Eversharp Skyline - Observation and Question

[NickJC]

Hi All - 

 

Eversharp Skyline Standard and Demi - question and observation:

 

Observation (anecdotal?) - Upon re-saccing the pen and install a new teflon breather tube.  The tube I cut to almost the fell length of the sac.  When it was that long, it would not fill more than a few milliliters. No matter how many lever pulls and waiting between each - But,  when I re-cut the tube to half the length of the sac, or just a tad shorter - Up to seven good pulls and wait a few between each one up to five secs, the pen will fill to about .50-.75ML - I measured this in a sample vile

 

Question - the demi that I picked up for my daughter has a super flexi nib and she has a heavier hand - and it is not conducive to her writing style - I would be looking for a medium/firm nib for it.  I have found a seller that has some nibs, but different sized in MM - to that end what size nib in MM would a demi use?

 

Thanks for any help - !

  Your best bet is to use the site specific search function on your preferred search engine. Using this site’s search function can sometimes cause a to go off line.

Yeah, what Penguincollector said.  The search function on here has NEVER really worked all that well, and if I'm looking for a specific thread I often have to go scroll through recent-ish posts on the relevant sub-forum  to find it.
