I can't deal with dry nibs in PenBBS 456

[PaJaC]

Hello,

PenBBS has been in my drawer for several years. This pen has been useless since I got it because the original nib didn't feel comfortable to me and all the others felt rough to me. I had a problem with the Bock nib, Kaweco, JoWo and none of them were up to the task. I even started buying nib products on AliExpress, but none of them satisfied me. All nibs scrape when stroked upwards and forwards, making them extremely interruptive and irritating. I started to wonder if the reason might lie elsewhere, for example in the feeder and their construction? How to deal with this?


edit:
The JoWo nib works well with the Asvine V126, is it the feeder that is to blame?

Maybe the ink dries obstructing the feed. So the problem could be in the cap which allows air to enter and ink to evaporate.

May I suggest you check out a YouTube chanel for Doodlebud. He has a lot of tips and instructions for smoothing nibs, getting better ink flow and so on.
