I use my fountain pens for drawing and like a nice flex nib.

 

I recently bought a Guru pen from FPR, fitted with a flex nib. It writes very nicely with a nice flex and an ink flow that is nice.

 

However the body of the pen is kind of cheap and it smells awful.

 

I also have a Jinhao 599 which would be ideal if it had the FPR nib.

 

Can anyone recommend a chinese ebay type pen that can be fitted with a FPR nib and feed without any modification?

The smaller #5 nibs from FPR will fit into the plastic Jinhao 599 with just a little coaxing - the nib only, not the ebonite feed unfortunately! - but the #5.5 nibs (which is *probably* what you've got there, if you purchased your Guru in the past 6 months) is just a bit too big. It won't fit in the Jinhao 159, x450 or x750, though - the #6 nibs they're designed for are just too big!

all take a #6 nib

:huh:

 

So they (the 159 for example) do or do not take a standard #6 nib? Mine is a great writing pen but I'd love to pick up a springier nib for mine.

I think it means that the 5.5 nib that you currently have is too big for the the 599 and too small for the 159, X450 and X750.

      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
