What if i told you i have found the thickest juiciest ink you can possibly get that is reverse
filtered 19 times and aged after formulation? well I did... and today we're going to test out
that mystery ink by doing some tags with it in a mop and by comparing it to some other inks on the
market that are prominent such as grog buff proof ink as well as the inkredible ink by on the run.
that mystery black ink you just saw is rare and pretty valuable nowadays partially because
it is so nice thick juicy. but it's also a little more valuable just because it's so
hard to get nowadays. i did say graffiti artists loved this ink past tense and that is because
according to all the research i have done this ink is just not being made anymore. now i hear
you saying Sciz what is this ink. just tell us. and okay... i'll stop being dramatic. I'm sorry!
but i know a lot of you will know what this ink is just for me telling you that the label
right on it says harmful or fatal if swallowed. you might also know by me telling you that
it comes with a dauber as well as the ink itself in a glass bottle that this ink is
witch's brew ink. but that wasn't the reason that i was calling it a mystery ink.
there are some mysterious aspects to this ink or rather what happened to it that i want to discuss
with you guys. so while we fill up a mop with this good old witch's brew ink and start to throw some
tags up i'll fill you in on sort of the mystery details about witch's brew. but let's head over
to the testing area right now get that going start to compare it to these other two inks here as well
as test it out in a full buff test. we're doing the whole nine yards today guys. let's get to it!
so while we get this mop filled up with this delicious witch's brew ink - please don't actually
eat this guys that's that's a.. a metaphor -and start tagging out subscribers names and
patrons names from patreon thank you for the support to my newest patron tim by the way,
i'll make sure to tell you how it actually feels using this ink in a mop. is this one
of those inks you can really use at a fast pace? what's it like? because they all feel different
and that is one of the main purposes of what we're doing here. so i'll make sure to tell you that as
well as in my experience how this witch's brew ink actually holds up over time, stands up to weather,
that kind of thing. and after that we will test head to head to head the thickness of the
inkredible ink, buff proof ink and of course the witch's brew ink. We'll do a thickness
test specifically. and just in case you thought we weren't going to test the permanence, of course we
are going to see how permanent the witches' brew ink is on an unfinished and a finished
surface. that's where we're going to do our buff test on each and see how it stands up to that.
so if you do appreciate the level of thoroughness we are going to try and test this witch's brew
ink out with feel free to subscribe and check out some more videos on the channel. that helps give
youtube the idea that hey maybe we should put a few more of my videos on your home page that you
might be interested in and there is always more coming on the channel. so let's get right to it.
okay guys so just to start this off i want to emphasize a couple things about the witch's brew
ink here. first of all this is a black ink to end all black inks in my opinion. the opacity
is what I mean. the opacity is just killer. you get this beautiful beautiful dark just true black.
it's a true black. that's the the best way i can describe it. it doesn't have any tinge of brown
in it. no like reddish tinge or a bluish tinge. it's just a true black. it's just incredible. i
can honestly say i haven't seen any other black inks that function this closely to a true black
and that's really impressive. that's hard to do i think in formulation. secondly the thickness.
this is what i've been saying all along and i just could not get drips with this. you probably
saw i was squeezing this mop in half. nice big nib, very flowy, can't get drips or at least you
almost can't get any. this is an ink so thick that it is almost thicker than a lot of paints
I've used. if i were to compare this to a paint i would say this is actually a thicker ink than
the grog full metal paint. and grog full metal paint is on the higher end of thick paints guys.
so that's just that's just how it is. for a few of the tags i let up on the squeezing,
got some nice sort of wispiness. i really enjoy those kind of tags. i know some people are just
like 'that's streaky' and that's all they see in it. i think it's sort of beautiful, but you know,
it's personal taste. the unfinished surface; i really enjoyed on the consistency of the
formula between the unfinished and the finished surface. not much streaking in either case and
that's what's really impressive. usually when you get to these finished surfaces the streaking
starts to come out a little bit, especially with inks. not the case with this witch's brew ink.
okay so just quickly before we start comparing this which is brew ink to the grog bpi and the
inkredible ink by otr i just want to let you know what i found about witch's brew ink. the
big mystery here is what the hell happened to witches' brew ink? if any of you know please
leave a comment down below let everyone know i've tried to look into this on several different
occasions with very limited success let me tell you the website on the side of the bottle takes
you to the singular home screen with no options but to click when you do click it takes you to
a page with nothing but a label a 2008 copyright and a link to the contact information i've tried
to submit through their contact form several times haven't ever got any replies their about section
outlines the pretty serious process that this ink goes through during formulation or manufacturing
i believe there are still a few places online that may still have some of this which is brewing but
oinkartltd bombingscience.com graffitishop.net all stopped selling this witch's brew a long time ago
there's nothing special on social media about this either that being said any old reviews that i can
find of this ink all emphasize the same thing this stuff lasts and that's been my experience with it
as well but i had one last resource i wanted to try to figure out some stuff about this ink and
what it was is fred at bombing science. i asked fred what's up with witch's brewing and if he
gets back to me before the end of this video i'll sit down with you guys and tell you exactly what
his response was because they were a contact at bombing science for a long time and we're stocking
witch's brew ink so he's got to know something right okay so just before we get to our buff test
i want to prove to you just how thick and juicy which is brew ink actually is what i'm going to
do is i'm going to lie down a line and a dot with each of these inks i'll tell you which is which
just so it's clear but that'll show you with squeezing the exact same amount on each of these
which of these inks is thickest and juiciest so let's start with the front runner here the
witch's brew okay so first up with the witch's brew ink here i know this is not an exactly
scientific comparison we're not using the exact same nibs in the exact same mop bodies to squeeze
equally or whatever but one thing you can't argue is that you saw me try and squeeze as hard as i
possibly can on that witch's brew and these drips are pathetic. they're the nice
beautiful three-dimensional drips you get with thicker paints not inks so this to me is crazy.
and for those of you who weren't seeing it as crazy hopefully seeing the inkredible ink
right beside it and then subsequently the buff proof ink just pour down this surface
we'll show you that yeah this is pretty incredibly thick compared to some of the
standard inks on the market especially the buff proof ink. i've always thought that that's a bit
of a thicker ink but you sure as hell can't tell just from that the mops that i was using for the
inkredible ink is the molotow dripstick 860ds if you're interested in a review of that check the
cards in the corner or the description below. i have a full review and surface tagging test
of that as well as the superflow mops from otr. they'll be there for you to check out as well.
but guys we are going to get to the buff test right now i have two different standard buffing
materials here basically that will first test out on the smooth finish surface just to see how it
stands up with low expectations and then we'll really try and buff this zk tag shout out to the
zk crew. and we'll see on a normal not polished finish surface if this stuff can stand up to it
and while i start that i will tell you that fred did reach out to me with a response on
which is brew ink so i will tell you that after our buff test so we're going to start off just by
laying a buff down on this juggla joe tag we're trying it with two different kinds here i'm not
gonna buff the whole tag just because you know usually you let these sit for a little
while i tend to find with these specific buffing materials that's not necessary so your standard
sort of graffiti remover there has absolutely no problem in terms of the other thing which is like
an all-purpose remover i should be wearing gloves for this guys by the way it's not as
clear-cut but either way there's no ghosting there this tag is coming off on a finished surface so
let's get to the porous surface now so the zk tag the k is gonna get the graffiti remover here
and this head is going to get our all-purpose remover no need for this to settle in but
so because this is so dirty we can't really tell if there's a
ghost here yet so let's uh just get another layer down and clear this up
oh boy okay so there is definitely a ghost here
using this all-purpose remover. i'm just going to remove the rest with the all-purpose.
okay so i guess sort of predictably the actual graffiti remover we used pretty much took this
off obviously if i kept scrubbing here you can get the general colour out of there too there's
no ghosting whatsoever there's a huge ghost here when a general remover is used so although
i don't think this ink is the most permanent thing out there it's tough it is a tough ink
and when the formula itself is so beautiful personally i can forgive it a little bit for
not being entirely buff proof but i did say i got a response from fred so let's sit down
i'll tell you what he said and i'll look at it with you guys and hopefully that'll
give us a bit of an idea of what that means for witches' brew ink ultimately.
okay so this is what fred said i sent the email saying i'm doing a video on which is brew ink
and i was wondering if you guys had any information on what happened to the company
or if they're still active at all. he said hey i don't know what is happening with witches' brew.
they haven't answered my emails in about four years. so essentially what seems to have happened
is they built up a good relationship with bombing science, good enough that they would carry their
product regularly and then essentially stopped talking to them for the past four years. now
that's a bit of a slap in the face not gonna lie and it also makes me pretty pessimistic about the
likelihood of witches' brew inc ever really being revitalized or being manufactured again what that
does tell me though just to conclude is that if you do still have some of this which is grew ink
or if you find any place that stalks it that has some leftover stock you're very lucky and
you should scoop it up that being said this ink is made to use if you guys haven't used this in a mop
i think it's a very very good choice to use in a mop especially if you're like me and you're not a
huge fan of inks in general you go for the paints more often try this out i promise you'll probably
like it now i'm sorry that i can't link you to this product or anything but this channel is about
taking a look at all things graffiti and that's what we continue to do here. speaking of which, if
you want to know more about either the inkredible ink or the buff proof ink both those videos are on
screen for you to check out right now. they got some interesting results in their buff tests,
which were very surprising. so i hope to see you in either of those videos soon. until then, peace!
