Sounds like it could be cool? How does it lay down line? Dark? Does the ink harden the nib?

I haven't personally used it myself but from what I have used and played with, I say it's ok. However, do it at your own risk!

@@PopMhanComix i already bought the Winston Newton ink. what do you think?

I haven't yet, myself but if the viscosity isn't too thick then I say - why not? A note though, Pilot ink runs a bit blue when diluted. You might want to do a quick dilution test to see what the pigment color is for that Pilot ink before trying it out. Good luck! And thanks for commenting!

I think dip pens have a greater range of versatility while fountain pens are easier to use. If you are just starting off, I say start off in beast mode and go dip pen. That way, you aren't stuck with fountain pen habits

Thanks for taking the time to speak to me. What I meant in the second question was can I use both types of ink (dip and fountain) to refill these pens or should I stay with dip pen ink?

Not so much the type of pen. I was asking about the type of INK (fountain INK or dip pen INK?)

@@cherylbormann3429 I don't know if I have a preference between the two but you have to do different things with them to use them in the Pigmas. A fountain pen's ink will already by diluted and as such, it would be a bit runny. If you could leave it to air dry a bit before fill your pen with it would be ideal. Maybe a day or two should suffice. For a dip pen ink, I'd cut it with a bit of water before filling. :)

@@PopMhanComix you are my hero! thank you again!

Yes, and be sure to dilute!

Ink this is old but did you figure it out?

I feel you - I was scared to do it at first as well. But when you run out of ink, give it a shot. You've got nothing to lose, really, right? :)

Me too! You're absolutely right - and it's part of the reason I thought of cutting ink with alcohol. Many artists cut their ink with water instead. :)

My gut feeling is yes - you can refill as is, without diluting. Isograph ink is pretty nice stuff. Hard to go wrong with it. But if you're feeling not so confident, maybe dilute the ink with about 4 drops of water. Let me know how that works out, ok? Thanks!

@@PopMhanComix okay. I have ordered the ink. I will let you know how it works after i refill it. 😊

Thank you for watching! It means so much to me!

Thank you for watching! The Rotrings are a finicky bunch. Due to the hole in the opening that is very susceptible to drying out and not the core and felt nibs that markers have that make the Rotrings trickier to refill. The Winsor Newton should work fine provided 1) You water down the ink enough so there's a decent flow to the paper from the nib and the ink isn't too diluted. 2) That you clean the pen right after you use it. (You should do that anyways) but it's especially vital if you are not using the Rotring brand ink. Hope that answers your question. Hit me up if it's not clear or if you have any other questions! Thanks!

@@PopMhanComix Omg thank you so much!!! Well yeah, I used to buy rotring's ink but now I can't find ir anywhere! And in Amazon I found the winsor&newton black indian ink of 250ml at a very good price so I thought about getting that one. But in the box says that it contains shellac, so I don't know if you still recommend it. I also thought about dilute it with water but I've never done it before so I'm pretty much lost about it :( it would be amazing if you could explain it to me. And finally yes! Actually before I used to wash them every time I used them! Oh and finally, can you tell me some tips to unclock them? I'm sorry for the bible hahaha thank you so much!

@@tobukobuta A pleasure to answer questions! Now, please be advised, these are only my opinions and it's always better to use the brand name inks to refill the pen its meant for. That said, diluting ink isn't too hard if you're careful. If you have a smaller bottle of ink, separate some ink out and add one or two drops of water into that bottle and test the consistency on a sheet of paper. If the ink is still dark and thick, add more drops of water until you get a decent mix of dark and runny ink. You'll have to experiment yourself to see which you like working with. But in general, my hunch is 6:1 ratio ink to water. Six drops of ink per one drop of water. Let me know if this ratio works for you! Side note - runny ink won't damage your pen. Dried ink will clog and potentially damage your pen. Maybe I'll do a life hack to fix that as well in a future video

That is great! Would you share so we can learn as well?

Cool! Let’s vote!

Rotring Ink is excellent - good texture and dark. I'd play with cutting the ink with a bit of water or alcohol after trying it once without cutting, just to get a baseline. Good luck and THANK YOU for watching!

@@PopMhanComix Thanks a lot sir 😊 for taking the time to help me

Absolutely, it's easy to overfill. I may do an addendum to this video but I dilute with both alcohol or water, depending on how thick and type of the ink I use to fill. Using alcohol with dry the nib out faster but does work wonders to soften an already dried out pen. Good luck and thanks for tuning in! :) I appreciate you!

Dr Ph Bombay is actually one of the better choices for refill ink. It's not as dark as some of the other "Premium" inks without first leaving it with the cap open for a couple of days, so it's a great choice for refilling Microns. Again, be aware that any ink you use will eventually clog the the felt nib due to the pigment of the ink, so it's a balancing game of viscosity versus flow versus maintaining the life of the felt nib and core. Maybe I'll do a how to bring your nib back to life again next. :)

Wow, thank you and welcome! New updates coming soon. Had to wrap projects but making vids again

Nice! That bottle of ink will save you a ton of money in the long term! Don't forget to check your pens every month to make sure they haven't dried up.

Hey Tarek! I haven’t used Uniball Micro’s as much but they use a gel type ink for their pens. The ink is water based but it is a miraculous type ink. It’s thick like a... well, gel, but goes on thin on paper. You may have to buy an ink refill for it since I don’t really have a hack for gel ink at the moment. But I will look into it! Thanks! And thank you for watching!

@@PopMhanComix thanks sir today I use pelikan ink in my uniball needl by vacuum method I refill it

Wow! Thank you for watching the video! I'm trying to get better with the video production and making sure the information is helpful. I so appreciate you! Thank you! 👍👍👍😊

Hahaha! I can dig. I'm not a fan of this costume either. 👍😉

I think it took about 3 hours. I stop and walk around and do stuff during so it's not continuous. But yeah, about 3-4 hour. Thank you for watching and commenting! 👍👍👍👍

It's a really good table! I had the standard one for forever but wanted something a bit slimmer profile. The glass is cool too! ---- Wonder Twins!

Thank you!

@ 9:06 what is the marker your using, looks like it’s a white paint marker or something.

I'm so happy you subbed! Thank you so very much for that! The marker is a Zeyar Paint Marker - Which this is reminding me to put a tools list in the video description! Thanks! 👍👍

Pop Mhan Comix you did have some of the supplies, I went through them all looking for that one pen! Lol! 😂

Hahaha, sorry - that pen throwing does come outta nowhere! Thanks for watching - appreece!
