I had earlier used the regular Parker vectors as a kid, and this Parker Vector XL is much better sized for my current hand size. The nib is smooth and ink flow is decent. The barrel is made of plastic (unlike the regular Parker Vector), rest of the pen is i think made of Aluminum (similar texture to Lamy Safari's aluminum body pens).
I originally order 2 packages of ink refills and there were a quantity of 2 in each pack. So total of 4 refill cartridges. My original deliver only had 1 packet with 2. I emailed to let the seller know, they apologized and said they’d send the 2nd packet. When I received the 2nd delivery, there was only 1 single refill cartridge loose in the delivery.package. So I only received 3. Didn’t notify the seller a 2nd time because I was too frustrated.
