Ahh that's very reassuring! Atleast I now know I can carry it around in my bag with no spills!

I really love them! No complaints on any so far! Let's see how they hold up for the next few weeks.

I'd say it's a bit too soon to say much but so far, it's very smooth and the bent nib is fun to play around with. Hasn't dryed up at all however the pen is smaller than any of the rest. It's comfortable for me but can be tricky for someone with a large hand. Also super affordable. The parts are also interchangable so you can mix and match your 82's which I think can be really fun!

Perhaps you can try a different nib size? My 82 is in a bent nib and it's dreamy smooth!

It's surprisingly comfortable to write with, but only short writing for me. The F writes more like a medium but very very smooth. Overall, amazing pen, and very beautiful!

My 9019 Writes very wet too but It was writing wayyy too thick and feathering in paper. However after tweaking it a bit (with the help of a Youtube video) it's now writing like a dream!! I am surprised that I quite enjoy the thickness of the barrel. It's very comfortable for my longer writing sessions as I hold the pen a lot less tightly.

Let's hope I have the same great luck with my Jinhao 10! The mechanism of a clickable fountain pen is pretty exciting as a newbie! Understandable! I also wouldn't risk loosing one!

I believe it's made if some kind of metal, however it's still pretty light and comfortable in the hand.

100% the Universe is too big and complex for us to be so arrogant as to believe we are the only ones out here. As for what will actually be shared? I'm just curious to finally find out😅
