Noodler's Creaper With Flexible Nib

[WillSW]

could you hack the mess out of the feed to quit the railroading? i mean, for $14, it's not like you'd be hurting it. You might even really improve it.

 

I think pulling the feed a little farther forward might do it, when I'm empty I'll try it. I don't want to increase the flow too much because it can already write very wet, it just has trouble traveling up that looonnngg slit.

Now that's a thought...

Several things I noticed in my review of all the Nooodler's pens (except Ebonite which has an air hole and therefore is not a "Creaper," and which I have coming from Goulet Pens) is there are several generations of Creaper nibs that are interchangeable within the generation, and all with slits extending up to the section.

 

The first are those in the Dollar pen with the letters "Noodlers Ink Co" written vertically on the nib (shown on left in my photo here).

 

Next generation are as shown in first post, with letters horizontally imprinted. Of the second generation, there are those that have some flex, and most released thus far that do not.

 

The flow in a creaper can be improved as I discussed in the review by adjusting the position of the nib. There is a raised stop inside the section that is a partial arc (varying in models). If the back of the nib is pressed up against that raised 1/3 circle stop, it will impede the flow. If you can look and see the stop inside, then position the nib rotated away from it. I also experimented with extending the nib out a bit, and eventually found a sweet spot that improved flow a lot. But you still need to pace your writing since the ink flow in this $14 pen is understandably not what you get from a well designed, vented, decent quality pen.
