I've tried silver, black, blue, and red.
Classic marker with one of the best nibs of any marker ever made. There's a reason why it's been adopted by the smash KO, krink, and other brands.
The nib is softer than most, giving it a very unique feel and excellent flow. Streakiness is never an issue.
Try refilling it with other inks or mixing in magic ink or pilot ink for cool cross effects.
Silver is beautiful and shiny. One of the best silvers period.
black is very pure and has almost no tinge of other colors.
blue is intense, opaque, and has an almost electric quality to it in bright daylight.
red is actually fairly deep and slightly maroon, in contrast to the blue. also very opaque for a red.
The main flaw of this marker is the small amount of ink. It's only 1/3 full at most.
If you haven't tried one, you need to.

I've only tried the purple.
It's a big huge alcohol based ink marker with a plastic body. I wasn't impressed by the purple ink. It's not very dark, it's not fade resistant, and it's not even remotely opaque. It isn't streaky. The plastic body is nice in some ways as it won't get dented like a metal body, and if you drop it, it's very quiet.
I would like to try it in black someday, I have a feeling it's better. I may try filling it with OTR hard to buff or something, because I do think the body and nib are totally fine.
to sum it up: Decent marker, lame ink. If it were an empty marker, I'd rate it higher.

Just as good as the other pilot markers, but with a unique nib that's in between the pilot broad chisel and the super jumbo, and very close to the magic ink glass body nib. The nib material is a soft felt like the magic ink glass body or pilot super jumbo.
It's a great little pocket marker with a big nib compared to its body size. It's harder to open it to refill than the other pilot markers, but it is refillable.

This is a very simple marker, but very effective. It's been around for many years, so grab one and try a piece of graffiti history.
The black stripe version (the only one sold here) is xylene based and therefore smelly in enclosed spaces.
The tip is pretty soft, making it easy to write with. It is pretty durable, and can actually be flipped if it gets too beat up.
Black is fairly fade resistant, but the other colors are not, so they're better suited for indoors.
It has no mixing ball and no valve, so it is totally silent, If it's getting streaky, time to juice up the wadding inside. You need to refill it with a flowy ink. You can use the awesome stock pilot ink, but it's also compatible with magic ink or other xylene inks if you wanted to change it up. . Be careful though, as putting too much ink in will make it leak. If you can turn the body upside down (just the metal body and wadding, no tip) for 30 seconds with no dripping, you will be safe.
At $3.50, it's easily the best value for a jumbo marker that's ready to go right when you grab it.

I tried two fills: 100% OTR hard to buff, and 30% OTR hard to buff/70% OTR silver soultip paint.
In general: Feels good in the hand, and isn't too short to hold like a regular marker. It's also nice if you want to put the back end of it into your palm and write that way. Overall, a great shape. The nib is a great balance between soft and durable, and it's a great size for many different situations. It's like a slightly harder bullet tip version of a UNI PX-30 nib. In fact, you might be able to rock a PX-30 nib in this marker.
They made it easy to refill by making the opening wide and incorporating the valve into the portion that screws off, and also made it easy to dump out by having a plastic piece that keeps the marble from falling out. However, you need a roll of tape or something to hold it up while filling it because it has no flat bottom to stand up on its own.
100% OTR hard to buff: This marker writes streak free, totally kicks ass, and can go pretty long before pumping it again.
30/70 mixture: I'm honestly disappointed. I tried this after seeing the green ranger do it, and copied his ratio, but It goes dry after a letter or two. I think I need to keep adding more hard to buff. Maybe I will find the flow I need at 50/50 or more.
I definitely recommend it with a flowy ink like OTR hard to buff or OTR flowpen ink. At $3.50 it's hard to beat.

This is a great product, simple and effective.
I got a few of these in mix packs, and I have been very fond of them for blackbooks and stickers. They have the awesome magic ink black, but in a nice small bullet tip, similar to the pilot bullet tip. It's a great companion to get the fine details that the glass bodies can't achieve. Since I have more than one, I like to keep one very sharp and fresh and one with a beat up tip, allowing for finer and wider lines.
