I was ripped off!!

The Prera dropped to $27.48!!! I could've saved $5!!! 😭

At $27.48, a price which includes the converter, the Prera is actually a pretty good deal. It writes the same as the Kaküno, but has a tighter sealing cap with a more compact profile. For me, though, the Kaküno remains the superior pen, because it can use the higher capacity CON-70 converter, whereas the Prera is stuck with the CON-40.

(A note: some people can't seem to figure out how to use the CON-40. The trick to getting a full fill on the CON-40 is to pull the plunger only half way up on the first fill, turn the nib up, then draw the ink from the feed into the converter by pulling the plunger all the way back. Then, with the nib still up, expel the air in the feed by pushing the ink up until the ink saturates the feed, after which you can fill as normal. Basically, take class on how to use syringes. It's the same concept.)

I'm just boggling over how the Prera price fluctuates between $20+ to $70. It's nuts.
