I agree. I have some of the versions from jinhao and they dry out quicker. Bought another A1 without the clip and loving it thus far. I’m a bit disappointed in the A3 though. Maybe I got a dud, but the mechanism feels stiff and is hard to actuate with one hand. Either something is too tight, or the spring is too weak. Maybe it will run itself in with time.
