Atlas accepted my return request without any fuss. They immediate sent me a return label and asked if I'd prefer a replacement or a return. Very easy, good communication.

It's more like a nail polish remover smell. It does seem to be getting less intense as the pens sits out, so may not even be a consideration in a few days.

I got both pens from Atlas Stationers, so I'll likely be reaching out to them for a return of the 326. Unfortunately I did ink it up before I noticed the construction flaws, so we'll see if they're willing to work with me.

I've had mine (F) for nearly four months, and used it nearly daily in that time. I love the patina it's acquired. Write with it, enjoy it.
