okay, this review goes for the big one and the pocket sized one, the picture is decieving because the body has changed, neither of them leak, the nib that it comes with is crap, but a high flow nib will change that, maybe its the fancy name of the nib or something else but the high flow nibs work,, if you buy one after the date of this review you will notice that your marker has a cool plastic label on the body tube, on the pocket version there is a level meter for easy filling. there is a 1 level then a 2 level then the next level says full i usually fill mine a little lower than the full,,, if you do fill it on full, it will flood the nib and make a mess when you juice the nib, this marker works great if you put smash to the 1 level then garvey to the 2 level, then finish it off with white marsh,,
basically, this marker is a beast, make sure you get some high flow nibs and follow the filling levels
p.s. the small one is way better, and both of them have the sidekick cap system
. k-71 its a really good marker, but not good ink. i dont know what happened but the silver outright sucks, the silver ink is way too thick for the marker itself, when i got my silver one it wrote good, but every time i juiced up the nib it dripped ink from the tip of the plastic where the plastic ends and the nib starts, garvey fixed my problem, plus its a sexy purpley silver,, also. no matter what kind you get, if ou try to unscrew it before you use it it wont open.. usually its glued on one side so get a pair of pliers, take the cap off and twist with the pliers, smash doesnt need to be thinned down too much to go in here, the black is hardcore
basically,, the krink ink sucks especially the silver, but overlook that because this valve system and the marker itself are amazing, highly recomended..(apreply) I have seen this happen with silver markers since day one. Unis silvers have this happen sometimes. So do the little silver shakers. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. But it can happen. a little dilution with Garvey and your good.
This is probably the dopest marker out in my opinion. First of all, its made by molotow, which most always means it will be a quality product. Secondly, it is pocket sized which I like because I think for one their easier to travel with, and two, I get better control of the marker with the shortened body. It also has a really durable 15mm nib that is replaceable, You can either just buy the nib itself, or you can by a brand new head. It is also a nice marker in design, It has a strong body and the flow master valve system which works really well. Plus its refillable and easy to refill. You just twist off the head and pull out the valve and pour in the ink, easy rite.
Now for how it writes. It is a chizel tip marker so you can write skinny and fat. Hell, you can do both. It writes on most surfaces and you will be hard pressed to wreck the nib unless you really try. Im not saying, go write everything on brick, but if you wanted to, it wouldn't effect it much at all. You can use a variety of inks in this, I would use the either the molotow One4All, or the OTR 484 Refill ink. You can use smash but from what I have heard you will need to thin it out for it to work properly.
So I would highly recommend this marker and the full size one if your more into regualr size markers.
This can is the sh*t!! The other burner colors are good too, (I wish they made brass kinda), but this copper is smokin. It covers over any and everything. (On a side note, you really should check out the coversall blacks if you want to use the metallic burners for fills. Listen to what they say when they say "it's pretty much the only thing that will cover it".) Not that I care, but the silver pocket burners I got had mixing balls (which is good, I WANT to mix the paint,..especially chromes,etc.) so if you want to be all toy and stealthy, your parade's gonna need raincoats.
Yo this is a top of the line marker u no why?well the nib is nice and fat and u can write on the side for fine lines also u can flip the nib around once it wears down (which takes forever!) any way the eazy click cap on this is nice and airtight no leaks from juicy nibs the other state of the art part is the nasty pumpvalve in this badboy oh and don't get me started on the screw on body with nice thick threads that prevents leakage! So if u want a worth while empty marker that is really just top of the line grab this from the greatest graff company in the u.s. So buy one u won't regret the best 5$ you'll ever spend....put artprimo shops in jersey foreal!!!peace(apreply) We are in Manhattan homie! Come on over and say hello.
If I could replace all my fingers and toes with sakuras I would be the happiest robocop looking mother out there. Goes on smooth, dries quick, looks great. In my humble opinion, infinitely better than markalls.
