Online Vision Nib Replacement


theamusedone

Recommended Posts

Hi there! This is my first post here, and I am hoping someone might be able to offer some advice.

 

I have a Online Vision pen that came with a medium point. While I love the pen, the medium point does bad things to my handwriting. I did write to the company to ask what kind of nib would work as a replacement, and did not receive a response. The pen itself can be seen here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039VSW4I?psc unhappily, I left the pen at work so cannot give the exact info from the nib itself.

 

And while I am on the topic of nibs, I was also recently given and handmade fountain tip pen. It's lovely, but once again, a medium. The front of the nib says Iridium Point Germany, and the back just has a 3 on it.

 

And help would be much appreciated!

 

Thank you,

 

John

I have a Online Vision as well. I manage to buy an XF nib, but it is way too fine for me. Anyway, the nib unit can be unscrewed, than just pull the nib and feed out of the shell. It looks like a #5 nib, but an Edison or TWSBI (both JoWo) will have a bit of play in the shell, so I'm guessing their nibs are made by Schmidt.

Not very many North American companies seem to carry Online pens, and fewer still stock nibs. You can always go directly to the company and search for nib units:

You'll want units compatible with their easy change system - you can even get a gold nib (which seems like overkill) or a rollerball conversion.

 

Their shipping is rather pricey, though, so this really only works if you are buying something else as well.

Thank you! I had checked then out when I first bought the pen, I had just forgotten. Their flat rate to the US is $40. For three nibs! I like the pen, but am not sure if I am up for committing to that!

A bargain. 50 Euros to Canada, which rules out my business.

      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
