    The Torque Filler is an interesting design choice, and I've never used a needle point nib. I checked retailers in the U.S. and the pen sells for $65. Your review is the first I've watched on this pen, but I may do some further research on it. I'm intrigued. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. ( Edit: How disappointing! You expected a result that was not forthcoming. Although the nib seems to write well. I was shocked by the response you got from Endless. It does seem that they were ignorant of the specification for the nib and are embarrassed to be called out. ) In the final tally, it seems if you want a needle point, select an already owned pen that you enjoy, and have the nib ground to a needle point. Then you have the best of both worlds.

      Agree the Torque Filler could be an interesting design choice (with few things to improve), unhappily it is completely hidden by the rest of the pen which is not at the expected level for the price (by far). In front, my Lamy Studio I've paid almost half the price is a rolls royce 🙂.
      Happily I've not been upset by the nib problem and I just wanted to report the problem to the community: I had some big doubts when I ordered the pen (needle is not the easiest grind and usually nibmeister requests about 80 euros for this) but the low quality vs price has been the "real surprise". Yet no problem, I like this kind of challenge: I've already tried to grind a needle, and I failed: then I will train more and no reason I don't find the proper way to do it at the end (but after my holidays 🏖).
      Thank you for your comment 👍
      (edit I've just had a look to see if it exists some comments about this pen and: th-cam.com/video/WKyO3VR1mp0/w-d-xo.html mainly read the comments below the video. Appart the guy thinks it could be a jowo nib, it can't be because Jowo doesn't use this feed and is not compatible. I can't be sure but my feel after the Endless answer is it could be an "ambitious nib". This company based in india take orders from pen makers and does "special" grind on request).

      @@UneFontaineDePlumes I just watched a video by Figboot On Pens. He ordered the pen with an Architect nib and he was satisfied with it. I don't think I'll be getting it, though. That's why reviews are such a good thing.
