I also love good cup of coffee. Life is too short for bad coffee! Nice check in. If you have any extra ink / can change converters between the pens on the way back then you would know for sure if that pen is not airplane-safe
We have a lovely coffee roastery in town called "Mastertons" and I have become accustomed to their excellent coffee blends. I guess I'm a bit of a coffee snob now, but I don't care. Good coffee rules! I only have the one converter for this pen and haven't even tried any others, but its a good idea - thanks. I will have a go at it.
My experience with Jinhao pens and travelling wasn't great either... I would just save some more and get either a Lamy or a Preppy, they can be found for cheap and are much more reliable in my experience.
I have some pens for bottled ink but on air travels I only take cartridge pens with me. My Twsbi Diamond 580 was heavily leaking after a flight. Then I decided to only use small International cartridges.
I had two demonstrator JinHao DaDao 9019 pens. I filled them with J. Herbin Éclat Saphir ink. I gave one to a friend, an author, so he could have a nice pen for book signings. He is not a fountain-pen user. He put it in his inner jacket pocket and it leaked into the cap, just with his usual walking around. He was alarmed, and did not want to use it, and gave it back. The other one has also leaked into its cap and stained the cap. I like the JinHao DaDao 9019 pens, but they are not for travel or even for carrying around. At another event, I gave him a HongDian C1 with the same ink, and he loved it. I have traveled with Wing Sung 601s and a 618 with no problems--though on the airplane I keep them in a zip-lock bag. They also wrote flawlessly mid-flight in reduced pressure. (I like vintage Parker 51 and 61 hooded-nib pens and Parker 51-derived pens and the Wing Sung 601s are my workhorse pens.)
It probably does, but because the converter is so big, I have never checked. This is also a screw-in converter and maybe it just wasn't tightened enough, because I am careful about overtightening and then cracking the plastic.
Either a vacuum filler or Japanese eyedropper fill (Opus 88s) can shut off the air pressure change, so are completely safe to fly.
Thanks for sharing and making us aware!

Sounds like a plan. Although, my Lamy had a converter and no leaks. But certainly some pens are more prone to leaking on a flight.
@onemorepen I think my twsbi has had some prblems before but I don't want to take any chances and travel only with the tiny cartridges. 😊
@@norissima95 Actually that sounds like a good plan

I really enjoy using the Jinhao 9019, even thinking of getting the clear demonstrator model, but as you say, they are for the desk and not the pocket.
piston mechanism is the problem may me, u can try it with cartridge..?
I love your black cat logo. I don't know whether I have a cartridge that will fit, but will definitely try it out next time. Thanks.
@@onemorepen cats we like :) others told that it works with international cartridge? isnt it true?
It probably does, but because the converter is so big, I have never checked. This is also a screw-in converter and maybe it just wasn't tightened enough, because I am careful about overtightening and then cracking the plastic.
@onemorepen hope it will work with standard cartilage and never cause a problem for u again in flight trips 🤞
