Reddit reviews JINHAO 250 Fountain Pen 4 Pieces in 4 Colors

I keep my good pens away from where people sit in my office. I litter G2s, a few TULs and a couple Jinhao 250s so people won't be tempted by my good ones.

If slightly heavy pens are OK, I too strongly recommend looking up the Jinhao x750, x450 and x159 on eBay. There are several sellers selling them for as little as $4 each shipped from China; at that price, you can overbuy and if you get a dud pen, just switch it out. They take Goulet nibs if you want to fiddle with them later. They're metal and come in a wide variety of color schemes. I have 4 and so far, each has been a dependable if slightly wet/wide writer. No leaks or failures in the 4. Here's a 4-pack of various Jinhao 250s on Amazon for $7.98 with $1 shipping.

4 Jinhao 250's and ink cartridges, thanks to my wife :-)

Now I just need to convince her to let me visit the ink shop again ... she keeps trying to Jedi Mind Trick me - "you do not need to buy more ink..."

I have the Ahab, a TWSBI classic (if im spelling that correct), and was just gifted a Delta Unica.

I just got into the hobby about 8 months ago and have used way more than those three, but didn't own any till recently. I would say the Delta writes fine, but havent used it that much, the TWSBI is what I usually use to write, since it just feels better in my hand. And the Ahab I use to doodle. Had it for around two months and draw a lot with it. I will say it does bleed at the top of the nib and gets on my fingers occasinally and i cant get it to stop, but as far as actually writes, its not bad.

Edit ;Also I just re read your comment and realized you mentioned the same pens I bashed. The Jinhao you see in that link are the ones I have and they have performed horribly for me. I hope you have better luck and maybe mine are junk, but all four are unusable for me.


Also.... I have these. I don't talk about those. Dry up in a day, less flex (if any), and bleed heavily. I also got those from my well meaning father who knows nothing about you get what you pay for.

• You can look at Jinhao 250 fountain pens. They're cheap and not bad for the price.

I would second the recommendation on the Pilot MR.

But you should also know, the same company as the pen you posted offers a set of four for dirt cheap. You might want to consider this option if you get more than one kind of ink. These are good for starting out.

Good luck and have fun.

I actually don't know much about this pen so I can't answer many questions very well. I am using calligraphy ink in it because that's all I have.

Edit: Just looked it up, it is a 250. My brother got a four pack on amazon and gave me two. Link

Like these? Oh god, I don't really need more fountain pens, but I may end up buying those.
