smooth as butter. For most surfaces (painted metal, painted light pole, etc) this is the perfect streaker. I don't like using these on rough surfaces though, for rougher surfaces I prefer a mop so that I can get more solid lines (streaker tags will have holes in there from the uneven surface)  5 of 5 Stars!

Magic ink is a great brand! I Love their solid markers. Yellow is cool and so is black. The yellow is more of a banana color witch is cool and they do streak a little bit but that’s to be expected with solid paint markers. definitely a good buy. There not that big witch is nice. I love how if you ruin the tip tagging you can twist the bottom to bring more paint up. GANKO INK WILL REIGN SUPER FOR ETERNITY!!!  5 of 5 Stars!

Really loved using this marker. I got the blue and was surprised how bright it was. When out at 3 am with little light I can still see what I was writing which is such a great thing. I LOVE how it smells and got dang they write smooth and buttery. I saw another comment saying they should add a clip on the cap for holding onto your pocket, that would be so crucial. I would also love to see all five sold as a set for like $12 that would be hella primo.  5 of 5 Stars!

After a couple of shipping mishaps I finally got mine in, and it was a really fun marker to use. Super smooth writing, nice smell, and the blue was really bright and popped. Def recommend grabbing one or two. They are perfect size for your pockets, and as such run out kinda fast but def worth the $3.  5 of 5 Stars!

The perfect streaker body. The AP streaker is probably definitively better value for the money, however the body of this marker is perfect in length and scrolls up and down unlike the sakura. The body is slimmer and shorter than an AP solid making it the ideal candidate for your pocket.

The great thing about this streaker though, is it's re-usability. I've almost chewed through mine in about one night of heavy bombing, but with your AP solid or hobo and you can cut part of it off. Heat the solid paint to a fairly viscous liquid in a can or a throw away vessel (be very careful when you handle it). And pour it into the body of this marker. It'll also help save some streaker paint too cause the body's diameter is smaller and it'll be more pocket friendly. You'll also not need to pick the scab of your hobo markers because of the lid. I'm sure you can do swirly splits with this method too.

Pick it up. You'll get tons of value out of it, and a very welcome addition to your daily toolkit.  5 of 5 Stars!

ive only tried the blue. Super creamy, blows the sakura straight out the water. The ap streaks are still a better cop though, mainly cuz they're like double the size of these. If you're looking for something super cutty tho, this is the go to for sure, try em out you wont regret it. as for UV resistance, top dollar, absolutely fade proof. held up over a year in south american sun.  5 of 5 Stars!

My introduction to streaks! GR mentioned these recently in the 5 for $20 video. He's dead on about how buttery they are-- perhaps more creamy-sticky than an AP Solid-- even in the winter.

A very fun write, my biggest gripe is how little paint it holds. The twist-up mechanism takes up half its size. One may melt paint into the snazzy plastic tube: 1 hobo marker can refill this marker ~3.5 times.

Rough surfaces might chew more off than something oil based, but the lines it lays are striking! Colors hold up for months even in sun and weather.

Pickup yellow!  5 of 5 Stars!

these are the best solid marker i have ever used. i normally use mean streaks but wanted a good black marker and these write just as smooth but are way less messy because of the cap. you are able to get very fine lines for tags in any nook and cranny you can find, which is a problem i have with markal or hobo style markers. while it is a smaller marker, i expect it to last just as long because less paint will end up on my hands and pockets! i will have to wait and see how my tags hold up compared to the mean streak but i expect them to do just fine! they also look very inconspicuous because of the design, and fit in your pocket better than a mean streak. I have never used a sakura so i am not sure how they compare, but these cost less so i would highly recommend! i wish i had ordered a few more!  5 of 5 Stars!

I've gotta say these are my favorite streakers yet! So smooth and they have a scent that says, "I'm gonna do my job and be around here for a while" Not to mention that body of these is a little more comfortable in my pocket and a bit less of a red flag when you've got it in your hand. The only thing I wish SOMEONE would do is put a pocket clip on their streaker! Then they wouldn't slide down into your pocket and make you have to fish around to get it out from between your keys and if you're like me, numerous other marking devices. If you haven't tried these yet, I suggest you get on it, you won't regret it.  5 of 5 Stars!

I've only tried red.

This is a great streaker. It's smaller than a sakura or AP solid, but it's also a bit cheaper. It's very soft, definitely competitive with the AP solid for the softest and butteriest streaker. The ganko streaker has excellent opacity and fast dry time, just like its competitors. I also think that its body is less conspicuous than other streakers, looking more like a regular pen or marker. This is aided by the Japanese label, which is indiscernible to most people.

Unlike a sakura, you can freely retract the stick back as much as you like, and the advance/retract mechanism feels smoother and requires less force than any other I've tried. The cap is also a nice click on style, rather than the press-fit of other brands, making it easier to remove. I think we've all had a sakura or ap solid cap get stuck for a moment, which is a minor complaint, but worth mentioning.

My biggest criticism is the small color palette. Sakura and AP solids come in many more colors. However, if you're looking for one of these 5 classic colors, try one out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'll definitely be back when I'm looking for more.  5 of 5 Stars!

Hands down one of the best solid markers out there. Writes super smooth as if it were butter. I prefer these over the Sakura. The yellow is a nice yellowamd holds up pretty well in the sun. Love how you can twist the marker back down. He'll even my name comes out way better! This is a must buy!  5 of 5 Stars!

These are my favorite steakers, but have some drawbacks. Pros: great size for the pocket and feel good in the hand. Super smooth in temperatures be above 40* or so. No sludgyness or skipping like some streakers. Twist back down for clean recapping. Cons: Not much material for you money, AP solids give you almost double the writes. Not great in comd weather, AP. steaks crush these in the winter. Not a wide color selection, although the available colors are fantastic. Not compatible with splitting, the base doesnt come our of the body. None the less these are my streaker of choice in most any condition.  5 of 5 Stars!

Bought me a black one when I was in Seattle, burned it up in a night of going out and after trying these on many surfaces I have come to the conclusion that they are the Sakura killer.

Ended up getting one of every color now, I’d say the only markers that can even close to compete with this are the HOBO markers that AP makes.  5 of 5 Stars!

Buttery and perfect for the pocket. Compact size but you can probably get about 50 tags out of each one. Great feature is being able to twist it up and down as you please. i would recommend twisting all the way down once you’re done writing so the cap sits flush again.  5 of 5 Stars!

Bought every color except yellow. These boys are BUTTER. So sick. Keep them on mostly smooth surfaces though, rough stuff will eat them up. Just a tiny bit shorter than Sakuras, but just as good. My new goto streak.  5 of 5 Stars!

Bought the black, yellow and white. My review, these things are great! Just like sakura and the mean streaks. BUtter and soft work great on freights! As for the streets treat em like a streak , I personally think these work best on smooth surfaces other wise its like a mop on hard brick!  5 of 5 Stars!
