I have been looking for a better nib for my carry pen. I asked around about more flexible nibs a few weeks ago, but they all seemed out of my price range. I ended up getting a fine heritage nib from Exotics that I installed a couple days ago. Having used it for a while, I am very impressed.
At first, it would not stay in the housing. The IPG I took out was about 1/32" longer than the new one, but that did not turn out to be the problem. When I laid the two nibs side by side, I discovered that the IPG had a slightly larger radius on the feed end. I flattened that end of the Heritage nib ever so slightly to make them match and it went in and stayed perfectly.
It holds a nice smooth line, has good thickness control, and writes very smoothly. I don't know that I would sell another FP without an upgraded nib. It was definitely worth the price and I would recommend them to anyone with reservations about the stock nibs.
