Kakimori brass nib horrible writing (k.fe.derate.me)

I hope somebody can help. I received my Kakimori brass nib today and the experience is horrible. It wrote okayish for about 10 lines but stopped since then. The only way to make the ink flow is to keep it more then 45 degrees angled or pretty much flat.

I cleaned it with a toothbrush multiple times and dipped it in ink a lot. I colored two A5 pages to get the ink going but it didn't help.

Do you guys know something I can do to make this nib work normally? I assume it should be able to write in an angle the same as regular pens?
