Does the cap snap on tight and secure? The cap for the pen I have now (Waterman Phileas) doesn't snap on tightly and has come off while in my pocket. I've ruined 2 shirts this way.

Mike, I purchased the Waterman Expert pen. To date, I have had no problem with the cap becoming loose. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Good luck. Regards, Tom J.

Hi Mike,The Waterman Expert is a beautiful fountain pen that I really love it among my collection. The cap snaps on tight enough not to come off in the pocket, however it's still very easy to take it off by hand.

The cap on my waterman snaps on tight and secure. I never had a problem with it coming loose. I am sorry about what happened to your shirts.

no issues to report with mine, but for the shirt issue I would recommend the "Pilot vanishing point fountain pen" truly great product and I don't think you will have to get a new shirt even if your favorite sport is sky jumping...

The cap is a very snug secure fit while covering the tip or while attached to the barrel in active use.

I have both pens and have not had any trouble with either. I would be very upset if that happened to me. Maybe Waterman can give you some relief from this situation.

No, it doesn't fit. The best I have been able to do is use the clip on the cap to attach it to the pen loop. The elastic band is quite tight and seems best fitted for a slim pen. Maybe it will loosen up in time. Tight fit even for my Sharpie pen.

Hi Jase,I've noticed that if I fill the bottle to capacity there could be some liquid leaking. However, as long as there's some room between the bottom of the cap once fastened all the way, you should have no leaking.Also, could be good to check the rubber seal to see if it's been warped or damaged. If it's looking good, there should be no problem fastening it nice and tight.Hope that helps...

The cap is easily screwed off, but you have to be careful to pull the red latch up or it can catch your finger and give you a good pinch. One of those things that doesn't happen twice though :-)

Yes, like other replies, I had the same problem at first. I saw a picture showing that the separation is just past the clip, which was helpful. I have heard that they get looser and looser over time, so the next question we will be asking is how to get the cap to stay on.

We have had no issue with the cap coming off. We purchased ours in June of 2014.

I believe if held upside down the cap could come off. Unfortunately I can not test as I have donated the item.

The clear plastic cap over the nipple should fit tightly enough that you need to apply a little force to remove it. There is the yellow cap that goes on what would be the bottle end to keep it clean and sanitary on mine I never felt that yellow cap stayed on as well as it should. Unfortunately I only have one of these (didn't work for my baby) so I would say if the clear plastic cap is falling off it is likely damaged.

I would not recommend capping this pen. The threading you see is actually for the piston fill system of this pen. The pen feels much better balanced in the hand without the cap, as the cap is heavy.

It does not snap close. The way cards and cash are held in the wallet nothing has ever fallen out of mine.

I had one issue with a "drippy" pen and that's because it was broken. I got two replacement pens and never had an issue. I screw them on tight enough that my son cannot get them off by himself.. The good thing is, if they ever were to get it off, it's only water and can't harm them.

This is not typical. I have 3 of these and the lid closes very tightly. The plastic snap on cap snaps down hard and tight! So tight that it can be hard to open the white snap cap. As far as the entire "lid" it screw on very tightly as well, no leaks! I would send it back. I can close mine and shake and its very secure!

The plastic tip on the end of the string fits in the headphone jack. My Snugg case does not have any sort of loop or slot for the pen. It just kind of dangles. It has never come out unless I pulled it out and the cap on the pen is also very secure and has never separated. At first I thought it was a bit weird, but now I like it this way.

I tested mine and it is smooth and snug from fully extended to retracted. Sounds like you might be missing the 0-ring on the body of the pen. Get a new one...

If you loosen, or remove, the cap, it's an even flow. Even so, it's not a fast flow as the spout is fairly narrow. I've never found it to be a problem.

Dawn, you made a good choice. I am able to travel internationally and domestically with mine and have never had a problem in security. No disassembling is required - the tip portion is a very tight fit however. Simply pull away the non-pen tip section to expose the pen tip and reverse the cap/clip section. Best, Tony
