In this video I give my opinion on the Jinhao X159 Fine nib Acrylic Fountain Pen in Black with Silver Trim. My cats Coco and Princess (otherwise known as my assistants) were napping and did make an appearance in the beginning of the video but all opinions and mistakes are strictly mine. • https://www.amazon.com/Jinhao-Fountai... • I bought mine from Amazon with channel ad money. This pen has a lot going for it! Although, as I explain in the video, it is not my favorite of the 2 Jinhao 159 models -- I prefer the metal one because of the nib size mainly. • This fountain pen has a #8 nib which is the only #8 nib I own. So I'm limited in nib width when writing with this one. • Ink I used in the Jinhao X159 was Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi • The red Jinhao 159 I was using has Colorverse Red Shift ink in it. • I found a lot to like in this new pen: it's lightweight, it has a beautiful elegant/simple design, and it's very affordable. • Here are a few measurements: • Weight of the X159 - 28.2 grams (with ink) Weight of the original metal 159 - 48.4 grams (without ink) • Weight of the X159 uncapped - 17.6 grams • Length capped: 147 mm • Length un-posted: 132 mm • Grip Diameter: 13 mm (the original 159 grip diameter 12 mm tapered so it varies) • On the minus side: I feel very limited in nib size/choice and not only that but my particular nib although it does not skip or hard start --- needs some tuning which I will complete when I get some more brass shim. Meanwhile, it writes acceptably but I don't really like the writing experience yet. Also, there are not as many color choices with the X159 as there are in the metal 159s. • I think people who love Fine nibs, light weight pens, and easy to maintain affordable pens will love this one and any nib work if needed at all should be minor and easy to accomplish. If you don't lose your pen maintaining items like I've done. • These are only my opinions and there are a variety of video reviews out there ... be sure to look around because as a Broad nib person I can be rather harsh on pens with F nibs. I actually like the nibs that come on the Jinhao 159s, X750s and X450s much better (they are number 6 nibs) than this #8 nib. • Follow me on Instagram: / snowball7470 • My pen email: [email protected]
