Pilot Explorer Fountain Pen - Lime

Christmas presents

I love my Explorer so I decided to get one for each of my daughters in their favorite color. I also got them some ink.

Great Pen Held Back By Bad Cap

I absolutely love how this pen writes. I appreciate the consistency of the Pilot nibs, which have been so smooth and reliable. I ordered the Explorer with the Con 70 converter, intending to use it as an EDC pen for work. Since I have received it, it has been on my nightstand with a small notebook for jotting down the odd note. A few days ago, the cap of the pen stopped clicking into place. There is almost no detente or resistance felt now when you cap the pen, and the slightest touch releases the cap from the body. I can no longer expect to use this pen, which is very disappointing. I know it is a cheap $23 pen, but it is only days old. I received it 7 days ago! It is impossible to carry this pen anywhere and expect the cap to remain in place. It is an ink disaster waiting to happen. So very disappointing.

Light but robust

I love been able to use the Con-70. While I like the weight of the Metropolitan, this is a good EDC pen.
