Having now tried the pen with many inks, I found this pen to have a rather thick ink spread for a fine nib. Ordered an Edison #5 nib online in Extra fine. It worked very nicely, except I found the Edison nib to be rather 'stiff' and a bit unresponsive as well as not having the same nice flow that the original Levenger nib had. I guess I will have to learn to live with a thicker size on my letters. For simply writing and taking quick notes it is really nice, but for something I have to go back and read several times, I prefer my Waterman for now.

F00lw0lfagreed, levenger nibs run "big" compared to other mfgs. FYI, I swapped in a #5 Franklin Christoph SIG nib into my LTech without any issue at all. Excuse the terrible handwriting!

monoclineYeah, I tried a Faber & Castel Basic nib it works, it just doesn't feel right. In the end I tried some hacks some people had posted about securing the cap and adding tape and stuff to get a better seal. No luck for me, the pen isn't having a good flow from start which means it takes some time to get a good ink flow. I might give it a try later on, but for now, it has become my second pen to be rinsed, cleaned and stored away.

F00lw0lfI didn't replace just the nib; i replaced the whole nib/feed unit. Just screwed it in, reattached the converter, and off I went, no issues at all. Not sure if linking to other mfg's/stores is cool on massdrop so I won't but if you go to Franklin Christoph and nibs you can see what they carry if you want to break it back out again.

monoclineYeah, so did I, I don't know what that thing is called except nib since they are under that category on web shops online. I have tried the feeder and nib section and just switched. Still not really loving this pen. If there had been a better market around where I live I would have sold it to someone that appreciated it more. Now it lies in its box un-inked.

R0SEHi, sure if we can make a transaction sure. Do you want me to send you some pictures of it and the case so you can see the condition?
