I can see how it is not everyone's cup of tea. The grip section is thick and short. I was able to swap a Montblanc 149 Medium nib into this pen for a very very very juicy proposition. I am very impressed by how well the feed keeps up.
I'm only getting my demonstrator 9019s in bags. I don't know how to order them with the acrylic case, there's no option to specify it. As a left handed writer, I've always liked large pens, this is what prompted me purchase it.
Definitely a large pen...lol. I love the way it writes for a cheap pen under $20. It is also great for inks that stains so that you do not have to use your expensive pens.
I recently got a 9019 and for the price it's a decent pen. But, it is too chonky for me. Fine for note taking, but I won't be writing any essays with it.
Thank you for reviewing this pen! I absolutely LOVE my Jinhao 9019 Big Daddy-O! I have two of these(Clear and Transparent Wine) that both write very smooth and as wet as you'd care to have a pen. But it wasn't like that at first. I rinsed the pen when I first got it(there was resdidual ink from factory)but only rinsed in plain water. It wrote ..fine/ok. But when I used some dish soap, toothbrush and warm water it seemed to open up the feed for better flow;helped to make it smoother and provide more lush lines. I did have to disassemble nib/feed for cleaning; and that is very easy to do. Slips out/slips in. You don't usually hear the words "draggy" and "Pelikan" in the same sentence. I don't really prefer the premium, coated papers. They do feel draggy to me. I'm not including Tomoe River in the discussion as I think it is the favorite of most fountain pen people. Pen+Gear "Personal Notebook";Made in Vietnam (5.8"x8.27") in the plain brown covers with the only labeling being on the wrappers is a cheaper paper that I enjoy. It's $1/notebook of 30 sheets. I use them for taking notes, creativity with words,and wasting ink/doodling. The covers are a blank canvas for stickers or "artwork". I pick them up whenever I'm unfortunate enough to find myself in a Wal-Mart.
Thanks for your insights on this pen. It looks like a good, inexpensive demonstration model for me. And, I really like larger pens (I have Jinhao 159 metal and Conklin All-American wood). Write-On! 🫡

The nib is a #8. I have an EF. Writes very well. No drag on mine at all but I'm writing on Midori MD paper. I like mine :)
I love these budget pens that you're reviewing. Appreciate it!
I have the same clear Jinhao 9091 demonstrater with a medium nib which writes perfectly. It's a number 8 nib.
I love it. Hats off to Jinhao.
thanks for the show. Am I crazy or has Jinhao REALLY upped their game lately?
I think all of the Chinese manufacturers have upped their game these last few years.
I agree, the ones I bought a long while were quite inadequate. The ones I bought these couple of years are quite decent in quality.

I love my 9019. I have large hands and this fits perfectly! Best Sub $20 pen I have.
You may wish to try the 9016 model
The finial "fins" are there for strength and to hold that Hugh Jass converter in place.

It's actually a #8 nib.
Hope it lasts longer than my X159, which disintegrated in my pen case after several uses.
No. 8 nib
It's a copy of Namiki Emperor.
