AsvineJinhao 9019 Fountain Pen, Dadao Series #8 Medium Nib, Light Blue Transparent Acrylic Barrel with Golden Clip Big Size Writing Pen

This is an outstanding one to add to my collection. The pen is well made and offers unbeatable value for money.It looks stunning and is made of a nice material. It comes in a nice range of colours. It offered a really good writing experience, it provides a good flow and does provide a nice wet line.The size of the pen makes it easy grip and write with for long periods of time.The provided converter offer and amazing ink capacity. My only concern is if the converter were to break, finding a replacement without getting new pen may well be difficult.Overall an outstanding additional to my pen collection.

Writes smoothly, a joy to use. Easy to fill. I love a chubby pen and this is very comfortable to use.

For the price the quality is very good. Have found the extra fine nib to write smoothly and no problems after a couple of weeks regular use.

The Jinhao 9019 fountain pen is outstandingly wide barrelled, and you will either love or hate this design choice. For me, I absolutely love the fatness of the barrel and grip, it really stands out in width in comparison with many other pens, and I find it so comfortable to hold and write with, allowing broad large script strokes as well as the smaller writing styles. I have two 9019s with EF nibs and it has to be said they are scratchy on the paper I have tried (100gsm), although they give a regular very fine line, with constant ink flow in my versions. I also have a 9019 with an F nib and it writes much more smoothly that the EF, however the line width is also significantly wider than the EF, so I am torn between the EF and F in the 9019 models. My writing preference is for a finer line and smaller hand writing styles, so I would naturally prefer the EF nib, but the smoothness of the F nib is nicer to write with. For the price of these pens I think it is a no brainer to get one or two to try them out, particularly if you like wide barrelled large pens. This model resembles one of the Montblanc pens used when people sign important documents on tv, which will undoubtably provide far greater quality, however it also costs around 100 times more than the Jinhao 9019. Will the Mont Blanc provide 100 times better writing experience, personally I don't think so. I love the feeling of handwriting with a fountain pen using nice inks on good quality paper, it makes writing a real pleasure and encourages me to do more. I will still look around for other pens to try, particularly ones that offer good value for money. I find that if you do a lot of internet research there are a number of fairly low cost pens that provide good quality and an enjoyable writing experience, which for me is the most important thing.Addendum: Be aware that the Jinhao 9019 pens may take a while to start writing correctly, I initially thought two of mine were broken and was thinking of returning them. However I persevered, and soaked the nibs in water for a bit, and then started scribbling on a page for quite a while. Eventually both pens started writing with a good ink deposit and I breathed a sigh of relief!

This pen is chunky!! It is amazing for £9.99. I love Jinhao fountain pens.

What drew me to this pen was the price and the reviews I've read on the internet about how smooth the nib is and how much ink it can hold, especially for a pen in this price category.After using it for a week, the pen has some issues, namely hard starts and inconsistent ink flow, every time I went to write with the pen after leaving it for a couple of hours, the nib would have no ink and would require me to unscrew the ink and twist the convertor so the ink flows to the nib and after flowing to the nib, it wouldn't write consistently it would skip and scratch the paper. Trying out different inks (both wet and dry) proved the same result, dry inks made the issues worse and wet inks didn't help much.When the pen does decide to write consistently which wasn't often, it was a smooth and nice writing experience for the price. I believe I've received a lemon and wasn't worth the time fixing it so I returned the pen.Overall, the pen that you receive is based on luck, you'll either get a pen that writes really smooth without issues or a pen that has inconsistent ink flow, hard-starting, and scratchiness. Just be wary.

It writes. I'm used to metal bodied pens. Unsure about the quality of the inners. Ink flow issues. Think I'll return to metal pens.

I love fountain pens and have had Jinhaos x450, x750 and the monster 159s. I recently came across the 9019 and after watching many reviews I ordered one. Then two and now I have 5 (because why not?) The heartbeat nib if you can get one is just gorgeous!This pen is huge. But very light so doesn't cause hand fatigue after hours of writing (and I DO). The ink capacity is 2.5x ish that of a normal convertor and the feed is tunes to ensure good flow (you might have to faff a tiny bit with the nib alignment if it's running on the dry side).I've inked with with Noodlers, Diamine Shimmer. Pilot Iroshzuku and my beloved JH 1670 Emerald of Chivor. None of them have been problematic. The nibs are smooth and delicious (I ordered M). Rinse them through BEFORE first fill because they're clearly being tested and tuned at source (hooray!)You should see what it does on Tomoe (original) and Rhodia! 😍 Highly recommended.
