    i was just wondering, but what effects does penspinning have on inktubes? specifically RSVP ink tube?

    does it mess up with the vacuum inside or w.e? Cuz i often find that after a while... rsvp inktubes just cant write anymore, presumably because of penspinning. All the RSVPs i use (and constantly TA) end up not being able to write, but my gf's can write all the way down to the last drop.

    any ideas? =S


    PS. the ink doesnt fly out of ballpoints like it does with gels does it?

    Yeah, the same thing happens to me too. Not sure how it happens dunno.gif, but spinning it does deter its ability to write.

    And yes, ink can still fly out of ballpoints, but not as much as gel pens.

    Depends on what you need it for, for extending inktubes, u don't need an RSVP inktube, a toothpick should be enough. For writing, u can practically use any ballpoint ink which u think is nice.

    I use jetstream inktubes for most of my pens, because they write quite nicely.

    I've never faced that problem (ballpoint ink affected by spinning), but i heard u can move the ink down by waving a lighter under the inktube. By that I mean starting on the far side and move the lighter horizontally towards the tip sidem, then repeat to solve the ink problem.
