- Have you ever wondered whether it's possible to do flourishing with a fountain pen? Here's a tutorial / show and tell on how to replace a Jinhao x750 fountain pen nib with a Zebra G! Then I write some Spencerian and do some offhand flourishing to test out how it is.

This tutorial was perfect! Thank you! With a good understanding of metallurgy I'm going to experiment a bit with the handful of cheapo pens I've got.
For everyone trying this! You have to flatten the curve of the zebra g tip before you try to put it back. Mine got stuck, because I didn't and I had to break the tip to get the feed out again.
Thanks for the tip Simon! That definitely makes it easier to insert.
I'm glad I bought the "Five Pack" of X750's. I'll try that with another conversion and then compare results. Five pretty solid fountain pens for UNDER $20...I'm not going to waste my breath complaining about skipping the flattening step. :D
Hi Simon. What do you mean? I'm having problems to let the ink flow to the nib and I don't know if what you say is related to this issue. I have also tried to remove the nib and it's also impossible.
Hola. Lo que dices es cierto. Pero Yo opté por pulir el feed y profundizar el canal, tal y como recomiendan en este video, y me funcionó perfectamente. th-cam.com/video/sS5G7sIOKF0/w-d-xo.html . pero esto fue después de dañar un feed y al menos 5 Zebra G nibs.
@@NoVegan It may very well be related. The nib's cross curvature has to match the feed's curvature. If it doesn't, you may get a gap between the feed'channel and the nib's slith.
Haha, I wish the original nib and feed came out as easily as you show in your video....
I am completely amazed at how thin of a line you can get with that Zebra-G nib!!!
The line variation is AMAZING!!!
Will be buying supplies to do THIS next week, THANK YOU!!!
The flame is to prep the nib. They come with an oily coating to avoid rusting in storage and transport. So in order for the ink to flow correctly on them they have to be prepped. A flame is an easy way to remove that oil. This is a great idea that I can't wait to try.
I reaaly love your work! I cant wait to do that! Thank you and all the best!
thank you so much!
I love you hold, your spencerian and also your voice!!
Great content!
Such a talented artist. Thank you for sharing
Great tutorial. What stub nib (1.1) should I pick to go with a Jinhao x750 fountain pen ? I would like 3 more cheap pens to do all the colors I want with a decent quality. Thank you
Girl You Got A E.F hand ...respect for your ART.
Beautiful Oryx.
How would you compare this pen setup vs Noodler's Ahab flex pen?
Just purchased one of these pens and 3 of the zebra g tips :)
Great diy vid I hadn't thought of it previously. I'm going to it! BTW, the simplicity of a DIY is as easy as changing out a nib. This is how we learn. Keep pressing forward. I love it and thank you. Semper Fi
Thanks Robert, I think so too! I will indeed keep pressing forward.
Does the jinhao's cartridge ink flows well with the zebra G nib???
The flow on yours is AMAZING. I can't get it to work so well for me. Might you be able to suggest some factors that might help with ease flow? Right now I'm practicing on a Kanso Noto notebook (Tamoe River paper) and that seems to help greatly. I'm using a noodler's brand ink, maybe that's a factor.
Might you suggest some inks that might make the experience a little more "flow friendly?"
Awesome! Thank you
Love it!
Maybe they've changed the size of the feed or something in the Jinhao pens since you made this, but I bought a set of five x750 pens to do this, and there's no way I'd have been able to just simply replace one nib with the other without seriously re-shaping the Zebra G nib. I have to use pliers or something similar to flatten it out, or the nib will get stuck about 5mm in.
Anyway, beautiful writing, and a very nice video to watch. Thanks!
Thank you so much for that!
Hello,
Do you think a Leonardt EF principal nib would fit in this fountain pen?
Effing AWESOME, SUPER AWESOME video--!!!!!!
Wow so beautiful
Hey never mind what they call that pen part! This vid was well done, I enjoyed it and I've subscribed to your channel
very useful thanks!!!
Mine do. I use a piece of leather since they can be/are a little slippery.
Twist back and forth a little, too. That helps break the sticksion.😷👍
What ink you are using here please? Beautiful drawing and great video Tiny :) . Thank you again for sharing your great skills.
It's mentioned at the beginning of the video... 0'24...
So beautiful...
Where i can get that pen
Hi 👋🏻 any tips to put all the system back inside please my nib don’t want to get inside only the black part does 😓
Amazing!!!✨👏✨👏
Sweet!!
I love the background song
Great!!
My jinhao 159 its gold plated i played for 20 dollars i bought 2 well its nib can be pulled out but for the 20 dollar version tht has gold the nib cannot be taken out and i just bought a 12 dollar one and the nib can be taken out
May I ask, what ink do you use. I need to know pls
Where did you get the Number 6 G Nib?
Every other video I've seen putting a G nib on a pen that uses a Number 6 nub and feed (like the Jinhao x450, X750, 159, and a few others) required spreading the G nib's sides to fit the larger diameter feed.
You didn't have to do that, so have to have a size 6 G nib.
It's the feed, not the buffer.
Oops, a verbal typo on my part. Thanks for the clarification. :)
notconvincedgranny
... And that's also the biggest problem with this arrangement, which have tried myself also using the 750, and it's just that the quality control at Jinhao is not very good and sometimes you get a feed that works really well, like yours seems to, and sometimes you get a feed that sputters and chokes and can't keep up with the flow that a nice soft crowquill point requires.
And then of course in my case it's that I just don't like the zebra G nib. I prefer a hunt 102 but I can't put that on any fountain pen so I tried this, and I will try a few Gillot's and other Hunt/Speedball points that are only half round and see if I can find another number 6 that fits better.
And of course, the converter on the gin how is nothing compared to finding a pen that you can do this with which you can eye dropper fill... If only the nib on the $20 Noodlers Ahab were as fine and flexible as the Zebra...
@@sdovas Thanks for the insight! A really valuable comment.
Came to say the same thing lol
This is going to happen.
Thank you.

Hey I have been try to do this, and it has not worked very well. I never heated the nib though. What will that do? Pls respond asap . Thanks
Tiny Oryx so if rust-prevented coating has been removed, is it make zebra g pen has a low resist of durability? And how long it will be last?
❤You sold me with a girl with dirty hands! No pretentiousness here, a beginner 71 yr old man who has been in Building and Trades my entire life, that never had the desire to have decent penmanship. I like your beautiful handwriting skills. I just ordered these items for practice from Amazon & subscribed!
Hmmm...got the parts, did the mod, didn't work out for me.
Super sharp tip dug into the page and got stuck then flicked ink EVERYWHERE.
After cleaning up the mess, changed the pen back to normal.
I'll just get a proper flex-nib pen like the Ahab...
Does the cap fit with the longer zebra G nib?
There’s Also the School-G Manga Pen it’s like a fountain pen
Fountain pens are annexing and the best writing devices ever made that is a fact
WOW feather
What was the part with the flame ?
If you're using a Zebra G, it has a coating from the manufacturer to prevent it from rusting, so you should briefly pass your nib through a flame (like from a match) to remove the coating. You can also brush the nib with a toothbrush and toothpaste to remove the coating.
The only problem, imo, with the 'Zebra G' calligraphyc nib is that scratch a little.
Why the flame?
Love your calligraphy so much! I did the same w my Jinhao. I found I needed to squish the roundness of the nib a bit to get it to fit. It seems to work well with my Noodler's Konrad too. You can heat set the feed (for a snug fit to the nib) and deepen the channel for increased flow.
Ah, are you using a Zebra G or another G nib? For me the Zebra fits perfectly but the Nikko is a slightly different shape so needs squishing. I wasn't familiar with heat setting the feed - but I just watched the Goulet Pens video on it - super interesting.
Yes the Zebra G. I got it good and stuck first time I put it in my Jinhao. I just got some Titanium G nobs to try and really like those! They feel a bit softer and more fluid.
Oh nice! I haven't tried the Titanium nibs yet - can't wait to.
The heat setting is suppose to work on ebonite feed (because of the characteristics of ebonite). But, I've tried to heat set my Jinhao X750 and the gap in between the nib and the feed, was really minimized.
The Goulet Pen Co. videos are all very educational and helpful for fountain pen knowledge, ink and paper.
The Order of the Black Chrysanthemum.
Don't put the nib to the flame! It just doesn't do nothing, except that the nib will erode faster with some types of inks. It's completely unnecessary and senseless.
What's with the haters in the comments. I sense some real fucking snobbery in the fountain pen/calligraphy community. And I've just been watching TH-cam videos on the subject for ONE DAY. Your writing is beautiful. I am an artist and have been wanting to try this. Those shipping times on though.. 60 days!!! 😯😯😯 I wish there was a way to find the nibs and pen in my area
Nice tutorial, wold be even nicer without the annoying syncopated drum beat added!
I really HATE how you used that pen!! Flourishing like the wind blows &there's nothing to it. BOLOGNA!! I don't like you. (It's actually gorgeous& i'm jealous) BUT I DON'T LIKE YOU 😂
it's zebra not zibra.
:)
In retrospect I feel like a bit of an ass of saying that.
I really like you the video.
Yes, you ass! Leave the lady alone. With a voice like that she can say anything she likes!
diy? do you mean Buy It Yourself? you changed the tip, this is no diy.
+PROS THHHHANK YOU
I think the POINT is to show how a fountain pen can be converted to use a flex pen point. Most fountain pens designed with a flex point either don't flex much (Noodler's Ahab) OR are VERY expensive. Why the testy criticism?
