This is a GREAT little TOOL for a graff artist. If your on a walking route or need something small, concealable and fast...This is for you. There is only 1 downfall that I can think of...The nibs tend to wear out very fast depending on the surface you write on. Writes best on smooth surfaces, STOP SIGNS, WINDOWS, SMOOTH METAL,TRASH CANS, SOME POST BOXES, etc. Bumpy surfaces tear the nib with ease. Also make note that when using XLENE based ink the tube tens to SWELL up! May even open in your pocket, I only read about that it never happened to me...but they are messy. Gloves work wonders when using this.
As for writing, this thing is FLUID!!! In my opinion from using Krink products to using these. These mops give you more bang for the buck. I am not saying KRINK is no good...but if your on a low budget and want to get your moneys worth. 2 of these, a 8 oz of smash ink with a few packs of nibs and your good to go. (Nibs will come out after 2nd, 3rd, or 4th refill. It gets stuck to the cap...Also nibs dry out with XLENE ink)
Lastly, by learning the hard way I found out that STEEL BLITZ ink is NOT COMPATABLE with this! I REPEAT... NOT COMPATABLE WITH THIS MINI CRUSHER. I learned the hard was by placing my very first order from art primo. It was 2 mini crushers, some nibs, and a 8 oz STEEL BLITZ. When I got the package and tried using it there was noooo way the ink would come through the nib. Even if I poked holes... NOTHING. So it was a waste because after writing Art Primo I was then notified they are NOT compatible. So none the less I had to place another order of things that were compatible. Smash ink works well and I have also used BIC PEN homemade ink which also works very well. The thinner the ink the better. I made sure to list that detail just incase so I can help someone else not make the same mistake. ENJOY!(APREPLY) The Steel Blitz Marker is available empty. Why not just get one of those?
