The positives: I love writing with these pens! I ordered and received a blue caps flex and a red caps extra fine and they both write perfectly, loving that aspect.
The not-so-great: The celluloid smell coming off these pens is so strong it bothers my eyes, making them sting. This is especially true on the red caps model. I hope the smell dissipates soon as I really like writing with it.
On my blue caps model, the silicone grease on the piston was applied in a thick and gloppy fashion. It's kind of an eyesore to look at but it doesn't seem to be reacting with the ink so I'm putting up with it.
DSpaceNineHi DSpace, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your Guru pens. You might try soaking the pens in a mild bleach water mixture overnight to help with the smell. It also decreases over time. And here is a video on how to disassemble the Guru so you can wipe off some of the extra silicone grease. Sorry we didn't notice that. https://fprevolutionusa.com/pages/fpr-guru-instructions-video

FountainPenRevolutionExcellent, thank you for the fast reply! I'll give these ideas a try. One thing is for sure, I intend to explore many more of FPR's pens, very impressed with the overall build quality.
