Info needed - Delike Alpha Daimo nib compatibility

[Eddie Southgate]

Looking at buying one or more of the Delike Alpha Daimo pens and was wondering if anyone has tried nibs in them other than those made specifically for these pens . Wondering specifically about the Jihano nibs as they have some interesting stubs and Italics available at very cheap prices . Also what size nib do they use and what is the largest size that can be used without creating any issues . Any info appreciated as I know absolutely nothing about Asian pens .

My Delike Alpha uses what I think is a #5 nib so Jinhao #5 nibs should work but let me confirm first. I'm going to do a nib swap...

The nib off of a Jinhao 992 swaps right in. I tried just unscrewing the nib unit but that did not work. You have to pull the nib from the housing. The feeds look identical but they're not. The Jinhao feed would not go into the Delike for some reason.
