Just received my 4 pens. How do I tell the difference in nib size? They all look the same.

In short, I don't know how to tell. Unfortunately, and I forgot to add this in my review, there seems to be only one nib size. It is really difficult to tell either way, though. They all seemed like Western-style medium nibs when I tried them. Some of the pens write a little wetter or a little drier, but not too drastically.

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.

I believe it is the diameter of the pen tip. A 0.05 tip will be narrower and a 0.07 tip will be a thicker tip. :)

Most Jinhao pens use a #6 nib; Goulet Pens has a fine #6 nib. http://www.gouletpens.com/gpc-nib6-tt/p/GPC-Nib6-TT

Hi JoJo! The diameter of the pen is the same as the 5.2" pens, though the length is different. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Brian - All the ones that I have ordered so far have the ink matching the color of the pen. Liz

These are NOT a #6 nib. Other Jinhao pens DO use #6, but the Jinhao 250 pens use something smaller (maybe a #5? my Google-fu is weak, and my calipers are misplaced).That being said, the nib & feed are friction-fit and come out quite easily. If you can find a nib in the correct size for them, you can definitely replace it - I've done so on my other Jinhao pens that take a #6.

Sadly I don't have a ruler with me, but they are smaller than a normal pen you would use so they are a bit smallish. If you use normal size brushes then switch to these it will feel a bit off because it feel so tiny but you get used to the size.

That's weird... hasn't happened to mine yet. I've had for about 2 months now, with semi-regular use. The nib is still working well. I think a 3-pack of nibs is avail on Amazon and inexpensive.

The original was a medium nib, but I changed it to a fine nib. I think the fine nib does a better job. The medium spread the ink and the fine point produced a finer line.

It depend on the pen you have the refill one is thinner and the other is ticker, I had that problem before I did order the thinner one and my pen call for the thicker refill, I use this pens every day for my work since I do a lot of legal papers. Hope this help Oh my pen is the one with the removal cap

I believe this is a #6 size nib, which is widely available from a number of manufacturers, although the nibs often cost more than this pen. In any case, you can buy a Bulow replacement nib quite inexpensively from xfountainpens (dot) com. You can probably get advice from them on how to replace it, too.

Hey there, in the kit I bought, there are a .5mm, .7mm, and a 1mm sized nib. They write rather smooth, and I am new to learning calligraphy; however, I caution you, once I put the ink cartrage into the pen and capped it when I was finished writing, the ink dried up after a few days. I have yet to figure out why, but just something to be aware of.

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.

What do you mean? They all fit in the box that they came in, not sure what your question is, they are small, pen size. What size box are you putting them in?

I wish I knew. Maybe to help hold the new nibs in place? Also, what are the big black half-round disks for that are on top of the pen?
