I bought a black one of these awhile back, when i first tried it out i was not a fan. The thing streaked like crazy so it ended up sitting on my desk looking neat. Recently i decided to take the thing out and see i i could get it writing well, i hit some signs and newspaper machines and then abused it a little on some raw wood, now this thing kills, its also perfect size to take everywhere! I think the nib was simply a little to stiff or dense out of the box to flow well so if you get a streaky one just work the nib a little and it might fix it. I was also a little worried about the glass body but ive dropped mine 10+ feet onto to concrete and the dam thing literally bounced and it didnt even chip the glass so i think these might be borosilicate glass (pyrex/pipe glass) Also the black magic ink plays nice with black pilot if you prefer that refill, but the marker will drip on the first couple tags if you really fill it good, mixing magic ink and pilot also seems to be a good way to stay nice and opaque and shiny and still give the buff man a bad day.

Pilot is a classic permanent ink, respected for its smooth flow and opaque formula. Pair this refill

here's a free AWSOME marker recipe if your low on cash, go to your local Walmart and you will likely find pen+gear brand black chisel tip markers for less than 50 cents for a 2 pack. pull it apart, let the nib dry out and find something round to rolling-pin the poop ink out of the cartridge, then just FLOOD both with black pilot ink(i held the cartridge upright and filled it slowly until it dripped out the bottom, and covered the nib in ink until it would not absorb more) it will streak at first just run a few lines on smooth paper with a little more pressure than normal and after a few lines this marker kills, just keep it flooded and stick to smooth surfaces like slaps, glass, painted metal, etc. best for slaps if you ask me. also pilot ink is just great in general, try it in permanent marker you can get your hands on!
