I just looked on the Writing Desk, and they are selling nib units for the Ambition and the eMotion (these are different nib units). In fact, it looks as though they're selling the entire nib+section unit. The nibs may be the same, but the section isn't...

 

 

If it comes with the section then yes it will be specific to the pen. But if its just the nib unit (nib, feed, and collar(the thing that holds the nib to the feed)) then that is the same between the basic, Loom, Ambition, Ondoro, and E-motion. Which kind of saddens me to think an E-motion has the same nib unit as a basic. The nib units just unscrew out of the sections, although they can be really tough to unscrew sometimes.

 

That being said, and with the price conversion of the usd - euro, the White E-motion from La Couronne Du Comte including the GOURMET10 discount code from gourmet pens, makes it a very attractive 85 ish euros which translates to about $93 usd. I'm having a hard time saying no.

From time to time I see some very good ebay deals on the Ondoro (plastic versions). That may help those who quite like the pen but feel it's a bit expensive...

 

Amazon too.

I bought mine there for a few pennies over £35 delivered.

 

One of my favourite pens and my solid every day carry for months now. LOVE it.

(It's nib is identical as far as I can make out to my Basic)

I'm considering buying a Loom.

How broad/fine line does it put down compared to other pens? I have Metropolitan (M), Custom 74 (M), Jinhao X450 (M), AL-star (F).

I'm choosing between F and M.

Faber Castell M is slightly wider than Metro's M. I am not sure how fine is FC's F. Judging by the flow my best guess is FC F would be a little dry without a tweak. FC nib feels very 'substantial' in that it can take a lot more abuse than Metro's. If you are comfortable with metro M I suggest you for for FC M.

      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
