You can open the tines by pressing firmly on paper and doing 7 strokes going down. Keep a firm grip but do not press too hard lest you split the times a good way to tell if the tines are too ight or too wide is to hold the nib to a light if you see a small gap you are ok but if you dont see the gap you are probably too tight, you can also get thin brass sheets to clean the nib. If you like the pilot cartridges i suggest you look at majhon a1 cartridges, they are afforable and made from a much more durable plastic and you wont have to buy more ink cartridges.
It worked!! Thank you so much! After about 20 strokes, the ink started faintly coming out. 100 strokes down and the black pilot ink is showing through perfectly now. Whew! So happy this pen was able to be "saved." 😅 I'll have to check out those majohn cartridges as well. Your suggestion and tip is very much appreciated! After a week, I'll be sure to share another video update. Many thanks again!
I've got a few of the Jinhao 10's and I've had to work on all of the nibs because they are too tight. I use a razor blade to slip between the tines to space them apart ever so slightly. Be careful though because it's like threading a needle with a sharp object but it works great. Enjoyed your video. The gold on gold is my favorite. I've also got the gradient gray and the silver on silver. I like them for work because I can engage my pen with one hand while on the phone.
Ahh, I see. After flushing it three times, still no flow. It wasn’t until I tried this hack a commenter left suggesting doing multiple firm down strokes to open up the tines. That did the trick!
I love that the Pilot cartridges and converters have wide necks. I usually use pipettes instead of syringes for filling - better control. I did have an inkident once where I accidentally plunged the syringe too hard and had ink squirt back on me. 😂 Tip: I usually flush my new pens with water before I ink them up for the first time. Usually, it is not really necessary, but some manufacturers MAY leave machine oils, etc. Also, if you buy a LAMY pen, they test their nibs at the factory, so they often have blue ink in the nib. Since I don't know when I *need* to flush new pens, I just tend to always do it. That nib might need a little opening up, but if you are not comfortable doing it yourself, exchanging it is fine. Good luck!
Thank you so much for the tips and suggestions! It's very much appreciated. You were right - the nib needed a bit opening up...and I should've shaken that Carbon black before inking it up. I think some of the ink was clogging the teeny nib
Platinum carbon ink will need to be shaken. It has carbon particles in it. Similar to a shimmer ink. Also I recommend you flush the pen before inking it. It can have oils/ink/micro metal particles not allowing the ink to glow correctly. Best wishes!
As someone who also got my Jinhao 10 today, I noticed the feed was dirty (you can see some sheen). The reason is that sometimes the manufacturer tests the nibs. Lamy does this too. It’s always a good idea to clean the nib and feed before inking up. A bunch of blue ink came out when I flushed. Afterwards it worked flawlessly. Love the Jinhao 10.
@@SeaweedKisses Honestly I caught it because i also happened to get a Jinhao 80 (which is like their Lamy 2000 knock off). And i was curious since it's a Lamy knock off, if they test them like Lamy does, and I noticed the Jinhao 80 was tested, which caused me to check the Jinhao 10. And again, it's plainly clear they're probably only doing a dip test since the converter and everything inside is spotless.
Personally I find the needle tipped bottles you find in craft stores perfect for ink filling. They hold a lot and give pretty good control in filling converters, ink cartridges or eye dropper pens.
Yeah Carbon ink isnt the best for these types of pens they clog and its almost impossible to clean out because you need some sort of frixion and soap to get it off or out :( I would keep carbon ink in a kakuno at least you can take out the feed and wash it but not so much on the jinhao capless pen or the pilot nibs dont put it in a pilot nib just save yourself the headache
Watching you test the nib, I was thinking to myself - yeah, that's the Jinhao experience. I have accumulated 10 Jinhao fountain pens or so, and not a single nib worked out of the box. Some I was able to condition, some I exchanged for Bosch nibs, some went in the trash. Try the Majohn (Moonman) A1 or A2 instead. They were the first Pilot VP clone. I've been using them for three years, carry them with me everywhere, never an issue. Outstanding quality and durability, IMO.
More like the fountain pen experience. I got a 14k Pilot nib that behaved like that, managed to get it swapped and the new one still had the same issue. I might happen more often with Jinhao. I guess I've been lucky with them so far: my two Jinhaos had even been tested!
Thank you for this. I wouldn't have known what to do with this pen! Big time rookie here. Also, I'm worried because I ordered mine after your last video of this pen, from Ali Express. 😮
Thanks for sharing your journey! The thing about affordable options is the ability to try out different brands, nibs, styles… just to feel it out and to have multiple things to play with. Especially for us clumsy folks (apparently I’m skilled at breaking nibs because I’m heavy handed) 😂
I got my first Jinhao 10 and had problems with dry starts and skipping. I flossed the nib with a brass shim and was able to get a constant flow. Now it writes a little wetter and slightly broader. I’m afraid Jinhao is having nib quality control problems.
My three Jinhao 10s were all good writers, but this is good advice for a simple fix rather than just sending back. Nib tuning is sometimes needed on both $ and $$$ pens.
My first Majohn a1 (similar) was dry starting EVERY time (even after lifting the pen from the paper for a few seconds - I always flush new pens). I tried the gentle pressure, but I think the tines are just too tight. I am returning it for a replacement (Amazon). My second Majohn A1 works beautifully (a little more than the Jinhao 10). I may try the Jinhao 10 as well as I have Jinhao pens that are great!
I was reading a review of a type fountain ink that can leave particles in the barrel and will clog the nib leaving it useless. Maybe that ink is not safe to use for your Pilot.
i think in normal japanese speaking it would just be kakuno with a short u but since it has an umlot on the U to make the smiley face, that is probably whats making people say kakoono in english, which makes sense. you can probably say it the japanese way or the english way i doubt either is wrong, unless thats not actually meant to be an umlot at all and just a smiley face
How frustrating! Thank you for sharing this. Being new to fountain pens, I'd assume it was all my fault. Hopefully you'll have better luck with your next one.
Carbon Black won't clog that quickly (luckily.) I think it could clog if left in the pen overnight and the seal on the pen was bad, but if the seal's good the pen can go a pretty long time before needing a quick rinse.
I would clean the nib under some warm water and get it cleared out - my guess it has some gunk from the seal or something else. Also calligraphy ink tends to gunk up more for some reason.
I also have a Jinhao 10. I don't own Platinum Carbon Black, but I have noticed that my Jinhao does better with more lubricated inks like Pilot. If the ink stuck to the syringe like that, maybe the nib needs to be flushed out with like a bulb syringe? ....or you just got a dud like you said. I'm fairly new to fountain pens, too. 😊
I love Platinum Carbon but they don't work with most fine nibs. You'll have ink flow problems because of the pigment. If you want to use that ink with a fine nib, it will have to be a Platinum pen with those big feeds. It works perfectly with my Plaisir, for example.
glad you're giving it another go! I never thought to reuse lamy cartridges, love the idea might try it with my lamy if possible! non sequitur but i'm obsessed with the little critters holding your brown twsbi? where are they from?
could very much be the ink, but also its good practice to flush any new nibs as most pens are tested during the fabrication process. Some inks that are dryer might struggle more with finer nibs. I have a few EF Majohn A1 and Jinhao 10 (basically the same pens) and some inks write without issue even with shimmer in it, and others feel as if its drying as I'm writing so your nib might be too dry for the particular ink. Permanent inks are often also pigment inks as they have particles in them where non-permanent inks are often dye based and thus don't have that pigment particle issue getting clogged (there's always exceptions). Want to add that I have that same gold Jinhao (and the red marble with gold version). Very nice looking pen 👌That one I have inked with wearingeul Path, which is a shimmer ink, and the red with Diamine Ancient Copper, but I've noticed Ancient Copper to dry out in my pens quicker than some others and it has been having hard start issues in the Jinhao too (a wetter pen may be needed for that ink)
Hey Michelle. I know you mentioned wanting to try a shimmer ink that's not too overwhelming. May I recommend Hades by wearengeul. Its a dark purple black with a subtle blue shimmer. Its absolutely beautiful but not too over the top.
My Jinhao 10 hard starts, like every time. I quickly dip the nib in water and then it starts writing. It is a great writing experience once it writes. I like how smooth it is. But the hard starting is annoying.
I have the matte black. I still haven’t inked it yet. I have another Jinhao, I think the 82. One them is scratchy too. Hopefully you can exchange this one.
It might not be a flow issue -- every pen and cartridge/converter may have leftover manufacturing substances (oils, etc) on them straight out of the box, and these can affect flow. Personally, I don't wait to see if there's gonna be a flow issue, I just flush every new pen and new converter (or cartridge, if I'm filling up a new one) with water combined with a tiny drop of Dawn Original dish detergent* (the one with the little yellow ducky on it -- it has the gentlest formula, no abrasive surfactants). Then flush with water to get everything including the dish detergent water, out. I use distilled water just to be safe since I may have hard water. About a shot glass full, or full cup with a couple drops. Then I flush the pen and whatever else I'm about to use. Obvs, if you're using the ink from the cartridge, you can just clean the pen, not dump the ink to clean the cartridge, lol! If you fill an empty cartridge, bought empty, then flush with Dawn-water, if you just emptied it to refill it with the desired ink, just water is fine. Then let air dry for a bit, dry the nib and such real well on a paper towel so you don't dilute the ink in the bottle when you fill, and enjoy! Pen may be a little watery for the first few pages if it was filled still wet, but it normalizes after that. If this doesn't solve the flow issues, then try another ink, it might be the ink in this particular pen, not meshing well. If another ink doesn't solve the issue, then flossing the tines with a brass shim is in order, or gently spreading the tines on your thumbnail with a downwards sliding motion pointing the nib towards the cuticle will spread the tines a little and allow more flow. But go slow, you don't wanna do too much too fast. If none of these things work, you may just have flow problems in this particular pen. But hopefully the other methods (and the other suggestions in thread) work -- good luck! * Has to be the Dawn Original, other dishwashing detergents are not as surfactant-free/surface-safe -- including other Dawn detergents.
I just had one that was skipping like that, and it can happen when the doesn’t have enough ink. i stored my pen with this issue (kaweco perkeo) head down for a night and now it has no issue, i guess the ink supply in the tip wasn’t enough. it’s been working perfect since!
pretty color, but yeah, it needs washed out and then the tines opened more by slightly forcing it to write flexed, a few times. not hard enough to bend them back but hard enough to open them up a little, but wash it first.
I think the gold ones are sold out! I can’t even get it on Amazon. 😢😂 The white one is really pretty. I want to wait for the update before jumping in. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
-A new fountain pen should always be washed before being inked. This is a highly recommended habit due to factory testing and manufacturing processes; they may not only have dried ink but also debris. -Ink should always be shaken before filling a pen. -You should never try a new pen with an ink that you don't know. You must know the "behavior" and characteristics of your ink, so you can evaluate whether the pen has a manufacturing defect or not. Since not all pens perform equally well with all inks. Large particle or high viscosity inks may or may not have problems with some "types" of pens.
Thank you again for the Benu Milk and Honey, I am so excited and have sent you an email with my address. 😭 As far as this video, another deep dive, I am so excited , I love these mystery deep dives on your channel!

i think its the carbon ink, i wouldnt use a document ink in a extra fine pen as it can clog the feed. But i wouldnt think its a faulty. I have a Jinhao 82 in fine and inked it once and couldnt make it write. Thought OK, its a cheap pen, nevermind and just few days ago i thought i give it a chance again and inked it with my document ink Lamy crystal benitoite and i allready refilled it for the second time because its writing beautifuly now.... so give it another chance.

@@davidnavarrete6413 Didn't know that the Majohn cartridges fit the Jinhao. So the converter should fit then also?

Skippage can happen in New pens that are not flushed before use. Sometimes there is debris left after machining.

@@andyminsky9435 same! i love my A1 more than my Pilot VP now🤭
I think carbon black is a pigment ink which won't flow the same as a dye based ink. W a fine nib that can be a problem.
My husband ordered one to try. The more I watch your vids on it, I think the universe is nudging you to use your Pilot VP!

seeing you pick up these jinhaos is treading me ever so close to picking up the majohn a1. which is supposeively the pilot decimo clone.
The decimo clone is the a2 (narrower barrel). The a1 is the normal vp/capless clone (fatter barrel). Penabling u just in case u place an order...😅
How frustrating! Thank you for sharing this. Being new to fountain pens, I'd assume it was all my fault. Hopefully you'll have better luck with your next one.
You may want to try Noodlers ink it is waterproof and seems to lubricate the pen. I have never had the problem.

I simply need to thank you for falling down the capless pen well. It has forced me to ink up my Pilot, Jinhao and Moonman (now Majong) pens!
That nib has the tines too close together so the ink doesn't flow. Happened to me with a majohn a1, you should replace it

I've studied Japanese - the way you're saying it is correct. It's Kaku not kakooo . Kaku in Japanese means 'to write'
-A new fountain pen should always be washed before being inked. This is a highly recommended habit due to factory testing and manufacturing processes; they may not only have dried ink but also debris.
-Ink should always be shaken before filling a pen.
-You should never try a new pen with an ink that you don't know. You must know the "behavior" and characteristics of your ink, so you can evaluate whether the pen has a manufacturing defect or not.
