There is quite a lot of ink on the nib. Is that how it should be? Good video, again. 👍

Thanks for video, does the pen original M nib, it seems that it has some line variations and I really liked it. Another question, does it skip or hard start if you don't use it for several days. I have Parker IM and it skips sometimes and has hard start if I don't use it for 2-3 days. If the nib is original factory made and doesn't have skipping and hard start, this one will be my nex pen.

Only love for the Vector. Use one since 14 years. Never let me down. ❤

Thanks for the video!! My first two fountain pens in high school in the 80s were a Safari in Charcoal and a Parker Vector in stainless steel. Both lost due to my many moves. This year I just repurchased the Vector but found it on eBay from India in a Fine nib. As you said, Parker does have some quality issues with these pens. There was some play between the barrel and a plastic sleeve that lined the barrel that you could feel when you wrote. The nib was scratchy not due to the fine point but it seemed to have a burr. I was able to shim a piece of paper between the sleeve and barrel and spent a couple of hours tubing the nib and it now writes nicely!! No regrets though. For nostalgia, I love having this pen in my collection and I do like the pen. It’s very simple and clean. I also only paid around $10 ($14 CDN) and it came in a blister pack with a Parker key chain and gift box.

I love Parker IM Vibrant Rings. I have 2. Excellent writers. Greetings from Belgium.

love Parker vector

Nice video. I assume the Vector is the model that came after the classic Parker 25? (I heard that the designer Kenneth Grange died a few months ago.)

I remember buying this as a kid. I also bought the Sheaffer No-Nonsense fountain pens. These could be purchased at drug stores, grocery stores, etc

oh nice, I have the metallic blue n black one, still like using it :)

こんにちは ♪ 。The pen looks like it writes very well.👍

Thanks for this

I have an 80, and like it well -- and was thinking as well that I'd like to put a Lamy stub nib onto it. I don't generally post pens for writing, but I do like to post the 80. My only concern is to wonder how well the plastic will hold up over time. If the pens remain available at so low a price, perhaps that won't matter anyhow. I might add that your remark at the end, that you now are viewing the Lamy 2000 in a better light because of this Jinhao, is why makers of high end pens should not worry that Chinese imitations are successful. That said, my Wing Sung/Jun Lai 630 with a 14K nib is so good that why would I pay hundreds more just to get a white "snow cap"?

I used these all during childhood as a student. It was mandatory to use these in our school from Grade 6 onwards. The price to quality ratio of these is excellent if not the best. Pakistan's stationery industry is one the best for its affordability and quality.

Either a vacuum filler or Japanese eyedropper fill (Opus 88s) can shut off the air pressure change, so are completely safe to fly.

If someone has the Prelude in stock as fountain pen it would be Appelboom. I do have the rollerballpoint Prelude myself in white/gold

Yes, Preludes are still available. They are re-releasing the original ink colors

Sheaffer nibs are lovely, especially the tubular ones.

All information are true and you have covered it 360 degrees about this pen. Thanks for the video

Thanks for sharing and making us aware!

I also have one in black. I used to like it. Mostly because - although the nib makes it more similar to the Vector as you stated - it reminds me the Parker 45. Unfortunately the plastic cracked.

Thank you for your beautiful, calming voice.

love this model , Im using 4 of them since year 2002 every day, very robust model, indestructible!

I remember those at 15 euro, at 30-40 that i found some blue color nowadays, there are certainly better pens to buy. The rubberized grip wears off through time even if you don't use it alot, making bubbles like the frontier.

Great video?

Drying out is a fatal flaw for me. Thanks for the video!

There is a good video from "Technology Connections" on why brown is just a dark orange called "Brown; color is weird".

I've been using 5 different 4001 inks and I love them.

So sorry. I had that happen with a Sailor Lecoule pen that I ordered from Amazon. The first came with a cartridge inserted! Replacement was use , and I had three attempts to finally get a new pen. So sad. 😢

Does this come with a medium nib or fine nib?

I have this pen, but the matte black version, which I think looks even better, it doesn't post if you just push it, but if you turn/twist it on slightly, it will, try that.

How does this compare to Lamy Allstar...??

Asvine P36 u shoul check as alternative

Just bought the same pen on sale, only with the completely opposite nib, a fine. A good sign that you enjoyed it.

Nice pen, but it's very expensive for piece of plastic))

Hello. Thank you for your video. I made a swatch card for the Pelikan 4001 Blue / Black yesterday. What I saw on paper is very close to what I see on your video. Not blue / black, but blue blue blue / black. It’s a nice color and I’ve loaded it in a Pelikan M800. I’ll go to another brand for the classic blue / black I want.

Oo, I have this pen. It writes very nice, but the frame is plastic and it can be broken very. P.S. perhaps I have some mistakes because I am from Russia and my English isn't brilliant))

Hello from Russia! I want to buy fountain pen like a present for New Year and your review has helped me to choose the pen. Thank you!

I love Cosmo's half-stache 😊❤

I have them in all colors, they are cute desk pens for quick easy writing. The one i have aligns fine after closing.

I couldn’t get ANY search hits on Jinhao 25. But apparently in the US (or at least on US Amazon) it is the Jinhao 248. Other AliExpress regions it comes up as the 24 or 166. Go figure 😂

The cat wins!!!

Question: does it or all fountain pens leak if you leave them nib down

I have been enjoying the low cost fountain pen reviews, i wonder if you might consider review the Herlitz my.pen? I believe it is marketed as a school pen in the EU. Herlitz makes more than on model, the one i like looks quite a bit like a Waterman Carene, a much more costly pen. It comes in several colors, but the most elegant is black pen with white rubber grip. I can not seem to add photo to comments?

Nice review, i thought somewhere i saw someone put a Kaweco sport clip on there pilot kakuno? They are sold seperate, but test if you have a kaweco sport before ordering.

greetings from Malaysia, "apa khabar" as we say in Malaysia for how are you. I'm Fergus Lim, I have a Jinhao 25 and it's one of my favourite designs from the Jinhao brand. the barrel from both the Kakuno and Jinhao is interchangeable. on the whole it feels like a Pilot Kakuno. :)

I'm a big fan of Diamine Blue Velvet.

My experience with Jinhao pens and travelling wasn't great either... I would just save some more and get either a Lamy or a Preppy, they can be found for cheap and are much more reliable in my experience.

I have some pens for bottled ink but on air travels I only take cartridge pens with me. My Twsbi Diamond 580 was heavily leaking after a flight. Then I decided to only use small International cartridges.

I had two demonstrator JinHao DaDao 9019 pens. I filled them with J. Herbin Éclat Saphir ink. I gave one to a friend, an author, so he could have a nice pen for book signings. He is not a fountain-pen user. He put it in his inner jacket pocket and it leaked into the cap, just with his usual walking around. He was alarmed, and did not want to use it, and gave it back. The other one has also leaked into its cap and stained the cap. I like the JinHao DaDao 9019 pens, but they are not for travel or even for carrying around. At another event, I gave him a HongDian C1 with the same ink, and he loved it. I have traveled with Wing Sung 601s and a 618 with no problems--though on the airplane I keep them in a zip-lock bag. They also wrote flawlessly mid-flight in reduced pressure. (I like vintage Parker 51 and 61 hooded-nib pens and Parker 51-derived pens and the Wing Sung 601s are my workhorse pens.)

piston mechanism is the problem may me, u can try it with cartridge..?
