My Two Jinhaos Wrote Instantly After 2 Weeks Sitting

[crossstick]

Probably broke a maintenance rule or two here but... After leaving my 2 Jinhao's at home over 2 weeks vacation both my Jinhao 159 and X450 (left inked and sitting horizontally on a dresser) wrote immediately with no startup effort at all. No shake, no initial scratch, they just started. The 159 contains Noodler's Eel Black and the X450 has Noodler's 54th Massachusetts. Yea Jinhao !

Ideal pens for those that suffer with short term writers block.

Hmmm , yeah !

your average decent pen should do 2 weeks with no issue ..

Now when it comes to a month or two months ...

Thats where the fun starts ..

I have a Parker 45 that has done maybe 6 weeks or more without use and started right away with no issue ( Same with my Moonman m2 )

My Jinhao X750's (2) had dried as had a Indian made Eye dropper .

One X750 started after some coaxing but the other had completely dried as had the Indian eye dropper ..

I expected the Moonman to do well , but the Parker 45 surprised me ..

 

Another pen that is doing well is the Moonman 80mini , it can do 2 weeks with no issue ..

Don't recall the longest it has gone without use , maybe 3 weeks ? Definitely 2 .

I've got some Jinhao 992. They keep really tight. Even after two months I had no problems with skipping, smearing or hard start.
