This is my first review in years but man, NY dudes really on to something with this marker. Picked up a couple after seeing all the hype and all the videos and turns out that it really is just as crispy as it looks. Good size body, similar to a Uni, no mixing ball, came all the way filled, nib is fat and fully double sided (both bullet tips) so makes a great marker to flair an end and flip it when it’s too beat. Ink is oil based and smells similar to OG pilot 30mls. Ink dries quickly (~2 min) and has a nice in between mat and sheen finish. Still a little reflective but doesn’t look like black glass the way speedflow or others do. Definitely a solid “do it all marker”, good for slaps, streets, books, equipment, whatever. Ink has a little bleed and run on regularly porous paper so may not make the best outline, but not too crazy so still useable there. Over all, I thought I had finally matured and outgrown the “writing on everything around the house” phase, and this marker proved me wrong. Get em while they’re here.

Yo so while I haven't picked one up from AP yet, I've used these bad boys for quite some time already and here's the deal: the sandwich nib plates really do give you the cleanest edges and sharpest lines I've seen on any portable calligraphy tool. The ink free-flows in between the plates which means that it will put out a lot of ink depending on your speed and style so just know that more fibrous and course papers will bleed a bit at stop points. But on anything like parchment or Bristol and you're good. These are well balanced (a lot like a larger quill) and super portable. Also super low maintenance, easy to clean, and with the way you change ink cartridges allows you two ways to blend: 1) you can flood the reservoir behind the nib with one color and then load another color refill behind it for a gradual transition, or 2) you can touch the nib to any other ink color and it will draw a small amount in for small sharp transitions. Either way pick one up for sure to play around with because I've been paying $14.99 and art stores for these baby's and AP is out here takin hits at $7.99 just so you kids can do art.
P.s. You can use the small edges of the nib for small detail work, I think it's .3mm

So like the other reviews said, this marker is bad@$$. It definitely does take some getting used too but the flows great and gives you plenty of creative options for your calligraphy or calligraffiti based handstyle. That being said, in all honesty I seem to have trouble understanding what the true purpose of this marker is. Given that it's filled with covers all (which again is still bad@$$), this marker has bled like crazy on every type of paper I've used (multimedia, Bristol, parchment, and slightly on canvas) it really seems to write best on harder more polished surfaces like glass, plastics, metals, and ceramics. It's almost like there's a bombing marker hidden inside a true art marker. Either way, don't let that hinder your decision here, AP has the best price around and for that fact alone you should most definitely pick one up to experiment with, and even enlighten me as to how I can use this dope little guy properly.
Also little pro tip, like with the other aqua molotow markers, you compress/juice the nib using the cap, but since this has that buttery covers all in it, the rim in the cap can get a little gummy, so just make sure to not over pump and to wipe that little section of the cap off real quick after you're done and you'll be Gucci.

Copped the hot pink and the silver and was impressed with everything about both. Bright, opaque, covers well, drips well, good line variability, good price, and neither color faded. Here's an idea for some of you kids out there; the paint is already xylene based so since you don't have to worry about the marker body warping too much, if at all, and if you find yourself bumme by the lack of shiny markers you has after you kill the silver, try filling these up with some liquid gold of silver leaf. Works great, flows well and looks pretty nifty too

This thing is sick, not the easiest to refill once you snap the valve on but that's the end of the bad right there. Perfect size for slaps, nib stays sharp and clean, good for little cutty spots I suppose too. Better with thinner inks so maybe slow your role with the marsh or paints (tho I bet those could all still work, just wouldn't be as juicy). Grab one of these, some black pilot refill or speed flow, pack o' eggshells, and you're set for awhile.

Bruhhhhhhhhhh. These things are killer as can be. Stock pink dot is stupid fat with the high pressure valve doin it's thang in there. This is a fill in magician, covers anything with lightning speed. Rain snow, ice (literally have gotten up on iced over dumpsters), heat, and any paint/ink under it. You can blow through the 150ml pretty quick but that's cool since ap has the homie price on em. Scoop up a few of these, some coversall, some cap packs and you're set.
Also, WEAR GLOVES, unless you wanna roll around lookin like you finger banged a fairy. Sparkles are only cool on the wall and the clubs kids, not your digits.

If they made these full sized and consistantly instead of limited, the marker game would be over. This is the best marker I've used, hands down. (And I've spent over 700$ on sh*t from ap. and killed every thing I've used). This thing flows like no other, and covers so perfect. The way the nib let's the ink flow allows you to just cruz over other tags, be it paint or ink. I'm not saying go around toyin it up just crossin people, but if you were in need of a tool for such a purpose, here it is. This thing stains hard, perfect sized and double sided nib incase you want one flared or whatever you want. Btw, won't fade.. like at all.. or ever. Cop one. This over smash ko over krink over all others

I was pleasently suprised as to how good these are. Goes on like butter, but not like melted jello butter that'll smash in your pocket. Although that's all good, their most impressive aspect is the look. Black does. not. fade. Or crack, dry out, or splinter. The silver holds its opacity, and looks like a mirror even after a month of rain and a month of snow. Only problem is keeping it in the little bag and this will dust your fingers pretty good. But the price literally can't be beat, scoop more than one, and enjoy

Not joking about the grip lol but pretty comfortable. Actually writes really thin. Would recommend more for black book though it could be fun otherwise. But would rather use an otr super fresh for a small street marker
Btw though, solid marker no leaks or runs at all
