    So, I like to spin mostly un-modded pens, but whenever i write with a pen, and spin with it, after a few days the ink starts to change. it becomes gloppy, congealed, runny, and comes one in blobs; much like a bad fountain pen..... this is annoying because this ink takes a long time to dry, and smudges when i run my hand over it, or turn the page. this makes my notes and homework messy.....

    Anyways...Has this happened to anyone else??

    Does anyone know any tricks or simple mods to stop this from happening?
    i would prefer not to have to switch pens every few seconds to take notes.....

    thanks =]

    Spin a pen/cil with a different kind of ink?

    stick a tooth pick in the ink tube and cut its short

    it might work

    If you cut off the air to the ink it will not write.

    try changing the ink.
    examples of refills you can use: Pentel RSVP fine, Pilot BP-S.

    U could try using another pen or pencil. The ink is runny cos your using gel pens.
