For years on this channel we have been searching for the best, the highest quality,
the most versatile graffiti mops on the market, in all of our graffiti reviews and
surface tagging tests! And now, On The Run has just released a newly improved
graffiti mop that i believe is the best in class for one particular reason...
Look at how squeezable this is! The Soultip 003 Squeeze Marker is frankly more like a sack full of
paint with a nib on it than a graffiti mop. Like the plastic on it almost feels more like a rubber
than an actual poly plastic. And you can tell how much more squeezable it is by the sort of thud
sound of the mixing ball inside it, on the sides rather than that sort of rattling sound that you
get with most graffiti mops. You know what I mean? You can hear the difference right? So today we're
going to be doing a full surface tagging test and tagging some subscribers names up who have
asked me for hit offs to fully test the supreme squeezability and control that i'm hoping you
can get with this Soultip 003 Squeeze Marker. But before we head over to our surface testing area,
don't worry, i'm going to give you the most important info that the graffiti writer is
going to want to know about this otr 003 Soultip Squeeze Marker. So let's get to it.
Now the otr 003 Soultip, in its pre-filled form, was newly released less than a month ago as far
as i am aware, and comes pre-filled with one of 10 different colours that you can get in
the Soultip Paint here. The mop itself holds 90 ml of paint, so you know it packs a serious
punch. And it has this beautiful 18 mm nib. The 18 mm nibs are actually really nice. They're like a
very nice in-between size that you can use. The otr mops at least seem to always have this sort
of longer hair on the nibs; that's a feature of otr that i could sort of take it or leave it.
But, it definitely does come entirely down to personal preference for that particular
feature. The cap is nice and solid and it screws on perfectly fine, nice and tight.
You can buy these pre-filled versions for about 8 USD, which isn't bad considering that it does
come with 90 ml of that Soultip Paint, and it's not bad considering the usual
quality of otr mops in general. You can get these empty at about 4 USD a piece,
but i'm not sure if the empty ones come with this new, updated, super squeezable body design.
But i am super upset and i will tell you why! I can only squeeze this so much when the cap is on
and we're not actually writing on something! So let's get over to our surface testing area where
i can actually test this out and we can see how this baby performs. I'll see you guys over there.
Okay, welcome to our testing area everyone, and if this is your first time joining us where all
the magic happens, an extra welcome to you. If you find the video helpful, informative,
maybe consider liking, subscribing and you'll see a few more of my videos on your homepage. So,
we're going to get started with a tagging test, tagging some subscribers names up with this otr
Soultip 003, first on a smooth painted surface right behind me here, and then after that just
for some good old-fashioned fun we'll see what it can do on glass. And while i'm tagging up
some subscriber names with this mop, i want to keep three things in particular in mind.
And they're going to be what i'm commenting on most prominently. Number one, the squeezability
and controlability of this mop. I'm really excited to see how this mop feels to write with given how
nice and squeezable it actually is. Number two, the nib durability. That's especially important
with these sort of bigger nibs that have a larger surface area that can get caught or snagged on
any part of the surface, so you do want them to be durable. This one's a mohair nib. Mohair ones are
a little bit nicer usually than just the standard cotton nibs, so i don't anticipate any problems
with that. But that's something we definitely want to keep an eye on. And number three,
i'll talk about the otr Soultip Paint that this particular mop comes filled with, including the
opacity of the paint, the viscosity of the paint as well as if this paint in particular is a good
fit for a mop that is this squeezable. And, at the end, i'll be talking about some of the best paints
and maybe even inks that you could and should be using with this 003 Soultip, for the most fun.
So keeping those three things in mind, let's get rolling. All right, so just to give you a bit of
context, i'm going to show you guys a line just with a Krink k60, because it has a very standard
1 cm nib, 10 mm instead of the 18, and that way you can sort of see the difference in terms of
line thickness that you can get. Just nice normal thick lines with the k60, or any mop that
has that normal sized nib. And now let's see what we are going to get initially with these lines,
i'm so excited to juice this nib up. Yes! Yeah, look at this! From the very first
line i know this is going to be a fun mop. Oh beauty. This is going to be a lot of fun guys.
Shout out to Weok in Melbourne. Can't wait to get back to Melbourne one day. I have lots of respect
for all the writers up in Melbourne. They have a great scene up there. One thing i have to mention
that you're getting right away is, look at this. This really is a sack of paint! And i absolutely
love that so far. Let's get some more tags up here. Also something i should mention is on all my
reviews, i link the products in the description, if you do want to pick them up for yourself.
And i try to keep these reviews as unbiased as i possibly can each and every time. I'm
going to give you a shot of just how squeezable this mop is, like did i not tell you it is the
most squeezable mop?! It's the most squeezable one i've ever used. I really love this design;
i don't know what they're doing exactly with it, but this is tremendous. And you can tell just how
squeezable it is because it's collapsing under the pressure of less paint being in there, and it's
not able to fill up with air, and the actual poly plastic is thin enough that it collapses a little
bit. That's not like a bad thing or anything. That's actually quite the opposite, it's a good
thing. You feel like you have incredible control over your tags and specifically the dripability
you want to inject into your tags because of how squeezable it is. And that squeezability,
as you can see i did a few tags here with minimal dripping and also some with a little more dripping
because it is a drip mop. You're gonna get drips even if you're trying to save your paint like i
usually do and not do too many of them. I should also say the nib, as of right now, it's holding up
perfectly fine. I haven't tried it on anything too rough, a couple rough patches on this this smooth
sort of painted surface there's a couple rough patches, but it's handling that just fine.
You can see there the nib looks just gorgeous and juicy. And it's been a while since i've used this
18 mil size and i forgot how much fun these 18 mil nibs are. This is actually a great size to
work with. I really love it. The only downside is it's big enough that you'll have a hard time
writing on a few small surfaces, but hey, bigger surfaces are usually funner than the small ones.
As far as the Soultip Paint, red is a staple colour, that's why i usually try and get whatever
products i'm reviewing in red, as well as a few other colours. But, this red, it's a nice
vibrant red with the Soultip paint. It produces the drips in the nice sort of spots you want them,
at the end of the letters. There's no weird runniness with this kind of formula, so that's
always a plus. It's a well put together formula and it'll be as permanent as the next permanent
paint really. There is a bit of sort of separation that i'm noticing in a few of the lines here,
which looks a little strange, but it's not really something too worrying because they
are maintaining that opacity quite well. But guys, i am not fully satisfied yet. Let's really try and
put the squeeze on this otr 003 Soultip Squeeze Marker - that's what it's for - and get some real
juicy, drippy, tags just to see what that does to the opacity before we test on glass, and then talk
about some other possible paints and inks you can use in this beautiful mop. Let's get to it.
Yeah, it's funny, on my note here I have, "talk about the limits of how much drippage you can
get." There really is no limit as far as I'm concerned! Like with this Brain Damage tag,
it was done on a bit of a rougher part of this smooth painted surface, so a bit more got
absorbed by the surface but even with that kind of surface, you can see i was able to really squeeze
and you get some beautiful looking drips. I'm really enjoying this, but without further ado,
let's throw a tag on glass just for fun and then we'll talk about what kind of paints you should
be using in this. All right, so we're just going to throw one tag on here; it's a little bit of a
small space for such a big nib here. Let's give Wesker a shout out, from the MSN crew.
Do you guys remember MSN? I do. I was in like grade school when MSN was a thing. Everyone was
like, "i'll chat to you on MSN tonight." I'm like, "no you won't, i don't have MSN!" So,
of course this is running absolutely beautifully on glass. It really is the ideal surface. The
debate over whether the metal or the glass is nicer to write on, i think i did a poll
on my channel and most people chose metal. But, as you can see, just beautiful here.
So what paints and inks might be good to try in this supremely squeezable graffiti mop? In
short... it depends on your preference. And and just wait. Before you say, "that's a bit of a
cop-out answer," let me personalize the suggestion for you. If you're like me and you like the sort
of thicker, almost three-dimensional look of some tags you can get with some thicker paint formulae,
then the Soultip Paint is a good buy as well as other paints such as like the Grog Full Metal
Paint. Link in the description to some Grog Full Metal as well. I know you guys are like, "oh he
almost got through a full video without mentioning Grog!" Almost! But no, this Soultip Paint is a
little more runny than say the Grog Full Metal Paint. It's sort of a nice middle ground. The
mop doesn't really need much thicker than either of those. I don't think it would flow through
the nib very well at least with something like a Ruff Stuff Paint, or anything thicker than that.
The Soultip Paint and the Grog paint both have a ton of different colours in their colour line,
so they're really good that way as well. Frankly i don't have precise enough knowledge in the area
of Montana paints to feel like i would be giving out accurate information about them, so i will
leave that topic to someone more knowledgeable in that area, in the comments. I'd rather say that
than give out some incorrect information to you guys. The second question: inks? Personally...
nah. I wouldn't do inks in here, but they would work. Just you wouldn't have to squeeze at all,
and being that this is one of the most supremely squeezable things i have ever seen (i know there
are others out there like it but this is just it's it's really well put together) but being that it
is that level of squeezable, it would almost feel like a waste if you're using an ink where you
don't really need to squeeze that much. If you have used this otr Soultip 003 Squeeze Marker,
or you notice anything about it, feel free to drop that in the comments, start a conversation.
The knowledge we can share together as a community is more than i could communicate,
or any one person could communicate, in a video like this. So spread the love in the comments! If
you want to see how this mop compares to other graffiti mops specifically, you might want to
check out my playlist which is solely graffiti mop reviews, that i just made for everyone! And hey,
check out some other reviews and other series on the channel here. We have over 300 graffiti
related videos. I hope i'll see you in one of those videos in a little bit. Until then, peace!
