I was wondering if a Jowo nib and feed would be compatible with a Conklin Duragraph pen? I have some really excellent nibs from www.fpnibs.com. Their zoom nib is great!

I'm going to say yes. Conklin indicates they have a #6 nib, but I'm not sure if the feed could fit the Conklin. A #6 nib will fit. I cant answer your question precisely. Perhaps Goulet who sell that brand. Thanks for that link though.

I do not think a Jowo nib unit is compatible with a Conklin Duragraph.....I have one and will double check. The nib itself is just friction fit so you can pull out and insert any #6 nib

The nib uit in my Bexley is for what I can see identical to the nib unit in my Duragraph. I THOUGHT that my Bexley unit is a Jowo unit. They are interchangeable. For sure the nibs can be changed out as wigwiper says. But I would venture even more on the side of they are possibly the same.

I had some serious ink flow (lack of same) in my new Duragraph. I tried the screw-in nib assembly from my Bexley Elegancia and it did not fit. I have read elsewhere that the Conklin Duragraph uses a Jowo screw-in nib assembly and had planned to replace the original with that. In the meantime, since I planned to replace the unit anyway and didn't mind if I damaged the nib itself, I resorted to brute force and removed the nib from the assembly. After cleaning the feed, I installed a #6 Goulet 1.1mm stub. It fit and works perfectly. For the time being, the Goulet nib will remain in the fountain pen.

I got my Duragraph and recieved the Bock nibs too. The pen is fine but I wanted to know how the Bock unite fits. So the Bock threads in the unite is shorter so it serews fits leaves the unite potruding to the out so when you close the clip the nib touchs tips. So I guess I'll end up having my nib FUDE or waverly . So I pulled out the nib from the original and tried the set of Bock + Feeder (Bock) It did not fit. Then next I tried original Conklin feeder+ Bock nib. It fits very easily and of course the Conklin nib is friction fit and easy to remove for cleaning. It writes well.
So it can be used with Bock No 6 . I am waiting for some Jowo / Limosine / Knox Nibs they also the same size 6 and guess can be use on the Duragraph nib unite
I finally ordered the Jowo unit and found that the screw in unit does not fit the Duragraph. Fortunately the Goulet nib works fine woth the Conklin feed. I'll stay with that configuration. Mybe one of my other pens can use the Jowo, or not.

I got my Jowo Cursive Italic custom ground, and it writes better in my Duragraph. I am very happy and all my offoerts of this nib pays well in to my writing. It is the best pen at last for this Nib as I have aready tried with few other pens in my lot.

I don't like broad nibs generally. So I tried with a medium nib and I like how it writes and the nib is fine medium size after gringing.
I am really happy with that linesize of a nib. I am not into much line variations as some others much concern about. I like Italic and fine nibs with some feed back on the papers.
So this nib really fit my new Duragraph and the stub nib came with that will be served on another pen soon.
