calamus (January 22nd, 2019)
Kaweco make a tiny one for the Sport. I second the warning against messing with the feed: they're actually very carefully designed - or should be. Wider channels can mean that capillary effect will no longer stop ink from flowing under the influence of gravity. That's not to say that the feed can't be widened at all, but doing so risks destroying it. Can you buy spares?

No idea where I could find spares. Thanks for the info about the Kaweco squeeze converter. I may give that a try. I'll look around for a larger one first. I guess I'll try a different ink first, then a squeeze converter. Of course, the converter would probably/maybe cost less, but it's always fun to try new inks. And even if it doesn't solve the railroading problem, I can always use it in my other pens.

Actually, given this is a Jinhao, you could just order a pen from China. But you can often find packs of feeds and or nibs for Jinhaos on ebay.
I don't think this is a standard Jinhao feed. It's longer and narrower than others I've seen; it appears to have been made especially to fit a G-nib.

This sounds like the sort of pen my girlfriend might like for drawing so I did some research -

..Platinum Carbon ink works well
..The simple answer to rail roading is too slow down so the feed can keep up
I’ve found some GvFC inks to be better suited to flexing.
