Big Squeeze Replacement Nib by typa - A Top 10 Reviewer! 04/08/2013
Big Squeeze Replacement Nib came back from a route rockin a kiwi mop.. if any nib should be sold in packs of 5 it should be this one for a couple of reasons: $1.25 is too much for a nib that has the shortest life span out of all the mop nibs so it should be sold at a price that encourages buying it instead of racking it (which is easy as sh*t)

pros: with the right ink, i prefer money shot or t-grade, both with a touch of garvey and if you're feeling classy n ballin go for speedflow. it's a powerful graff marker. drippy round lines over an inch wide command attention especially if your letter style is legible because it will be read by the general public. of course location is a key factor. another reason i like these is because they limit me to big, smooth surfaces in case i get a little tag happy so i just bike around scoping not only smooth surfaces but strategic spots as well.

watching my boy catch a tag with a kiwi mop is what turned me on to graff. i found it fascinating that you could take chunk of public space and make it yours with such a small marker.

Sakura Solid Markers by typa - A Top 10 Reviewer! 03/28/2013
Sakura Solid Markers one of the most effective and functional tagging tools around. i gave one of these to my boy along with a pilot jumbo to get him started. i figured anything that doesn't require pumping the nib or squeezing the marker would be perfect for a beginner so the focus is placed more on the tag rather than getting the marker to function. the idea is to move him past the toy phase as fast as possible lol

i haven't tried the other streaker brands that ap carries so i can't compare them but i can recommend the sakura colors i found to be the smoothest and most fade resistant
-blue
-green
-red
-purple

-black looks boring and chances are you already have a black ink marker that will do a better job
-white looks like chalk on textured surfaces. but looks dope on smooth, dark surfaces.
-the fluorescent and lighter colors don't write as smooth and they fade much faster (especially the fluorescent colors)

Molotow Cocktail - Coversall by typatag - A Top 10 Reviewer! 01/23/2013
Molotow Cocktail - Coversall the cocktail inks are the highest quality black inks available.. nuff said

now here's a little recipe for the most effective black marker i've ever used. for big, eye candy, bleed through tags with no streaks in a pocket size marker:

- pocket version of a jumbo pump marker (molotow makes the best jumbo pumps)
- a 20mm t-nib
- a bottle of coversall (no additives needed! expect the quality you should get from a $22 dollar glass bottle of ink)

this marker bombed so hard that i started to use other markers less and coversall instantly became my favorite. it's basically a better version of otr's cold sweat marker. i refilled my black k-71 with this and it worked great. keep the nib juiced and write lightly for the best results with both markers.

because of its price, it's not the most ideal ink for big mops like the 4 ounce kiwi or soul tip unless you ration your squeezing or you have extra the money to burn. in either case i'd go for the speedflow for better drips.

Pixo 38 Replacement Chisel Nib - Single by typa - A Top 10 Reviewer! 12/10/2012
Pixo 38 Replacement Chisel Nib - Single for the diy marker geeks___ i take a razor and CAREFULLY cut these nibs horizontally to make them flat. i do this so i don't have to adjust my hand at an angle when i catch a quick tag. that was the only thing i didn't like about this style of nibs. now i use my k-71 a lot more. and i'll be using it even more when i get the smaller k-72 marker and fill it with some of that delicious speedflow ink.

i asked the guys at art primo to carry these a while back when i found them at a shipping supplies website. now they carry them. you guys are awesome.

Molotow Cocktail - Speedflow by typa - A Top 10 Reviewer! 11/25/2012
Molotow Cocktail - Speedflow hands down the best black ink i've ever used (both speedflow and coversall). it doesn't fade, stains the best, smooth and consistent which means no streaks with a juiced wide nib. this stuff is MEAN, like they had some hardcore german chemists work on the formula. it even smells good haha.

you don't need any additives like garvey or staining powders with this stuff, it would only knock down the qualities i mentioned.

Marsh T Grade Ink Quarts by typa - A Top 10 Reviewer! 11/25/2012
Marsh T Grade Ink Quarts if you're into fat, drippy mop tags and you're on a budget, this is the ink for you. for $30 dollars you get a quart of the infamous t-grade juice, that's almost 4 of those 250ml bottles that sell for $15 to $20 each. the quality and quantity of this stuff is definitely what has made it popular in the tagging subculture for ages. i'd say most if the ink marsh makes is used by writers.

i can't even stress how dope the white t-grade is. it's xylene based so it's like getting a quart of the white smash ink for $35 and it can be mixed with other smash colors as well.

also, this site is selling it at a great price. i've seen t-grade sell for $50 at a "graff shop" in SF.. like the average writer has $50 to spend on ink alone.
