Glad you liked it! I have two of these, the yellow and the white. I use them every day for notes taking in my calendar. Nice weight, nice size and good writer. I'm considering buying the red one two. I like this combination of bright colors with black
Oooo this one looks gooood😍 And that nib looks like a good drawing nib! I'm ordering one immediately. Great review, Chris! I'm loving all this talk of color, lately. 👑🔥❤️🔥
After seeing this review, I decided to try the C1 with an extra fine nib. It writes beautifully, works every time I pick it up to use it. I'm also a sucker for a nice hooded nib pen and this one fits the bill. I teach in an alternative middle school and have started penabling a few of my students. I'm not afraid to let them use this pen, and you can't beat the price! Since I bought the black one and really like using it, I have bought the blue, red and yellow ones. Just waiting for them to arrive. Thanks for a great review of an excellent pen for the price.
Finally ordered a Hongdian C1,Blue . I don't think it will ever beat out my beloved HERO 565 pens,but at $5.99 will give it a go! I have six of the HERO 565 pens that I got for around $5 each. The HERO 565,the newer ones with standard converter(not the aeormetric) have a spring-loaded clip,a position marker on the section,the section is girthier than most other hooded nibs,and most of them write very well, indeed. The Hongdian C1 has much to live up to;and,I really don't expect much. Hope I am pleasantly surprised.
Nice review! I continue to be impressed with this Hongdian C1. It does not dry out. It feels good in the hand. It is an excellent writer. I love the colors. The cap is smooth and easy to open and post. It also carries well, in that my fingers only get inked if it has really been on a rough commute. This could beat out the Wing Sung 630 as my favorite new pen of the year and that is saying something. BTW, my pen is yellow also - just a terrific color!
I saw jg3's review. It intrigued me but your review sold me on it. I do not have a hooded nib like this. The closest I have is the MaJohn TI 500 which I believe is considered semi hooded. The price is excellent and the build quality looks great. Thanks for telling us how to get the spring out. I hate that spring as it reduces the ink capacity of the converter. Do you think the pen can be eyedropper filled? Great review, Chris.
Excellent review per usual, thanks! Waiting on the red version to arrive. Agreed, a great price...which is nice. Yes, hooded nibs are useful, I like them.
Glad you liked the C1, too. I like that yellow. Great review as always. All the best, Chris!
Thanks, you too!
I'm waiting for my C1. It's a dark blue pen with black trim. You have made me realise I probably need a few yellow pens, too, Chris!

I hadn't seen this pen before, it's a great colour for the winter and useful to have the hooded nib. Thank you for an interesting review.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for another enjoyable informative review Chris. I saw JG3's review 1st and yours came soon after! And yes, it is on the way!
Hope you enjoy it!

I try to introduce "new" ideas into the videos. Glad you like this one.

All my 565s have aerometric fillers. C1 is not a 565. A smaller, thinner pen. Writes like 601s 7 618s & 51As.
Thanks,Chris! I enjoy your videos. @@chrisrap52

Thanks for sharing and confirming. Appreciate the input.
Thanks for this great review. I hope Hongdian just goes nuts with color and nib choices.
I hope so too!

Great review, Chris.
No eye-dropper. With metal & plastic liner, would be messy at best. Thanks for watching. Enjoy your pens.

useful, I like them.
Thanks for watching!
That yellow really "pops", as they say. I enjoy a hooded nib so this pen interests me. I was surprised at the price. Expected it to cost more.
I'm so early it ain't hd yet. xD
Watch again in HD.

Just ordered one based on the review. They go for $9 nowadays.
Good choice, enjoy.
