Hello Ink up your pen! I purchased a C4 a few months ago. I used a blunt syringe to fill the pen. It took about 2,0 to 2,5 ml of ink. I like this pen & just ordered a second example today & will try the vacuum filling technique when it arrives. Like you, I was a little put off by the silver nib with the gold accents on the cap. So, I changed it for a two-tone Kaigelu 'naginata' style nib which has some similarity to an architect grind. The colour matches the clip & cap-band nicely, giving good line variation & turning the pen into a doodling powerhouse! I don't mind the short clip, it holds onto my shirt pocket firmly, but I tend to insert the pen into the spiral binder of my notepad & the clip holds well in this position. It is a far better roll-stop than the flat area on the Majohn-C1. The C1 leaks a lot, an issue that I do not experience with the C4. My only complaint is that you have to be careful engaging the thread while capping the pen. It appears to be a little prone to cross threading. Some of my best design work begins as doodles. So I like the ink capacity of the Majohn-C4 & keep it filled with document ink. I will be putting a fude nib on my second pen when it arrives. Those tiny international converters just can't keep up with the demands of these brush like nibs & it is not a situation where you want a leaky pen! 😯 The C4 is definitely the best, for my purposes, of the Majohn eyedroppers that I have tried. I will be ordering another for my God-daughter's birthday. Below is a link to the naginata nib that I mentioned. I'm sure you know to look around & check details such as P&H. Greetings from down-under & ciao mate, 😉 -[ www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002679775455.html ].
A naginata style nib is a very good idea! I use one in a chinese LAMY AL-star clone an it works really fine and has a beautiful typeface. Unfortunately, the link does not work for Germany, but will look around further at aliexpress.com. Thank you!
And I'm happy with such a pen, an excellent purchase for such money. Unusual design. Large volume. The clip is small, but the main thing is that it is there. It's already very comfortable. Pen does not roll around the pocket. Transparent, which means it is always clear when it needs to be refilled with ink. Let there be many difficulties with the fact that you need to unscrew the cap, then the ink supply valve. (by the way, you can tighten the cap by this valve, then the valve will close and the cap) But I'm sure that the pen will not stain my clothes. And the ink won't dry until I use it. Also of the minuses is a large size, a dropper (which is written in the instructions), and the fact that, like all droppers, it needs to be lubricated with silicone grease.
Der Hersteller hat vermutlich auch Modelle in seinem Sortiment bei denen das mit dem Tinte aufziehen funktionieren würde. Die machen vermutlich eine Anleitung für alle Modelle um Kosten zu sparen.

Thanks for your contribution!
The length of the clip on this pen doesn’t make sense unless it is viewed with the Q1 as a series or something.
That would be a possible explanation. Thank you very much.

Ja, kann ich mir auch so vorstellen.
¿Der Unterschied zwischen Majohn und Moonman?..
Tja.. Nur der Name.
Así es, las estilográficas se ofrecen con los dos nombres.
