What Chinese Pens Are You Using Today? 2018 + 2019

[testrider]

Thanks! I looked around and mine looks very close to a Wing Sung 3008, except the cap. The piston was disassembled the same way and looks identical. It writes so well with an EF nib.

 

 

There are many ebay listings for PenBBS pens with multiple listings and among the list of options is a really cheap pen (or packet of nibs or something) that's a much lower price than all the PenBBS pens listed. It's a bit of a scammy thing to do because it makes the price shown on the search results the lowest priced item and not the higher-priced item described in the title. I've been on a one-woman campaign to report them, but I don't think ebay cares.

 

Just like this one: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Luxury-PENBBS-308-Acrylic-Fountain-Pen-Smooth-Fine-0-5mm-Nib-Writing-For-Him-New/352265748392?hash=item5204acbfa8:m:mG2tJVhZZTyKiyFtI932kFQ

The kaigelu 356. Really smooth nib and saved me having to buy a sonnet.

I got my Gld-Star 210 [ Blue Black ] out for a spin, it had the original nib swapped for one from the Hero 241/441/841 series in an less common M size

I've got a very slow-starting Jinhao x750 with a Jowo B nib in which I'm finishing up an ink cartridge. Going to clean it out soon and try a just-received Jowo M nib with it to see if I can get better inkflow.

Delike Alpha, bought to use at work. It lives in the back pocket of my pants.

I can't justify buying a brass Kaweco Sport so...............

I moved the clip to cover that weird inscription.

Today arrived an order from Aliexpress. I don't know the model of this Yiren, but it's a very good writer!

The Wing Sung 698 is such an amazing value. I use mind pretty often.

I'm writing with a Wing Sung 3001 today. And it'll be the last day I use it unless I feel like fitting a new nib on it. Came with the gold paint peeling off and micro cracks in the barrel. Not entirely unexpected or heartbreaking. But the nib skips so much, despite flushing, tuning and flooding, that it misses entire letters. Dreadful.

I had 3001. One was extremely dry, the other skipped a lot too. The nibs on mine are glued to the section so I couldn't remove them to tune them. Pity. Well, even if I had tuned them I would have needed a new converter, since they came loose all the time. Remember to check your regularly.

Swank.

 

Me, not so swank. A 991 frankenpen with a donor feed and nib from a cheap supermarket pen. Thanks to the feed differences it's my first eyedropper too.

 

And a Wing Sung 3001 with a bad nib, ground to something vaguely resembling a 1mm stub. Doesn't skip so much now.

My current favorite Chinese pens are Wing Sung 698 and Kaco Sky II. Both are Extra Fine nibs,and are reliable writers. KACO's EF is slightly thicker compared to WS, maybe because I bought the black nib version.... These pens are making me loving Chinese pens again.
