Platinum Preppy vs Noodler's Ahab

Again, though, not going for pretty or sexy. I just want a decent writer that won't break the bank if it has to be replaced. The price of the converter was more than the pen, but because it allows me to use whatever ink I want I have no complaints about that. My total cost for pen and converter was less than $15

Overall kind of poor quality build. Buy this for the nib, not the rest of the pen. It smells really bad and kind of turns me off entirely.

Otherwise, go back to ballpoint, but know that you really didn’t engage with fountain pen in the way that’s intended.

The smell of this pen is horrible, it made me think something was wrong my my noodlers ink, nope. Its the weird plastic in this pen, i tried washing it off the pen - it helped but not nearly enough. Noodlers really needs to stop using whatever they are using in that plastic. bleh
