Majohn Q1 Mini Fountain Pen Extra Fine Nib Transparent Eyedropper Filling, Short Resin Pocket Pen Large Capacity

This Little Fat Man is fantastic. My first Moon Man pen, it makes me want to look at more of their products.This is an eye dropper style pen, the first one that I have tried, and I am hooked on that convenience! The nib is smooth, writes on any paper. It always starts right up when you need it. So cool to see the beautiful ink splashing around. The pen is short and fat and hold lots of ink. The cap posts well and lengthens the pen to a regular size in your hand. I have not seen any scratches on the barrel after posting the cap. This pen is an economic value for an every day carry that, in my opinion, you can rely on for quick notes or day-long meetings.Be careful not to fill the barrel to the rim - my embarrassing 😳 rookie mistake.

I used to write notes in my school days with a novelty pen that was fat like this (fatter even), everyone got a kick out of it but it was so comfortable for long days of note taking so it was a serious boon to me. So when i found this similar fountain pen I had to have it. This is a good fit for people with smaller hands, even posted it doesn't seem like it would be a good fit for people with larger hands.I'm also big on transparent things like demonstrators and the clear version of the pen with the gold accents almost has all the right aesthetics. The only improvement possible in that department is if the feed and feed housing were also transparent.Speaking of the feed housing, the first one I ordered was kind of scratched up but a replacement took care of that issue. I purchased the bent ("fude") nib which is a Jinhao nib. It's pretty cool for my needs, checking school work, writing tiny notes in margins, etc, being able to write fat lines and perhaps medium lines depending on how you hold the nib. It also came with an EF moon man nib too. the EF is pretty fine but not like Japanese level EF, so other nibs wil be needed if one really wants to write small details easily. Some fountain pens out there can accept a Zebra G or Nikko G nib for a flex nib conversion, but this one can't.This pen writes smoother than some of the cheaper fountain pens I have used, but probably because this pen has a larger feed than those. However to maintain smooth writing it still takes the regular regimen of fountain pen tactics like flushing and all that. Which can be annoying, but are not unique to this fountain pen by any means and smoother, inks do a better job than others and it holds a lot of ink.I might order another just to have different colors to alternate between.

This can be a fun little chub of a fountain pen IF you are willing to switch out the frustrating nib that skips, is scratchy, and has a lot of drag. A nib upgrade is easy to perform. I recommend the purchase of a #6 JoWo nib. They are affordable, write like butter, and you can choose from extra fine point all the way to stub. Just pull the JoWo nib and feeder from its plastic housing and push into the plastic housing of the Moonman Q1. (I found a video "Fountain Pen Friction Fit Nib Swap Tutorial" posted on the Youtube channel, Mystery Arts to clear and easy to follow successfully.)So why would you want to bother with this? Because this Q1 pen body is really fun to use, solidly build and is like a little lava lamp showing off the ink supply. The pen holds a solid 3 ml of fluid. In fact, I think of it as a little ink test tube for your own experimentation. Here's why:The hearty opening and reservoir is handy should you wish to mix different inks together in it. Or you can add shimmer and shake it like a snow globe. I like to water down some of my heavily saturated inks to create lighter pastels... the large capacity allows for all these little experiments of one which can be quite gratifying. I have even opened the Q1 and shoved another pen into that wide opening for a quick refill on the go. Yep! I refilled my Pilot Metropolitan Con-40 directly from the opening of my Moonman Q1 (and still had enough ink in the Q1 to continue using it for a loooong time.)So, to me the pen body is unique enough (and fun enough) to justify the replacement of the nib. I find it comfortable to use posted (the cap posts well) and not posted (which lets the fat little thing fit right in the crook of my hand between the index finger and thumb - which is a surprisingly fun way to hold a pen when you're feeling super lazy. And this pen doesn't burp ink either! That can be a problem with eye-dropper pens but, not this one.If you elect to purchase this pen with plans to change the nib you won't be disappointed with the JoWo #6If you do not intend to change the nib this pen will likely be a disappointment. I'm glad I went for it for the reasons mentioned above. I also plan to rub a little silicone grease along the threads to ensure a good seal. Silicone grease is cheap and easy to find and will give me peace of mind as I toss this little chub sideways into a fanny pouch and take it on adventures.Hope this is helpful. Fountain pens are a lot of fun and this one does have some appeal.

Cómoda, el plumín se desliza bastante bien y es bonita.

Bottom end of the transparent type pen could have been used as a magnifying reading lens! Just needs some tweaking of the mold/machining to enable focus. However, the fatty design provides a good grip for writing. Overall a nice robust looking pen. Writes quite smoothly.

I am so in love with this pen. Premium material and build quality and my favourite Jinhao bent nib. Quite a fantastic writing experience. I may upload a writing sample if I get a chance to record one. They built it from a single block of wood so the wood grains match on the barrel, cap, and finial. Very grateful for having been able to afford one. Great value!UPDATE: Today I picked the fountain pen and observed that a lengthwise large crack has formed on one side of the cap. Tried to reinforce the wood and fill in the crack with crazy glue before it cracks wide open. Expected a more durable product at this price. Maybe the one in ebony wood is more durable.

For drawing & writing, this pen is excellent and the ink flows very freely. Highly recommended.

Ero incerto se comprarla o no. È la prima stilo trasparente che ho e sono ampiamente soddisfatto. Normalmente uso cartucce standard per le stilografiche perché non le uso molto e non volevo comprare anche una boccetta di inchiostro. Così ho preso una cartuccia e l' ho "spremuta" nel contenitore della stilo ottenendo anche un effetto "coreografico" dovuto al colore dell' inchiostro visibile attraverso la trasparenza della penna. La penna è corta, piuttosto grossa ma facile da impugnare. Ho scelto il pennino medio che scrive da subito senza incertezze e in modo molto scorrevole senza "grattare" la carta. A mio personale avviso la consiglio a chi volesse qualcosa di diverso dal classico.
