I'm fairly new to the hobby (4 months) and have learned a few things about nib adjustments by using a couple of cheap Chinese pens. I have replaced nibs a few times on Jinhao pens and have pulled nibs/feeds for cleaning a few times. The first time a nib/feed is pulled from the section it is usually pretty hard to pull it out. But the second or third time, it's noticeably easier.
Here's my question: Is there a generally accepted limit to how many times a nib/feed may be pulled from a pen? I'm guessing that at some point there could be enough wear on the parts that a leak could develop and/or the nib/feed just may not be held securely within the section.
Any comments will be appreciated.
