these nibs are made of soft sponge, they wear down quickly compared to other mop nibs which is why it's ideal to buy these in bulk. ap used to sell them in a three pack that's more logical than buying them individually for 1.25 each. keep in mind how easy these are to rack. anyway, shoe polish/leather dye mops are classic, it's the fattest round nib you can use but you're limited to smooth surfaces only since it wasn't made for bombing but it's still widely used.
these are about "3.5 long and as wide as your standard jumbo pump marker. once the nib is broken in or flared it writes super smooth. i love this marker but the only thing that sucked was that i thought it wasn't refillable but if you read enough about graff you'll find out that some writers used to refill these markers with ink.
you can refill it by using a pilot ink dropper or any dropper and a long needle. take out the nib, insert the long needle and use the dropper to fill the opening to the top with ink. now keep pressing the needle up and down till the ink sinks down into the marker. repeat till the ink stops going down. this may take a while but you get a pentel shorty filled with the ink of your choice! and it's quieter because you won't have to shake it like you did when it was full of paint.. how dope is this marker now?
you can use this method with any pump action marker that's not refillable like krink's k-70 or the marsh 88.
absolutely nothing special about this marker. just buy a t-nib, grab a razor and cut one corner off horizontally. i've been cutting my nibs like that since i got my first jumbo pump marker, it gives you clean, solid lines and you can do the same with the 15mm nibs as well.
This marker is a must have! its like designed for a baby to go crush the paint inside of it isnt really my cup of tea but once you use that sh*t up fill it up with garvey if ur into insides or garvey and smash FTW!
norte day red + garvey
white privalige + garvey
black attack + garvey
theres more but thats all i can think of you could goto the forums ^^
Copped this the second I saw it on the site! Fat-ass, drippy, calligraphy-style tags... f*ck yes! It's your basic Flowpen, only difference being the new custom nib. It's not revolutionary or anything, but it's a pretty dope marker if you know what you're doing.
