I'm looking at purchasing an Edison bulb filler second hand and I don't care for the nib size. I'm wondering if I can change the nib with one of the new Goulet nibs, or a similar #6 nib. Note- I won't be changing the feed, just the nib if possible. Anyone know? Thanks for the help!

No problem with switching nibs, but nibs only.

 

The nibs that the Goulets sell will be fine, or you can also reach out to us to get one if you like. I can't speak for any other #6 nibs, however, as they are not all compatible just because they are #6.

 

Don't change the feed or housing, as those have been altered specifically for the bulb filling system. If you have any problems, just reach out.

They screw out and replacement screws back in. Like an Estie or Pelikan. It's simple enough I could do it and that says a lot. Enjoy your new Pen. I love my Edisons.

This is true, but be aware that if you are unscrewing nibs, then bulb filler nibs need to stay with bulb fillers. Pump Filler nibs need to stay with pump fillers. You can't take a standard nib intended for a converter pen and screw it into a bulb or pump filler. This is why I mentioned above to switch the nib only, but keep the feed and housing.

 

All of this is covered with each respective video regarding each filling system, which you'll see on our website. Thanks!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
