I have 35 Jinhaos in my collection and they are all excellent pens. Obviously Fine or Extra-fine nibs will give you a thinner line than a Medium nib, which is why there's such a difference in the line widths of the 51A and the X450 and X750. My favourite at the moment is the 9019 Dadao; what a stunning writer!

[@Kamdorian]

Wow you have a huge collection. I have to try the 9019 dadao. My 91A started leaking seems to have a crack somewhere

[@robertreid7221]

I love Jinhao pens, the 51a and Centennial 100 being two particular favourites

[@Kamdorian]

I agree the 51a is a wonderful low cost pen. Although I have recently noticed one of my 51a pens has started to leak near the threads, it might have cracked from over tightening. I have not tried the centennial 100 yet but thanks for the recommendation I will surely try it!
What nib size do you like with it?

[@robertreid7221]

@@Kamdorian The Centennial 100 comes with a number six fine nib as standard. However, medium number sixes are readily available online as are stub nibs from 1.1 to 2.9 Cheers, Bob.

Did learn, early in the game, how to tweak a nib to make it wetter/smoother, and/or replace the
converter for better ink flow. Currently have one of my 159s inked with Chesterfield Smoked
Topaz. The Jinhao 100 Centennials have become one of Jinhao's top of the line pens, with
12 in my collection.

[@Kamdorian]

Wow you are a Jinhao master! Amazing collection wish I could try some of them. Which one is your favorite and which one writes the smoothest?

[@HJKelley47]

@@Kamdorian : My Jinhao 100 Centennial is my #1 favorite. I truly like the fact that I
can exchange either the #5 Jinhao nib with a Goulet, JOWO, FPR, etc, or the #6 Jinhao
nib for one of the other brands. Many of my X750s have a #6 Goulet 1.1 stub. I have also
used a FPR #5 1.0 stub nib in the X250. I also enjoy writing with the Jinhao 75 Chainmail,
Jinhao 3000, Jinhao 51A, Jinhao 159, Jinhao 777 with a tad bit of smoothing. I approach
using fountain pens with the understanding that these are not high-end pens, so my expectations
tend to be more realistic. I enjoy the fact that I can exchange the nib, smooth the nib, or tweak
it to make it a wetter/dryer nib. I learned a lot about nib tweaking from Stephen Brown on TH-cam
in my early pens collecting days, which has helped me to get the best writing experience out of my
Jinhao pens.

51A wood is real wood. I have the Ebony and the Mahogany that use the numbers nib.
HINT: An super easy way to tell if it is real wood: look inside the barrel using a flashlight. Drilled wood looks different than plastic or metal.
Does your 51A have the Extra Fine, Fine, or Medium nib?
Thanks for using the Diamine Ancient Copper! I was thinking of getting that for my Sepia ink.

[@Kamdorian]

Thanks for the tips! Good to know it is real wood too. Mine is a fine nib. The ancient copper is a great looking ink however it is very hard to clean in my experience and I have had some issues where it tends to dry out inside the pen quicker than other inks. Nevertheless still a fun ink to use and try! Thanks for watching the video and good luck!!

[@amitray9965]

today i have received X51A, really excellent at such a low price.

[@Kamdorian]

Yes great pen and price is unbeatable! Enjoy the pen!!

[@amitray9965]

but pen is not fine like hero 329. So, is it defective product? should it be replaced?

[@Kamdorian]

@@amitray9965 I am not sure. What issues are you having with the pen?

[@pauljuliussimbulan6422]

I saw an ad for jinhao 998 but I cant find a video about it

[@Kamdorian]

I don't have the 998 yet but it is on my list to purchase and review soon!

[@PuchoWebSolutions]

Hello from New York CIty! Generally can Jinhao fountain pens be used safely on plain paper without bleeding ink? Thanks for video.

[@Kamdorian]

it depends on the ink used and the nib itself. I would think a fine nib with something like monteverde midnight black ink would do well on plain paper. Best way to find out is to try it! You can also check out www.mountainofink.com they do tons of comparisons and reviews on inks on different paper so you can get an idea of how certain inks would behave on thin plain paper. That is my go-to website before I buy an ink.

[@pedrogonzalez5590]

@@Kamdorian it also depends on the paper even if it's a regular one. In my exams I write with fountain pens, in some cases they bleed *terribly* , but in others it works perfectly

[@HJKelley47]

If you are going to use fountain pens, use fountain pen friendly paper, and you will not have to
deal with feathering, ghosting or bleed through. That includes: Rhodia, Black n' Red notebooks,
or even 90 lb weight copy paper from a stationery supply store. If you plan on using cheaper
paper, then you will need to write with a fine or EF nib to minimize bleeding issues. Like yourself I had to
learn what works best with my fountain pens. I started writing with fountain pens in 1988-1989,
and I never went back to ballpoints! I try to catch Black n' Red notebooks on sale, and buy several
at one time, for I write and/or journal daily,.

Which pen model is the Best?

[@Kamdorian]

I like the Jinhao 101 and 51a models the best. Very smooth writing and lightweight to hold in the hand.

[@stargazer1359]

I can never get a 992 to write....

[@Kamdorian]

My 992 clear demonstrator has not had any issues starting up yet, even after a few days of not writing with it. I have it inked with Monteverde Horizon Blue, this is a lubricated ink which helps prevent drying up at the nib. What ink do you have in your 992? Try giving it a wash and switching to a lubricated ink. Also the 992 seems to be Jinhao's version of the Monteverde Monza pen so maybe it is just happier with Monteverde inks (or lubricated inks in general).

[@stargazer1359]

@@Kamdorian Right on all these points....I have plenty of Jinhao's...All write quite well....I do have a Monza with an flex nib...pretty good. I mainly use Diamine and Monteverde
