Hi there,

 

I have received a Moonman C1 Demonstrator with an old-style Iridium Point nib unit. Is it possible to exchange this nib unit with a Jovo nib unit, or do I have to yank the nib out of the unit?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Cheers,

 

Luis

Yeah it should be possible. I've removed the original Moonman fine nib (silver with the mountain peaks design) and replaced it with a #6 bent nib from Bobby and it works fine. So a Jowo #6 should be fine too.

Hi Drathburn,

 

thanks for the reply.

 

My question refers specifically to the whole nib unit, i.e. is it possible to replace the whole nib unit by just screwing the original one out and the Jovo nib unit in?

 

Thanks for your help!

I have no first-hand experience of that.

Short update: I just managed to screw in ta Conklin Duragraph Stub nib unit. Fits as if tailor-made. Does anybody know who produces the nib units for Conklin?

 

Cheers,

I recently swapped a Jowo #6 EF nib into my Moonman C1, because I wanted a thinner line. And yes, you have to yank out the original nib and re-use the Moonman nib unit. The nib unit that came with the Jowo nib (from FP Nibs) is not compatible with the C1 section, and even if it were, it lacks the rubber O-rings to seal it.

This was my first time ever swapping a nib and was a bit nervous about it, but it turned out to be rather easy.

Interesting.

 

The Conklin nib unit that I have screwed into the C1 has no rubber O-rings, yet there are no leaks.

I swapped the Moonman c1's nib with Jinhao #6 nib which I got 3 of them for something like $1.2. Moonman's nib was somehow scratchy, was at finer side of F, and was dry as hell. Believe it or not, swapping the Moonman's nib with Jinhao #6 nib is actually has been an upgrade for the pen. Now it's a decent M wet writer.

 

I simply pulled the nib and the feed, and they both came out easily.

      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
