Beautiful pen, but does the cap stay on?
2024021
Yes. It has a very tight CLICK. I wish that they came with a screw on, like some of the older ones, but having said that, the snap on is very snug. It will not just come off in a handbag or pocket.

The cap when covering the nib is very secure. When the cap is on the end of the pen it can withstand a few rigorous shakes before coming loose, but if you are just writing it will not even move. I am by no means a pen expert, i just bought this pen cause it looked cool but it turned out being a really sturdy pen as well.

It doesn't stay on very firm when you are writing quickly, it will fall off. It clicks on tightly to cover the nib and I haven't had it fall off in my bag.

Yes the cap does, and it is a beautiful Pen if your looking for a script type writing tool I would say this is not it, it is very bold and the ink will run if your composition comes in contact with moisture just a heads up.
2024025
Yes. If you press until you hear a click then it won't come off without you deliberately taking it off.

Your most welcome. if I may make a suggestion: use the cartridges. Unless your a big journal enthusiast and using the converter a lot. Cartridges seal better. Last longer in a pen that you just use a few times here and there. They are more expensive, but the clean change over, and the longer life in a normally used pen is worth it. I use a converter in my journal pen, which has to be attended to more often, and can cause a mess if your not experienced. But I use cartridges in the pen I carry in my messenger bag...hope this helps helps you. And it will make your experience more pleasant. Respectfully: M.C.

The cap unscrews. It takes a standard Parker pen refill. This was a good choice since the top of the pen does not have rough edges, so your thumb does not get chewed up when "defensive stabbing".

The cap screws on the nib side only. You can cap it when writing, though it is not a perfect fit. I do not cap the pen when writing as it feels better with the cap off

Hmmm. It should just close when you do that. Try taking the top off and messing with it to see if it closes that way. If that doesn't work, you might have gotten a defective cap.

Yes, but I've repeatedly (i.e., about four times) lost pens that somehow unscrewed themselves from the cap. Great pen otherwise.

There are a few Jinhao pens that can "post" the cap. This one is so-so. You can post it, but it will want to wriggle loose as you write. Unposted, the pen is still long enough to be comfortable (and I have big hands). For truly postable Jinhao pens, look for this sort of style... http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Silver-Copper-Fountain-Converter/dp/B00549BV0K/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1391445833&sr=8-7&keywords=jinhao+fountain+pen With some of them, the cap can even be screwed on posted, so they'll never come loose.

Well it should stay on, but if its making a mess point the nozzle up iand pull the plunger slightly. They cram the cap back on. It wont dry out.

The plastic tip on the end of the string fits in the headphone jack. My Snugg case does not have any sort of loop or slot for the pen. It just kind of dangles. It has never come out unless I pulled it out and the cap on the pen is also very secure and has never separated. At first I thought it was a bit weird, but now I like it this way.

The pen retracts when turned counter clock wise. Once this has been done, the pen will not leak. This is a great pen!!

At first, the cap stayed on nice and snug. But now, for me at least, the cap is very loose and isn't strong enough to hold up its own weight, meaning if you have the knife upside-down in a cup or something, the cap will stay in the cup if you pick up the knife. I can't confirm that this will happen every time, however, because I've only owned the one knife.

No, it doesn't stick out at all. It stays in without ever falling out. There is no "cap" that I know of, so I'm not sure what you mean on that.

Yes, the pen writes reliably, immediately, smoothly, and doesn't skip. However, if you leave the cap off for multiple minutes without writing, the tip will dry slightly and may write lightly until it rewets.

No. The bottom is permanent. It doesn't come off. The top zips off so you can reach into the pen.

REAL good question!! I am in love with this pen but worry if there is a replacement tip so I have looked and am sorry to report thru my search if it wears out we are S.O.L. If you find one PLEASE let me know

It has a small translucent cap on the end that does not look like it comes off. But it does come off without trouble. That may be your issue as we tried it with the cap on first too.

No - I bought mine a couple of months ago and one of the little caps falls off - not all the time but it does fall off - very disappointed

Hi Ms. Owens-Harrison, I own these pens and I just tried all of them in response to your question. You should be able to just pull of the caps. It shouldn't take too much force. If you can't get any of the caps off, I would suggest returning them for a new set. Hope this helps.
