Moonman Q1 - Mini Eyedropper Fountain Pen - First Impressions!

  • In this video - I take you along as I look at and ink up my new Moonman Q1 mini eyedropper fountain pen I ordered on e-bay from China. This is a unique little pocket pen. I show you how it compares to my other pocket pens. This little pen weighs almost 3 times what the Moonman Mini (Wancai) weighs and this one has a clip, and an equally huge 3 ml ink capacity!
    My first impressions of this pen are great because of the smooth nib and the look of the pen. I am a bit concerned about the threads inside the cap -- that they may become stained. (this won't be an issue on the other colors but it does have the likely potential of affecting the clear demonstrator). But I will let you know how it goes as time goes along!
    One awesome distinguishing feature is a #6 nib. This has a very smooth #6 fine nib that write very nicely -- no micro-mesh needed.
    Here are a few measurements:
    Weight in grams inked with 3 ml ink: 38.7 g
    Grip Diameter: 14.2 mm approx.
    Weight in grams un-inked approx: 36.2
    Length capped: 110 mm/4.5 inches approx.
    Length uncapped: 98 mm/3.75 inches approx.

    Hi friends! I had a lot of questions about the weight of this pen uncapped -- and unfortunately I didn't think of that prior to inking but fully inked with 3 mls of ink it weighs 21.6 grams. I hope this will help. For reference, a fully inked Moonman Mini Wancia with 3 mls of ink weighs 14.1 grams posted - which is how I write with that pen. :)

      @romedeiros70 3 роки тому +2

      Thanks, Chris! Fun review for a fun pen.
      3 mL of ink should weigh close to 3 grams, so the uncapped pen should be around 18.6 grams. I am sure that is close enough for most of us fountain pen groupies.

    • @lizday8140
      @lizday8140 3 роки тому

      I saw a Chrisrap52 pen review on it and he states that the pen, with ink weighs in grams: 39 with ink, 36 without ink, 22 uncapped and that the cap itself weighs 17 grams.

      Hi Alesa -- by the time you get one if you do the price may be lower - that seems to happen with these pens. :) I felt I was all thumbs and I totally didn't get it at first about the threads being in the middle of the cap ... most of the caps seem to have threads closer to the end. But I see how they designed it now. I'm sure mine will spend it's life purple. LOL

    I've been really interested in trying this for a while, but the gold accenting just doesn't match my ascetics. I really wish it came with silver hardware. And I hear you with the demonstrator choice, if a pen comes in a demonstrator option that's the one I get. It's such a joy seeing the ink swirl around and seeing the mechanics of the pen and how it flows, it seems a shame to cover that up. It's such a fun part of the fountain pen experience for me.

    • @ChrisSaenz13
      @ChrisSaenz13  2 роки тому

      Hi Inazarab -- would you believe this pen is still inked from my initial purchase and still writing with absolutely no issues ... ink is Monteverde Purple Reign.

      Hi Daniella. I luckily don't have arthritis in my hands just my back, hips and shoulders ... ugh ... but I am going to evaluate this pen up against my other Moonman Mini which has such a comfortable slightly smaller grip section. I have them both on my desk so I can make sure and write with both a lot this month. (June). I'm not sure yet if this Q1 is going to be a comfy grip. It doesn't post securely and even for my small hand I wonder if I'm going to like writing with it as much as I like the screw to post Moonman Wancia Mini. I'll be coming back to talk about it mid-month.

    My EF nib was not as good as yours.
    Even with micromeshing, opening up the feed channels and spreading the tines.
    I ended up swapping to a WingSung #6 M nib, that flows and matches the thickness better.
    This is a great little pen, the hand feel and balance is surprisingly superb for what it is.

    This looks like an homage to the Tombow Zoom Egg pen!
    These fat pens weren't actually made for people with arthritis initially, that's a myth, but as someone with autoimmune arthritis issues I find my Tombow Zoom Egg to be my most comfortable everyday writer because of how fat the grip section is, and it being short works well for my small-ish hands. It definitely does take some getting used to at first though! The Eggs can be hard to find nowadays so I'm really looking forward to this as a cheap and readily available alternative, can't wait to try it out!

    Just bought one from Amazon. I was unable to unscrew the nib housing so didn't have the leaking you experienced. Mine has an EF nib. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it performed when filled with Jacques Herbin Vert Amazone. My expectations were very low, being a mass produced $23 pen from China. The nib is in fact much smoother than the nibs on my Conklin Duragraph LE or Monteverde Ritma. And like you, I find it fun to see the ink sloshing around in the pen....cuteness factor 10+.

    • @ChrisSaenz13
      @ChrisSaenz13  3 роки тому

      Hi planner -- I have had trouble only with Noodler's eye dropper pens for far in terms of burping. The Moonman ones have yet to cause me trouble. So, I'm not sure. I have heard that keeping more than half a fill could help. But I write my little Moonman pens dry and they never burp. :)

      @scriptkeeper8243 3 роки тому +1

      I highly recommend the Lilliput. I'm a big handed guy and still love mine. Chris is correct on the burping. More air in body means more pressure can build from the warmth of your hand.

    • @andrewdaydreamer5209
      @andrewdaydreamer5209 3 роки тому +1

      Burping is caused by the air expanding in the barrel. So you need to keep them full as possible to minimise the air.

      Hi spiffylilz -- the little cat ink sample vial came from pen friend Cassandra - and I think she got them at the 99 cent store. We don't have one in my part of Texas. I glued a little piece of cardboard onto the bottom of it and I can't remember what they are sold for ... but there are many designs I've seen online in other people's videos.

    Hello Chris,
    Thank you very much for your review.
    The fountain pen does not seem to be tight.
    The ink is seeping through the threads, around the nib....
    Amazing that you and the people don't mind...:)
    Please write if this is a permanent quirk please....
    Kind regards from Vienna
    Michel

      Hi Michel -- I dunked the nib in the ink sample so it got the threads that hold the cap on all inky but other than that I'd had no inks and have had it inked up since the day I got it and it's writing great ... not leaving my fingers inky.

      In one of your videos you said a broad was writing as a fine one thing you can do in that situation is increase the gap in the tines slightly this will increase the width and flow, all you need is a 0.0020mm brass shim to widen the gap and a 0.0010 mm too floss the slit, alternatively, you can press the nib against your nail until it opens up, it all sounds scary but try it on a pen you never use first, then you'll get some confidence that's how I learned

    Hmm, you need large pockets for this pen but not deep ones 8-)
    Apparently the chinese companies use the same shipping method as here in Germany. All orders are put into a cargo container and flown to the destination. There customs, taxes etc. are handled for the bulk and then the items are relabeled and put into the local mail.
    It seems to save some money and the customer won't need to pick it up at customs.
    Here in Germany if an item has been cleared by customs individually, there is a small green sticker (either "excempt from customs" or "processed by customs") on the package. I can see the sticker on PenBBS orders but not on items bought by chinese retailers.

    Tissue paper and your thumb nail. Put the tissue over your nail, and then run your nail along the grooves of the threads and rotating the pen slowly. Do this 3 times while applying pressure straight down, upwards and downwards to make sure all angles of the thread is covered. Ink can be very stubborn!

      Hi Aravind -- I have been very happy with mine!!!! The nib is super smooth and it NEVER and I repeat NEVER dries out ... which I can't say that about very many of my pens. I think I had paid $24 but it is worth $30 to me. The grip section is on the thick side but comfortable for me. Some people don't like these pens because of the size -- they are FAT basically but top quality in terms of the nib and the fact they don't dry out. I have had Monteverde Purple Reign in mine for 5+ months. It has a big ink capacity ... I am sorry but I don't know if it takes cartridges ... I believe it's 100% eyedropper ... I had great luck .... NO leaks at all it tightens very nicely. I hope this helps!
