    ok so today I bought a wescosa inc, ultra-wide refillable marker....it was ten bucks....I thought it was ok....but I was wrong.....ok so the crap had no ink.....no fucking nib....and its suposed to be refillable, but I can't find where to put my krink in...I think from the bottom, but that shit won't come off.....and I have a feeling the tat shop I got it from has a no return policy....anyone know how to put the krink in, or where I can get a nib to fit?or if I got jipped....hahahaha....thanks....

    You bought it for ten bucks and it came with no ink and no nib, demand a refund or an exhange for another maker or makers to the value of 10 dollars.

    miniwides and ultrawides are my favorite markers.

    they're not supposed to come with ink.

    you take out the nib (pull up) and put your ink in the top with an eyedropper.

    the company that makes ultrawides and miniwides has had some mechanical problems lately, so theres a good chance they were selling them without the nibs, and probably had something saying so and you weren't paying attention.

    artprimo has the nice soft old-school style nibs. they're $2. pick one up.

    also, i haven't had 'paint' per say work in miniwides (havent tried to be honest), but i have used white marsh t-grade which is pigment based (so it's practically paint, since paint is technically pigment based ink) and it's worked. also had krink work. never tried ghetto krink... but anyway.

    yeah, the machine tha tmakes the miniwides is broken, and they don't make them anymore... a sad day for me.

    it has no nib, and they did have reciepts...I thought that looked fucked up...I was looking in it and it looked like maybe the nib was in th botom, but its not.....man the bitch that got it out the counter opened it and then gave it to me....Ill try to return that shit....if they don't take it....I dunno what I'm gonna do....fuck I'm pissed....and confused hahahaha....

    so when one of the ultra wides doesn't have a nib in it, are you able to see inside, or is there something blocking it? because in my pen, if I look where the nid is suposed to go, at the botton there is what looks like it could be the nib, but in back wards....meaning the entire nib is inside of the marker....its kinda hard to say, and I don't have a digital camera.....ugh...hahaha I feel real stupid....


    another thing.....um.about ink/krink, I'm kinda confused...ok so I have some crome paint, brake fluid and paint thinner.....is that krink, ghetto krink or just crap? it is pretty watery, but I haven't been able to real try to write with it, because of this whole pen thing......it also smells alot....anyone know of a way to make it not smell? so I can use it on busses and stuff....eh...thanks for you help guys.....

    that stuff you have is ghetto krink. real krink is a commercial product made by a writer named KR and sells for quite a high price tag. www.Krink.com for more info.

    the inside of miniwides and ultrawides has an absorbant material which absorbs the excess ink, just like the insides of pilot supercolors or most other markers that don't work on a valve/pump system. this is what you're seeing inside. this allows the ink to be inside the marker without it being in flowing liquid form which would saturate your nib and drip out. this way the absorbant material absorbs the ink, and it 'diffuses' into the nib... clean lines with no mess.

    if you can't return it, buy a nib from art primo, those old school nibs kick ass. if that doesn't work, well, steal one off another ultrawide, nobody will notice. unless it's a graff shop... then think consciously about stealling from them...

    when you pull the nib out there is nothing blocking it from the inside of the marker, what your seeing is just the foam that soaks up the ink.



    and what you made is "ghetto krink"....it wont work.

    yep.

    pretty much everything will work in a kiwimop.

    try getting a nib for that ultrawide though. the 'waves' you can put in your tag with a marker like that is just pure style.

    yeah I'm going tomorow, if they say they wont give me a free nib, or wont let me trade my shit in Ill try to rack one...but I dunno how that will work, all their sprays,markers and ink is behind the counter....is art primo an online store? I'm still under 18 so I don't have a credit card, and I'm poor so I wouldn't have one anyways hahahaha.....it sucks, I don't know of anyother places in sf where I can get markers like this, or spray for as cheap as it is there.....

    art primo is online, www.artprimo.com

    perhaps you could email the folks at artprimo and see if they'd take a money order so you could pay that way?
