How smoothly do they write? Love my Jinhao 51A pens.

To be fair, I have only inked half of them and I use them as guinea pigs for nib swaps. So I don't really know :D

I love a good nib swap. What nib sizes do they take?

Me too!! Standard 26mm #5.

They're pretty smooth writers out of the box. I used to hate Jinhao because all the pens I got had dud nibs, but they've improved vastly in QC. The five Jinhao 82s I got all wrote nicely when I inked them.
