As mentioned before, these markers are at their prime when the nib is flared. If you dont know how to do this, grab a needle or pushpin or something, stick it directly down into the nib from the top, kind of near an edge, now bend the needle out to the side and pull a little section of felt out to the side... repeat this all around the edge until it is nice and fat! Enjoy!
Anyone complaining about the noise of the rattling ball inside, it is a steel ball so a little disc shaped magnet on the bottom will silence it. I got a grip of these magnets at the hardware store for a buck. krazy glue one on the bottom and youll never even know its there.
anyone complaining about the tight cap, well if you look at the cap from the top down, you will notice the little "wings" of the cap form a cross... take a file and file down one on either side so that you just have two wings opposite each other. this helps you get a better thumb and pointer finger connection on the cap without the other wings digging into your finger joints while twisting. sort of works like a key if you get me...
refilling, two ways to do this... first is with a eyedropper as mentioned in another review... second is to take something like a deco color white and set the pentel on a table so the nib is pointing into the air straight up, take the deco and press its nib directly to the pentels nib... press hard enough so that both nubs retract inside their bodies... the deco white will flow slowly into the pentel white.
you can also just take the nib out and use a nail to hold the valve open while you carefully pour some other sh1t in there
only complaint is that on smooth surfaces this marker sometimes makes a really squeaky noise when its writing and i havent figured out how to stop that yet....
