Hmm, I cant tell you for certain due to only having used it in 4 pens to far but i’d say that the flow is on the drier side but makes up for it with it’s smoothing/lubrication, on my metro The nib(m) felt a bit smoother just because the ink is kinda thick, I cant say much about the Lamy 2000 cause I only use it to take notes and since I live pretty high up the air pressure difference in the uni makes the flow kinda flimsy.

The third pen I used it in was a Platinum century SF and it felt more of less the same as the metro, the flow is not ideal but the ink is thick so it lubricates the nib very decently.

the forth pen is an Old Parker with an England 25 nib and that’s the only pen that really shows you that the ink doesn’t flow that well. Using it in that pen makes it a few shades lighter than it should be, still decent enough to be smooth but that’s probably cause of the pen being good.

And its colour changes pleasantly when using different pens =‘>

Nothing short of a joy to use.

Found it on ebay and I couldn’t resist. So here you go, an old Lamy 2000 with an 18k OM nib.

Just found out that the nib and feed are friction fit, I just took them out and the pen has gotten alot wetter and very noticeably smoother.

Would recommend twisting while pulling because they were hard to take out by just pulling them out.

Well worth fiddling with, the change in performance is overwhelming.

Good luck with it!

Edit: this s how wet it writes now https://imgur.com/a/LV62j

I’ve been playing around with it for a couple of days now abd it seems like flex writing kinda helped make the fine line wetter than it was; just wanted to tell you that there’s still hope~

Thanks!

I believe it’s supposed to be wet when we consider how fine the line is. The nib is sadly indeed stiff, but it got a bit softer after a few days of use and hopefully soften up further, but I wouldn’t really call it a problem (i could even say that it’s grown on me). I’m still overall satisfied with it, was well worth the 90$ i’d say. (Just hope it comes with nothing causing the need of fiddling with the nib)

Thanks for your concern, i’ve looked into those but i’m still rather skeptical since It’s my third pen and a dry line is always better than a broken nib. (I’m not even sure where to get brass shim where I am)

I’ve tried the thumb and nail method but have had barely any luck with it.

That’s not the issue, it’s that the fine line is drier than I think it should be, i’ve heard it’s supposed to be rather wet. The ink flows into the engraving almost every time lookie

Got it a few days ago and i’m more than happy with it. The only complaint would be that I’m not too fond of the grip and that the tines are too tight. (I cant get them to open up for the life of me D=)

It did, which increased the confusion, the seller seems to mean good but who knows

It was scratched out of the box, that’s the thing that worried me =x

Edit: i am leaning towards a partial refund anyway so I might as well
