    Double post, yeah yeah.

    Ok, figured out it was supposed to burn through glass and shit, oh well.



    but still, what else to put it in it? And how do i get the ink out of the cotton? May be a toy question but still, i'm wonderin, never done it before.

    ive never used both... but im preety sure that otr would beat the pilot coz the flowpen is made for drips so u can control them and refill them where the pilot is like a felt ink thingo in the middle. so its liek felt ink

    i need to fix my flowpen. Someone post tutorials on making a nib for a flowpen rather then me taking the time and searching for it like i should. Even though i tell kids to search all the time. but i dont want to so links people links.

    Flowpens rock, i just cant seem to get my replacement nibs right.

    they are both very different.
    pilot is a classic and uses ink. use nero, grog, corio, montana..whatever ink you want. it wont drip in your pocket unless you over fill it. has a very strong tip and writes well.

    otr 60's work with paint..pump system sometimes doesnt allow for a perfect flow of paint out of the tip. OBVIOUSLY there are more colours..but they are easy to buff as its acrylic paint.

    otr inks work well..because its ink and it flows well..but again since its using pump system its risky because it can drip in your pocket. you can create effects by varying the pressure you put on the pen.


    choose which one you like..
    otr 60's are good if you tag places that are not going to get buffed regularly..
    pilots win over the otr inks as they are 'cleaner' and more convenient. they cost less too.

    cant you take out the cotton inside a pilot so it will hold more ink?

    also what is the most permanent ink i can fill a pilot with?

    i wouldnt suggest taking the "cotton" out of the pilot cause that absorbs the ink for it and its very usful. u dont want n e leakage.
    If ur in australia u should try looking at office works for ur pens they have some good shit u can buy a pentel jumbo for $9 (thats a good price) or jumbo pilots for $11
