Hi all a couple of years ago I bought a Delta Dolce Vita Federico Oversize and love everything about it (except one point see below) especially the orange glow of the barrel however after the first few months of using it periodically I got fed-up with the pen and it is sitting in the glass box it came with on display in my cabinet ever since. I cannot take the C.Converter of this pen as this pen drains/drinks ink like a waterfall, i often have to refill every week or less and what made it worst the pen cannot be converted into an eyedropper (well "technically" it can but too many places to seal up) but the nib is a beautiful 14k gold M and butter smooth. So I am thinking of fitting this delta #8 nib on to any affordable pen that has high or decent ink capacity and use it (can be any filling type and preferably a demonstrator). Any pen suggestion you know of that fits a #8 delta nib besides a custom made/turned pen ? My last resort is to sell the pen and let it find a new home since I rarely use it.

Hi everyone I'm new the lingo of nibs I've always loved fountain pens since secondary school bk in early 2000 with my massive Lamy I no longer have. My partner surprised me with a Twisbi 580AL purple in medium as this pen means alot to me I bought a Jinhao x750 to learn more on maintenance, uses ect I've watched many videos now saying the x750 can take a #6 nib? So my question or questions are How can you tell if its a #6 from #5? (I'm used to just typing fine extra fine ect) And are there any videos or websites or something I've missed that can help me learn this? And do custom pens follow this # sizing? I think it's about mm but not sure and I don't have callipers either so are the tells or tricks? Sorry for all the questions and if they've been asked before I'm from the UK just incase you need that for any advice you can post Thank you so much everyone
