Jinhao 9016 Fountain Pen Review

[@paulmchugh1430]

It is a great alternative to the 9019 of you have smaller hands. Sometimes my hand prefers different widths of the pen. The biggest benefit is that it has the large converter similar to the 9019. I didn't realize that it is a bit thinner. The ink capacity is a tiny bit smaller. I also like it has flanges on the interior of the barrel to support the converter. Great review.

[@chrisrap52]

Thanks, it is all about the pen.

[@johnpetrucellijr.8167]

Chris, the Jinhao 9016 is also available with a #6 heartbeat nib. Just recently purchased one on eBay .

[@chrisrap52]

Good get. I didn't see that when I ordered mine.

[@princeajaz9167]

I have it with heartbeat nib, not impressed at all. Although the #8 heartbeat nib of 9019 is awesome.

[@jimkrieger776]

Excellent review, with very helpful observations and comparisons with similar Jinhao models.

[@chrisrap52]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jls3220]

Hi Chris again a most excellent review. Very thorough.

[@chrisrap52]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@raytheron]

My orange-red 9016 arrived at the same time as my 9019 Heartbeat. Love both of them, they're excellent pens!

[@chrisrap52]

Great pens & nibs, enjoy!

[@neilpiper9889]

I put a number 6 Bock 1.1 stub on my Jinhao 9016 and it's my favourite every day pen now.

[@chrisrap52]

That Bock nib is great. I enjoy mine. Thanks for watching.

[@paulmchugh1430]

I received the 9013. I converted it to an eyedropper. It holds about 3.75ml of ink! It should last me throughout the summer and a bit longer. I know it has metal threads but what the heck, why not try it? The converter still rattles using the standard Jinhao converter and it doesn't have the ink capacity of the 9016 or the 9019. The price of the pen is extremely reasonable. Nice in the hand. The Heartbeat nib is very wet but now I have enough ink to go with this wet writer. Did you order one?

[@chrisrap52]

Yes, but delivery is delayed.

[@San-fr7ft]

Great video. You have wet writing in most of your videos, but my Jinhao x850 and 100 centennial skip at certain angles. I use cartridges as less messy - is it the ink or is the pen that I need to change? Any advice would be much appreciated (I want to stay with Chinese pens for accessibility). Thanks

[@chrisrap52]

I don't use cartridges. I have had flow issues with them. No way to prime the feed. I suggest using a converter. If that is too messy, fill converter with a syringe.

[@viv_2489]

Have ordered this pen today in black colour with medium nib.. hope it will be my favourite than 9019 due to its compact size and unique heartbeat nib..

[@chrisrap52]

Black with Heartbeat nib, great combo!

[@eileengoldenberg270]

Does the new #8 nib assembly fit into the 159 model?

[@chrisrap52]

No, 159 is a No. 6 nib.

[@ichirofakename]

thanks for the show.

[@chrisrap52]

Any time!

[@santauxia]

I love mine, great value. Im wondering when they will release converters and cartridges for this pen and the 9019. I have not find them just yet.

[@manoloyloles]

My 9016s write like a dream... I have this one and the transparent brown. What is Jinhao doing with their nibs? I have much (I mean "much") more expensive pens that do not give me this writing experience AT ALL.

[@chrisrap52]

They are listening to us!

[@Supra_Mare_Cultro_Bloke]

Your 9019 converter was GEN 1. Now gen 2 is with crystal end.

[@chrisrap52]

Yes, see my video or recent 9019 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2S1emiAr82ems0

[@Supra_Mare_Cultro_Bloke]

@@chrisrap52 yes, i also got the 9019 heart beat in trans olive. marvellous pen, but excessive untunable ink flow

[@chrisrap52]

I enjoy a generous ink flow, shows off many ink features, but that is not for everybody. I can also enjoy a drier fine nib, especially on some paper. Great we have many choices.

[@levon9]

Agree on the turns to uncap. Too bad - way too many turns for me. Anything more than two eliminates it from consideration as I take a lot of short quick notes. The less the better.

[@remyvegamedia]

I just ordered one of these and got a deal for $3 after shipping haha. Got the deal for the Jinhao 82 for $7. Unfortunately my first real fountain pen purchase, a TWSBI Eco, just cracked after one month. I honestly felt like the Eco felt much cheaper than a $35 pen from the second I held it. These inexpensive Jinhao, Asvine, Majohn, etc. pens are worth trying, in my opinion.

[@chrisrap52]

My ECO is 4+ years old & OK. My 580 cracked after a few months, TWSBI sent me replacement parts. I agree recent Chinese pens are excellent!

Заправить ручку, обмакнув в банку с чернилами и провести тест письма - это не корректно. Так можно и гвоздём писать. Заправить конвертер и вставить в ручку - вот тут проявляются все "прелести" китайских ручек - подача чернил, толщина линий. Ручки JinHao 100 серии, 9016 серии с пером №6 пишут отвратительно, за редким исключением. Не подходят для продолжительного письма - то чернила резко пересыхают, то подача резко увеличивается. Замена фидера, пера, шлифовки и полировки с раздвиганием и сведением пера и прочие танцы с бубном проблему не решают. Либо ручка пишет "из коробки" либо не пишет - мистика да и только (Moonman 600). Но, это касается "позолоченных" перьев. Простые стальные перья, по не понятным причинам, пишут более-менее приемлемо. Причина в "позолоте"? - возможно. По сути мы имеем различные по цвету и дизайну корпуса, а главное - перо-фидер-конвертор в этих ручках на посредственном уровне... на 3- Серия 9019 с пером № 8 - качество скоростного письма приемлемо - это непрерывно 5-7 листов с обеих сторон формата А4. Но, опять же зависит от пера и, как это ни странно, "от продавца" на Али Экспрессе.

[@chrisrap52]

Я согласен. Спасибо за просмотр и вклад.

[@oldladywithacamera]

Thank you!

[@chrisrap52]

You're welcome! I aim to please.

[@tayterlik]

Three turns to uncap... Plus, Medium is most probably not 0,07 mm but 0,7 😀. Unless Chinese nibs have undergone a serious change...

[@chrisrap52]

My error. An extra 0.
