The Filling System 10/10
I love it. Simple, clean, easy, and fool proof. This is my second favourite to the Pelikan piston. It works well and it seems to hold a ton of ink.
I loved my Hero 100.......but just this evening, I pulled the cap off and found ink all over the section. Turns out, the section had cracked and ink was leaking out of the pen. I'm quite sad as I used my 100 more than just about any pen I've got - maybe even more than my 51. I'll definitely be buying a new one soon, but I am curious as to why the section broke. I don't remember dropping the pen or anything other abuse. Oh well, at least they're affordable!
Mine was a butter smooth writer, and I'll be saving the nib in case my new one doesn't match up - then I can just swap this one in with any luck.
Hi Ryan,
I introduced the Hero 100 to the US many years ago, and sold it for 7 or 8 years. It was always one of my best sellers. I ceased doing so about 3 years ago due to frequent cracking of the sections (about 25 percent of those imported). This was due to using a thinner shell than in previous years.
So, unfortunately, I'm not surprised.
My 100 flighter writes extremely well. But just recently it started drying out between uses. I think the blind cap is designed poorly, so that a loosening of the clip causes it not to be airtight.
