New day Jinhao 75. Inked it with R&K Scabiosa, and it is instant love.

@faizalr it certainly does!

This is a Jinhao 992 week. So inexpensive...

@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

@paradoxmo yes! I had not used it much, but is very visible. Plus, the 15 mL bottle is cute.

@penfount shared with the wife, and a few jinhaos gifted here and there have been very well received. Now we are visited for ink refilling.

Anyone know anything about this pen, OSOA A016? it’s on Bobby’s ChinesePen store. Seems to have decent user reviews, but I’ve never heard of this thing

@paradoxmo I have one. A very good writer.

@penfount too much texture (as in carvings) in the pen body

This week's . No more mishaps with the X159

Is there a Jinhao 9013 now? (N°6 nib) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806635255225.html

If so, looks like a 9016 with more color options

This week I am carrying a large-ish Jinhao trifecta: 9019, X159 and 9016. The X159 leaked ink on the cap. The others did not. All kept mostly horizontal except when walking with them.

No stains, luckily, and no further X159 leakage.

@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

@paradoxmo I am enjoying it. I got three but have only inked one. Lovely pen. My hand prefers the slightly larger X159, but my eyes prefer the cleaner look of the 9016.

Does any of you have experience with Jinhao 82 and Shimmer inks? (speciffically Diamine Golden Sands) Good, bad, anything?

mostlycheap, to fountainpens
@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

The number for this week is 82

Anyone had the cartridge come loose in a Kaweco Sport? I've had it happen twice in the same pen and am wondering what I'm doing wrong or if it's the pen doing something wrong...

@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

@paradoxmo @jessekelber spring! Very good idea

What brand or model of pen do you think is a “best value buy”, “bang for your buck”, or “punches above its price point”?

@penfount Jinhao 80 and Hongdian M2.

mostlycheap,
@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

@paradoxmo the very same. Solid, instant writer, comfortable.

Today I found out that two in my bag dried up in three weeks-ish.

Jinhao 92
Mysterious Yiren

Majohn A2 ran out of ink. Innocent.

Not dried at all:

Jinhao X750
Jinhao 80
Kaweco perkeo
Jinhao 619
Hongdian M2 pocket

This is a Jinhao X350 week.

@paradoxmo we both love the pen (got 2). The plastic coating is nice to the touch and feels scratchable. If it were snap-on rather than screw cap it would be perfect

Jinhao 80 03 nib is more and more the carry around

My Kaweco Perkeo fine nip is very wet. I have a lot of nib creep to the extent that it is leaking into the cap and spilling out when I uncap. Does anyone have any tips on fixing this?

mostlycheap,
@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

@paradoxmo @LaurenJodi this should be pinned somewhere. Important information

of the day:
What pen have you tried recently that you didn’t expect to like, but were pleasantly surprised by?

mostlycheap,
@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

@penfount the Jinhao 100. I had read "meh" reviews, but the ones we got write very well.

mostlycheap, to random Spanish
@mostlycheap@penfount.social avatar

"the whole universe will help you" planets and stars printed on this apparently brandless retractable that arrived a couple days ago. Not inked yet. The presence of a cap suggests that the nib dries even though retracted.
