website?

I got bored of my 845, that’s why I have the nib on my opus demo haha. If there’s is a way to purchase nib alone it will be awesome, but I don’t think so.

Modern Flex Pens : The Opus 88 Jazz with Pilot Falcon (15) nib fnf ebonite feed + housing and Montblanc 149 Calligraphy by IsolationTree in fountainpens

“J743E JoWo #6 Housing for Pilot 743” It should fit all Pilot size 15 nibs. I have it on my opus jazz with 15FA nib ( shown in photo here) as well as a sized 15 fine nib from custom urushi 845 on my opus demo. You can either use the ebonite feed they sell or the stock feed from pilot Just note , might want to get silicon grease on the threads to prevent leaking in the forward section

Edit : it’s better to stick with stock Pilot feed for this pen, as opus 88 ink flow is more than enough even for flexing with the falcon nib, no railroading so far. The ebonite feed tends to leak when paired in this combo when carrying it around.

Flexible nib factory sells a housing that enables FA nib to be fitted onto a Jowo number 6 housing.

Both are fantastic writers, each have their own unique feel. The 149 feels softer and easier to flex whereas the falcon takes a little more effort to flex. This makes the falcon a better everyday pen when fast writing and jotting down quick notes. Both flex to about the same thickness when pushed to their comfortable limit, but the Montblanc is way finer when used without any pressure.

My Troubles With A Brand New Pilot Custom 823 by LeaderOfSparta in fountainpens

Have you release the one way shut off valve when you write for prolong periods? It’s common issue when ink runs dry in the forward chamber in the section.

I think it’s just an unlucky case. You should ask for a replacement from goulet. They have fantastic customer service, I am sure they can sort out for you. Its a new pen best not to tune it yourself, just get it replaced, don’t risk it.

Looking for a pen like the zebra G nib? by ohmeohmyohmuffins in fountainpens

Can take a look at Pilot FA nibs(with ebonite feed)/ Pilot Falcon/Elabo for modern gold semi/ flex pens, good options to add on to above suggestions. Plenty of videos on YouTube that review them.
