A cheap and effective flex pen option: #6 Ultraflex nib paired with a JInhao X750 fountain pen
Note: in the video I mistakenly call the pen an X450. Sorry for the confusion (though this nib will work in that pen as well). In this video I'll show you one of the cheapest flexible fountain pen options: a #6 ultra flex nib in a Xinhao X750. This entire set up costs around 20 bucks, and makes for a very decent, reliable pen for drawing. The nib is from a company called Fountain Pen Revolution (fprevolutionusa.com). They specialize in selling pens from India, but also sell accessories and ink. They call this nib an ultra-flex, because it has additional cutouts that add to its flexibility. I've had good luck putting this nib into my Noodlers Ahab and Conrad, but an even cheaper (and surprisingly effective) option is to insert it into a Jinhao X750. This is a very sturdy, versatile pen that accept a wide variety of #6 nibs. Yes, there are two steps involved, and some tinkering. But for around 20 bucks, this is just about the cheapest way to attain a flexible fountain pen that actually works.
