Jinhao 9019 (DADAO)- These Pens are getting BIG (Plus X159 comparisons) 

Great video. Amazing review. Well done!

I’m very happy with my Jinhao 9091. It’s a great pen for the money. Excellent video. I appreciate your effort. 👌👍

Great info. I ordered yesterday a 3 pack of these in demo colors with a M nib. Looking forward to getting them Tuesday. 🙏✅👍😊. I have the EF and F in the X159 so I can interchange but I do prefer M generally if B isn’t available.

Great affordable pen, great nib and very large converter. Great review.

Very good review. I have the transparent version and like it quite a bit. I absolutely agree with your suggestion for a Japanese Eyedropper version. For this pen's shape and size, that would be the ultimate filling system.

Nice review. I've got the black/gold version in M nib. Lookig to get the transparent in EF based on your review. Good tip: I've started to fill all my converter pens with a syringe so the small neck size on the Diamine 30ml bottles is never a problem. Also, no issues with not drawing up enough ink.

Thank you for this clear, helpful review. I have an EF clear demonstrator 9019 and I love it. So smooth and comfortable in my hand, with perfect ink flow with no tweaking needed. (You were right about the quality control nib inking by the manufacturer; when I did my usual pre-wash, a little blue ink came off.) I’ve loaded it with Platinum Carbon Black ink, something I would never do with a more expensive pen. I use this pen for both writing and drawing. I plan to get a couple more for other inks and nib sizes. I LOVE the massively oversized new converter. It basically makes this pen a piston filler. (A RU-vidr measured the capacity by weight and it was about 1.3 ml, more than any other converter.) I disagree about preferring making it into an eyedropper-type filler. That much ink would be heavy and the ink might not be in good shape by the time it finally was mostly used. This huge, gorgeous converter, held securely in the pen and screwing into the section, is all I need. I look forward to seeing this newly designed converter introduced in future Jinhao pens. It’s a great answer to the universal wish for greater ink capacity. Also, an oversized converter should be easier to maintain than a piston-filler: just get another converter if issues arise. I highly recommend this pen unless you have small hands. I didn’t expect it to be so comfortable but it’s been addictive. (My hands are not big in width but I have long fingers.) I hope a compatible #8 EF flex nib becomes available. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Excellent review

Great pen, I love using it and I agree with the quality of the nib and the obvious upgrade to their QC. About body-filling, I have not tried, but the issue here is not the metal threads of the body screw, but the thin plastic of the body, I'm certain my hand will heat up the air way too quickly and the pen will keep sneezing ink while writing. As for the size, it's almost a perfect match to the Namiki Yukari Royal, the Emperor is way way thicker....

Thanks again for your wonderful videos! I know these are good pens, but they are comically large pens. I can't see myself having one of these popping out of my shirt pocket 😂 People would be teasing me! Hi! I see that you're happy to see me lol

I always like the cigar/torpedo shaped pens, already own two of these in black and deep blue solid versions... i have also ordered "Beena Antic" fountain pen as well recently for its great review and value for money...

X159 itself was a little too big for my hands, so I didn’t bother re-inking it.. But I’ll still buy this one - the gorgeous demonstrator model - just to add to my collection !

Mine works great and doesn’t dry out with a few days no use. I love the ink capacity.

It is a great pen but I had a problem with the nib and feed drying quickly. I think it may the ink but I am not sure. I also like the lengthened turning knob on the converter. It fits into the end of the barrel which holds it in place. No rattling. This is a well thought out design. The quality is excellent.

I didn't see the square on the feed and collar. I did exchange nibs with the X159 as I was not happy with the original nib (needs smoothing). I wonder if that would affect the dryness. In any case did you notice the X159 nibs are marked X159 on the bottom?

This is my favorites pen. Its CHUNKY nd i LOVE IT. for referance ive got larger than average hands xxl-xxxl glove size so finding a pen that is affordable yet feels like a real useful item, instead of a like a toy ment for a child is nice.

Where could I find a flex nib to fit this 9019? Thank you!

Regarding the pen not writing well, I had the same problem. I realized that it was because the nib and feed were not aligned properly. I just removed the nib and feed unit, and aligned them. Once I did that, the pen wrote beautifully. Mine is the clear demonstrator and it is beautiful.

Thank you your review and showing how to disassemble and reassemble the pen. Clip is more similar to the Sailor pen.

Mine required quite a bit of fine tuning the nib and the feed. The nib is a stiff nail despite its larger #8 size. The plastic feels like... cheap plastic, unlike those better quality, thicker plastics with a tad of resilience and plasticity to prevent sudden cracking once you accidentaly drop it... but you get what you pay, so you have to manage the expectation here. Despite the cartridge being a screw type, with motion, it hits the barrel producing a rattling sound. As a writing experience, it takes a while to get used to it because of its larger girth, it feels like writing with a child's big, fat crayon.

Does Jinhao have any #8 nibs in piston fillers or vacuum fillers?

Some reviews have said that the clip is very stiff and that if you use it, you will cause cracks to form.

The clip in mine is so stiff that I'm afraid it breaks one of these days. Unusable. The tines in my unit needed some tuning for the nib to write properly. It also took me some time to make this beast not to hard start and to pass with flying colors the quick writing test. Greetings from Europe.

My converter rattles when the body is securely fastened to the section. Such an annoyance.

I got mine today. It's just trash 😢. Maybe I got a faulty units. The ink flow is extremely low. It's M nib but still no wetness at all. I was really looking forward to this pen. Mine doesn't write even close to how your M nib wrote

Why would you want to eyedropper a pen which holds a huge amount of ink like the big Daddyo does

While it has seen some minor enhancements, this pen remains quite feeble. If you find yourself without any other option, you might manage to use it for writing…

Thanks for showing the hole at the bottom of the barrel...makes it ugly to me....most reviewers never mention this...and I would not have bought this...due to the hole in the barrel at the end.

It is a decent pen, nothing more nothing less. Tbh, I would suggest to save the money and buy a better pen.
