Regular Pen Discussion / G2 ink tubes leaking?

    I use semi-personalized RSVG2 mod, and I've had a problem with the ink tube leaking. It's not very much, but a little bit tends to come out and cover the tip. It can be easily wiped off, although it's a little annoying to get ink on my hands. Anyway, I think this is in the nature of the ink tubes, because I've had three of them do this to me. I'm not sure what exactly causes it, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with spinning. Stress from the constant motion and shock of being dropped a lot, maybe? Has anyone had this problem before? I've been using .38 mm tips, if that makes a difference.

    this happened to me a lot mostly with G2 inktubes though...

    It happens eventually to all G2's. I think 1 or two didn't leak in my experience but they ended up drying up or running out of ink.
