Max Emerald Piston Fill Flex Nib FP

I love the nib creapers and have had great experiences with them. This one was great, right out of the box. The green is a light/transparent green, it hold a nice amount of ink, and it wrote great. The nib takes a few flexes to "soften up". Will definitely buy another.

Its a bit smaller than I'm used to, and the refillable ink thing is also small. The nib flexes ok, so, overall ok to use, but I'm not using it very much.

I have three Noodler's Creapers. I bought the first in 2012 and, after fiddling with the nib and heat setting the feed, it worked reasonably well. It was my first flex nib pen and I liked it. In fact, I liked it enough that I put another on my wishlist.My wife bought me my second one for Christmas. No matter how much I fiddled with the nib or how many times I set the feed, the flow was terribly inconsistent. It would railroad constantly and off just not write at all. I tried several different inks and none improved matters.So, I thought maybe I just got a bad pen and ordered another. It's no better than my second one.That's two out of three pens that are utterly worthless and one that's, frankly, just ok.Also, these pens have scratchy nibs and they tend to stink when you first get them. It must be the material they are made of. The stench goes away after awhile, but it's very unpleasant.My advice: pay twice as much and get a decent flex nib pen. The extra money will more than pay for the frustration that comes with a Creaper, and the time, probably wasted, that you'll spend trying to get it to work consistently.

I had trouble with this pen but I LOVED working w PENBOUTIQUE. They worked with me on several occasions, were very nice and gracious about replacing the pen and helping me figure out a problem I was having w another pen. The easiest and most pleasant return I have ever had.

Pen writes OK, I bought it for the flex nib which is ok. Not as good as a dip pen, but is good for practicing calligraphy. The only real issue is that the pen barrel smells terrible. I tried putting it in baking soda, wrapping it in a dryer sheet, and just letting it air out for a few days. Nothing worked, still smells like something that got dug out of a septic system. Not something you want to carry around with you.

Workhorse pen. messy and leaks I love nib pens but this one will probably only be used occaisionaly, for now.

Exactly what I expected - thank you
