What nib you have used

Mehandiratta: Hi, the writing in the pic with the writing should tell you about the nibs. Unfortunately, the pic is rotated and not readable rightaway. But I'll summarize:

Nemosine #6 Medium (silver/chrome tone) for the Wality 69EB - green ripple,

Knox #6 Medium (gold tone) for the Gama Forever - brown ripple.

No change of feed in either pen.

Cheers!

Let us know how it goes.

I also have a 2-tone Knox #6 in a Gama Eyas, keeping the original feed. Result: same wet writing, as with the stock nib, just a bit smoother. In addition, I have kept another Eyas (matte) as is, with original nib and feed. I like its feedback (the feel and the sound it makes on the paper) and have decided not to put in a smoother nib. The original Indian nibs are not all that bad, actually.

Here's a pic of the 4 nibs L to R:

Eyas w/stock nib, Eyas w/ 2-tone Knox #6, Forever w/gold tone Knox #6, Wality 69EB w/ Nemosine #6.

The Forever is not as wet a writer as the others and I am going to see if I can get a new feed.

Replaced all wality nibs with Kanwrite nibs .. awesome upgrade..

August 29, 2016

Have been using Wality pen little over 2 weeks. They are available on Amazon.in now.

I have had no issues with the nib. A bit of tweeking to get the wet writing and using Bril Royal Blue. They are Fine nibs and gliding fine. With the package they also provide extra two-tone nibs M size. They glide well too.

Personally have not found any issues.

My oversize Ranga Ebonite eyedropper came with a Wality fine nib. It was okay, but I wanted something a little nicer. My Goulet and Noodler's nibs looked their shoulders were a bit too wide. My last Goulet order had a couple Nemosine nibs and they looked like a better fit. The nib and feed came out pretty easy. The Nemosine was much longer than the Wality, but it did fit with a little extra push. Pen writes fine except sometimes it has a little trouble keeping up if I write too fast. I may switch inks from the Heart of Darkness. It almost looks like the HoD is drying up on the nib and feed. May go to a wetter ink.

Wality nibs are 28mm long. My experience has been that standard 35mm nibs do fit, but will have some issues of flow since the tip will be pretty far away from the feed. What i have been doing is loping of ~6mm from the tail of standard 35mm nibs and then fitting these in. Heat setting is almost mandatory sometimes multiple times (caveat - always do it with the section assembled into the barrel).

The 71J fitted with the Kanwrite 35mm (the nib on the Noodlers Konrad, they are OE to Noodlers) is my BSB pen. Works like a dream. The 69T sports an Ambitious 35mm with the tail off and that to is a great pen (Ambitious is a large nib maker, who rumour has it supplies steel nibs to quite a few reputed pen makers and off and on to Schmidt)
