I bought this fountain pen on the recommendation of a friend who had purchased one. The Moonman Wancai Mini fountain pen is an excellent writer. The steel nib is much smoother than many more expensive "name brand" pens, puts out a steady, wet line of ink, and gives just a hint of feedback while writing that I like. The pen is very short, but the cap posts by screwing onto the end of the barrel and that creates a good length for writing. The Wancai Mini has a wide girth, so even someone with larger hands will find it comfortable to hold, and coupled with the light weight, this is a pen that can be used for extensive writing sessions. The eyedropper fill means that there is no mechanism to fiddle with; one simply unscrews the grip section with the nib from the barrel, and then use the eyedropper to fill the barrel directly with ink. The 0-ring in the threads provides a secure seal: this pen has *never* leaked despite after being in my pocket all day with much walking around. All in all, this is one of my favorite pens: well balanced, the fit to my hand is perfect, the ink supply is ample (several days of extensive writing), and an excellent writer. Easily the best mini-pen I've ever purchased, and now I have two! Read more

Beautiful AND pragmatic: what else can I ask for? The acrylic is comfortable to hold, the threading/seals are solid, and the design is well-executed. My only only complaints are the roll-factor as there is no clip or bezel to keep this from rolling onto the floor, and I don’t love the nib. I made the mistake of overlooking the roll-factor, as I understood the Moonman n1 2019 edition DOES have a bezel to protect it. As this was my mistake, I have not weighed this against the overall rating of the pen; just something to be aware of. Regarding the nib: it isn’t bad, but compared to the nib on other more affordable pens I have used, it is considerably cheaper feeling and doesn’t have quite as much give as I like. This may be a matter of wearing it in a bit or simply a matter of preference. I don’t know. In any case, I am definitely considering after-market nibs and suggest you do the same. Overall, I love the simple elegance of the design and the consequent aesthetic allure. The utility of a large ink capacity on such a compact demonstrator cannot be overstated, and the ability to swap to cartridges in a pinch is nice too. Within a smart ink pairing, this pen is a gem to look at and feels great too. *bill for scale* I’ve found other images distorted my perception; hopefully that helps. After a good bit of using the pen, it seems the cantankerous nib didn't sort itself out and has actually gotten worse. As I mentioned before, consider an aftermarket nib. Upon closer inspection, the quality of cut on this nib is not something that can really be fixed and in my view, not tolerated. Since there are still so many great qualities of this pen, my rating remains at a four, but my after market nib is in the mail. These pens take a JoWo #5. Read more

This is a well-made pen and a surprisingly great writer. Perhaps with lower-priced nibs I set my expectations low, but I have been quite impressed with the nibs coming from China, and the nib on this fun pen is no exception. This design is unlike anything else in my collection, and is my first eye dropper. Because I prefer longer pens and use most of my EDCs posted, this is not a pen I will use daily, but it is in no way uncomfortable to write with. I took several pages of notes with it and it was very comfortable in hand. For those new to fountain pens, remember that the pen is just one side of the triangle; the quality of paper and ink are also very important. I filled mine with Pilot Kon-Peki and used Tamoe River paper, and the results were perfect. Even if this doesn’t become an everyday pen, it is absolutely worth the price, and is a fun way to introduce others to the hobby. It really is a great conversation piece. Read more

I’ve used this pen with the cartridges provided (note they are Majohn specific NOT standard fitting - Amazon do not sell them but other suppliers do). I’ve also used this pen as an eyedropper (putting ink directly into barrel) and it has performed well (no burping or leaking). As an eyedropper the capacity is HUGE and lasts for ages especially as the nib is fine. The small silicon seal (see circled area on photo) works well in keeping the ink from creeping up the threads but I added my own silicon grease on the threads just in case. The cartridges have a reasonable capacity too (0.8ml). The fine nib works well and has a “wet” feel. This is a great little pen for writing or sketching. ONE MINOR ISSUE … with no clip and a perfectly cylindrical body, this pen WILL ROLL if placed on uneven surfaces, so beware! I own 5 of these cute pens now, in various colours, and they’ve all performed well “straight from the box”. Do give the ink time to flow through the pen when “inking” for the first time. Read more

Ich mag diesen kleinen Füller sehr. Für kleine Notizen komme ich mit der kurzen Option gut zurecht. Für längere Schreibeinheiten schraube ich die Kappe hinten an. Er war etwas zickig am Anfang, aber das lag wohl einfach an der Tinte. Ich habe nun eine andere Tinte (Diamine Oxblood) drin und jetzt schreibt er wunderbar. Lässt sich auch gut mit der Pipette füllen. Einfach Prinzip und schick anzusehen. Read more
