At first glance, there appears to be something wrong with your pen’s cap because it has a hole in it. Fear not, because this was totally done on purpose, and no it’s not because the company wants the pen to dry out and force you to buy more. They are actually there so that air can flow through in the event the cap is swallowed accidentally by a child or adult. Remember, a lot of adults have the bad habit of putting pen caps in their mouth and it only takes one bad move until the cap ends up in the back of their throat.
