I have had the same filler before and if you keep this just as well be treated like any other, then the a little longer! Mine has held over 5 years and I have not written a daily basis.
The reason I had to buy a new one to me was simply the missing ring of the cap and the filler together. He's just come eventually lost me and it sucks just already if you want to take his pen like somewhere in a small bag and he would permanently phased out.
The lines are very clear and a smudge happens rarely or even never!
Also very nice is the template's Calligraphy. It is easy to understand for anyone who has just begun.
All in one of these promises filler good quality at an almost utopian reasonable price!
A little tip: If you do not often use a pen and the ink dries inside: It harms the filler in any way, if you hold the tip under running water until the ink is nearly out. Then just the tip of something so dab a little water goes out with NEM pocket or kitchen towel. A few write tests ... then it works perfectly again. Disassemble senseless or squeeze the tip on a piece of paper or umherkritzeln with the "filler" is useless!
