I just got a new Conklin Duaragraph with a stub nib. Now the is my first stub nib, and I'm relatively new to fountain pens.
I love this pen in terms of looks, color, weight. And I love the line it lays down. The problem is it doesn't lay it consistently. It keeps skipping, not writing for short periods of my script. The angle I hold it at seems to affect it somewhat, but I haven't found a sweet spot to hold it that makes it write perfectly.
My question is, are all stub nibs tempermental, and I've simply not mastered the right angle? Or did I get a bum pen that I need to find a way to replace?
