Can the nib be easily changed out by the owner? I want to try a fine nib, but if I don't like it I'd like to swap it out with a normal.

The short answer is "yes". Unlike the Lamy pens where you just change out the metal nib itself, what you actually change out on the vanishing point is more of an assembly or module. I regularly swap "F" and "M" modules between my two pen bodies. You can purchase a new nib module (usually with ink converter) on Amazon, generally for about $55. These very easily just slip in and out.

The nib is part of the internal ink system so it's not directly attached to the pen, it is removable. The hole the nib extends from is larger than the nib itself so it should be possible to up a nib side but I haven't tried it, I'm happy with the fine point.

Yes but the nib is actually one part and includes the part where you put the cartridge in. I think I looked at them a while back and they aren't cheap so look at the pricing.

In the Vanishing Point, the nib and cartridge are attached. You just have to buy a size fine (which is "very" fine in Japanese pens I believe), and unscrew the pen and just replace the entire mechanism. If you look it up on google you will see. Great pen!

Nope. Only fine nib is with the silver version, which actually looks great and writes very well. But as Schwizzle said, the medium is finer then other mediums. Goulet Pens has a video on YT with the differences.

I believe mine is a fine nib, probably a 0.7mm, maybe even a 0.5mm. Since it's not specified and the seller is not Amazon, just click on their name and email them. What I received may not be what you receive. I do like the pen. I have received many compliments. I've used it daily for about 4 years.

Yes, or rather, it's an ambi pen; there are finger rests on both sides so the grip is the same. The nib writes smoothly from various angles and the ink flow is consistent. It will write well in the left hand. (enjoy)

Most come with a medium nib. However they usually have an option that you can buy a different nib of course it cost more.

Did you ever get a response about replacement tips/nibs? I'm facing the same question.

Hello, first of all my pens were garbage, none would write. I just threw them out. As far as I could tell the pen nibs were all the same. Hope you have better luck.

Yes, you can change the ink before it runs out. You will have to clean the nib first (this pen comes with a water cleaning kit). It's really simple.

I like to draw with it. The pen feels good in my hand. I rest my index finger alongside the clip. The nib has a little springiness to it. The line will be a little on the narrow side of whatever nib size you choose. The cartridge or cartridge converter does not hold a lot of ink. Keep that in mind, when choosing your nib size. if you are looking for a permanent ink, you could try Noodler's Black or any of the Bullet Proof / Eternal inks from Noodlers. Those inks are permanent to cellulose based products only. To reduce residue buildup, the fountain pen should be flushed regularly. Great fountain pen. I hope this has helped. I like to draw with it.

I'm sorry I've not changed the nib, therefore I'm not able to give you the correct answer. Although I did attempt to take the nib out today and was not able to move it. Perhaps I'm not doing it properly. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.

Yes, you can. The nib is an international size 6 I believe (double check that with the fine folks at Goulet Pen Co. if you want expert information). You won't need an entire nib/feed assembly, just the nib. I checked Amazon and didn't see any for sale, but you can find them available online. I have seen size 6 nibs available in everything from Extra Fine through 1.5 mm Italic nibs.

More F than M nib, I had to return mine, the cap clip got loose. I will go to eBay and pay $12 for the same model and ink converter.

I think the stylus I order all come with the regular nibs, which I find are too soft. I also find the firm nibs to be too hard. I would like something in-between.

We generally carry the medium nib. If you specify the nib by emailing us, we can try to acquire the specific nib for you from MontBlanc.
