Well, this is probably not going to be my first mistake. I got a 1.1 stub for a jinhao X750 and didn’t noticed it was a size 5! 
 

So I now have this nib and no pen to use it. Any cheap recommendations to get and put it in? 
 

Tried my Kaweco sports, but this one is too long. I already have a stub in an Twisbi Eco. 
 

Help please. 
I don’t want to waste this nib. Maybe a cheap and good Moonman? I think I have enough Jinhaos 😅

Oh, my, to have such a terrible problem.

 

:D

 

Check out the pens at Fountain Pen Revolution from Kevin... ask him for recommendations if in doubt... he'll hook you up. 👍

Just put it away. No hurry. You may need it in a pen down the road.

Thank you all for the kind recommendations! I got a jinhao 992 on the way and I think it will fit that one. 
 

I totally broke my No new fountain pens resolution for this year XS

 

will need to come up with an explanation for my partner, I could say new pen pals have a kind heart. 😅

Jinhao 992 if you want a small comfy pen that is super cheap.

The penbbs pens and moonman c1 would not fit.

The moonman m2 probably would.

A cheap option, but still Jinhao, is a Jinhao X500. Takes a #5.

Not a bad pen.

Not sure but it might fit a Moonman C1 or C2 both nice pens available on Amazon or ebay.

Hi InknSap,

 

I'm glad you were able to find a solution to your cataclysmic crisis. :D

 

The way I see it, you have two options: You can pull yourself up, dust yourself off and start anew; or you can throw in the towel, buy all kinds of pens and convince yourself that 2022 "will be the year!" :rolleyes:

 

Don't lie! It will always eventually turn around and bite you in the glutes. Just keep a glazed expression on your face and insist you dont see any strange, unauthorised pens lying around. 👍

The muft pens that FPR offers, are , by the looks of it, Oliver exam piston fillers. They will accept a No 5 nib as well (I use mine with Kanwrite No 5 nibs).

 

PS tough life choices to make.

Nope, the Muft is an eyedropper pen (I have three).  The Guru is FPR's lowest price piston filler, and the Indore their lowest price cartridge/ converter pen.  eta:  All three are fitted with FPR #5.5 nibs, and a #5 should be a fairly good fit.

Ohh I did not knew that (I have none, so made a guess from pics of it on site), Thanks for the nugget of truth.

      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
