Jinhao with #5 nib

[mke]

Which Jinhao fountain pen with a #5 nib exists where the nib can be exchanged as easily as the #6 nibs in Jinhao 159/X450/X750?

How about the Jinhao 5000?

Thank you

Jinhao 9026, Jinhao 51a open nib version, and of course the much loved and hated 992 , there are other lesser / student pen grade models from the Mfr taking no 5 nibs but I doubt those interest at all ..

 

If you are just after a solid pen body to host a certain no 5 nib , try Hero's non student / stationary range instead , generally I've found them better pens.

I have a number of #5 nibs and look for a nice pen to use them with.

Are all Jinhao friction-fit?

 

I tried to remove a nib of a Baoer 3035 the way I change the nib of a Jinhao X750. I failed.

The Baoer 3035 would be a nice pen to use with my spare nibs.

In my collection is one color missing unfortunately. I also found out that Hero sometimes licensed Baoer/Jinhao pens - the four on the left are Hero 3035.

My Jinhao 992 has a nib unit that can be screwed out, but I can also pull out just the nib pretty easily.

...

 

All of the newer model, AFAIK, use screw in nib unit but can easily had the nib pull off and be retrofitted with other no.5 friction fit style. The older models is all just friction fit.

 

Nicer pen bodies , well , as for them , it depends , would you want metal or Acrylic , or others , slim or fat .. most Chinese brand had pens that take no.5

How does the 3035 write?  Did it require any nib smoothing?  I have never noticed the Hero 3035.

The Jinhao 75 also uses a #5 friction fit nib.  Easy to remove nib & feed for cleaning.  On Amazon

the Jinhao 75 is called the Jinhao Chainmail.

They all are M - while my preferred size is Japanese F or Jowo EF. So, I more or less abandoned using them. 

The Baoer is on the drier side. A bit of improving the ink flow would certainly not be bad. 

 

But meanwhile, the Hongdian pens with wet F and EF nibs provide what I want.

Thanks. I find it so interesting how each FP collector has their very particular preference.  My preferred nib

is the med.  Will tolerate a fine/med.  Not partial to a true fine nor EF nib (larger handwriting).  Also enjoy writing

with the 1.1 stub nib.  Like yourself, definitely do not like dry nibs, however, love the fact I'm able to tweak a nib

to make it a wetter writer.

The 599 Lamy Safari style/tribute also uses a friction fit #5 nib and feed.
