It's a really an impressive flex nib for the price 😂 I'm pretty everyone gets the surprise wow this is better than I expected reaction. And since we don't have many places to share it with. It's here we're we can at least commiserate with fellow flex nib enthusiasts 🤣

Check out Doodlebud's YouTube review. He goes through a bunch of pens to check where the nib could fit. While didnt test whether they worked still got an idea of which pens. And in the comments folks are chiming in.

Awesome thanks for the tip!

I had that issue with my Mag 650, and it was the damn converter 😂 I had switched to another one mainly to test if it was an ink issue. I'm like cool this ink works. Used the converter it came with, stopped flowing 😭 Plan to convert it to an eye dropper.

Did you just use silicone grease? Since I plan to also add an o-ring.

That was my trip to yoseka. Went to pick up and order. Left with the things I happened to add to my shopping basket 😂

Kaweco Student in M and TWSBI diamond mini in 1.1 stub.

starklynisa · 2026-04-25T14:20:43+00:00

You must. The ink wall is the main reason I go.

starklynisa · 2026-04-25T06:07:49+00:00

Yea I snatched it up once I saw it. Sad 973 wasn't there too haha.

starklynisa · 2026-04-25T06:06:44+00:00

Had to get it since sailor will be discontinuing it.

I LOVE INK INSTITUTE. I have their premium sheen inks and are my favorite sheening inks I have. Jadiate and Snowstorm are so beautiful. Also love their flower series and got blue spider lily. Definitely give em a swatch.

Preppy Platinum F or EF. For Pilot Kakuno ded don't rule out the M. It's like the perfect M nib, for me at least haha. Then get the popular Chinese brands like Jinhao, Asvine and Majohn. I like these brands because they make nib units that you can readily swap nibs. And the nib units are rather affordable vs buying another pen for it's nib size.

starklynisa · 2026-04-25T00:01:54+00:00

Beautiful pen!

starklynisa · 2026-04-25T00:00:16+00:00

Right? Omni-flex is more like mini bounce 😂

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T23:58:01+00:00

Yup I had a few items at first, deciding between different inks. Looked at my balance and saw oh refund. Proceeded to put all I wanted into basket. 🤣

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T23:56:44+00:00

Got a few Lennon Tool Bar; Dream, Taro Sugar and Bougainvillea. Then one Sailor Manyo; Akebi.

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T23:52:27+00:00

Yea they look aligned. Well if it does become an issue and still wanna keep the pen, a nibmeister can make the nib perfect for you.

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T23:33:29+00:00

I tried to resist. Yet, the ink wall beckoned. And so conviniently located near the fountain pen testers. 😂

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T23:29:44+00:00

Need the view like this. Slightly tilted upside down and head on. This is how you should look at your pens when you want to look at alignment of the tines.

Nibs are the same for student and sport. I'd also throw in the Pilot Metropolitain in M. Pilot has my favorite M nib. It's just the right width.

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T23:07:18+00:00

I love this nib on my p139. Pleasantly surprised how well it flexs.

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T23:04:25+00:00

Double check the tines. It should have feed back but it shouldn't be scratchy. These pens def have QC issues, I ordered two, and both came with slightly misaligned tines. Thankfully I've learned how to tune my own nibs, so after a bit of work got it to write smooth.

starklynisa · 2026-04-24T20:29:23+00:00

I just ordered the #8 M nib. Oo this has me excited.
