Okay, so in a recent video i may or may not have listed the Krink k60 as one of the worst graffiti
supplies on the graffiti market... and believe it or not i did get some uh mixed feedback on
that comment. So today we're going to be doing a full review and surface tagging test of the Krink
k60 where we head over to our surface testing area do some hit offs, tags with subscriber names and
see how the Krink k60 performs on smooth painted surfaces as well as glass, the slipperiest surface
of them all probably! But first, using some of that feedback that i got on my comments that i
may have said about the Krink K60, i'm going to be telling you all the most important info that the
graffiti writer will want to know about the Krink k60 marker. And there are really two things that
i think are important to know about the Krink k60 right away. Number one, and there is no way around
this, one of these little guys will cost you about 14 US dollars and rather than saying that that is
the worst price of any small standard graffiti mop (which it is) i'll put it to you this way:
you could buy a full 200 milliliter high quality grog refill and a grog squeezer mop
for that refill for the same price as just one of these Krink k60s. And the same can be said
for other high quality graffiti brands as well. For example you could buy a 210 milliliter OTR
paint refill and like a couple of these mini soul tips for the same price as one of these k-60s.
Point number two: even within such a competitive graffiti market today Krink is still the distinct
leader in terms of paint formula quality. When you buy Krink, it can be safely assumed that you're
getting great quality, high opacity, and most of all, high permanence paint in your Krink mops.
So the bottom line here is probably something like - are you really willing to pay a pretty
ridiculous price for maybe a 30% boost in paint formula permanence and maybe a bit of quality in
other areas as well? As SADE said in his comment, the high prices of Krink seem almost antithetical
to graffiti and to graffiti culture in general. KillSpy on the other hand also sums it up very
nicely saying that Krink is like the Apple of graffiti. There's definitely some quality
associated with Apple. Maybe it's the same thing for Krink. Mr Paint also had a great explanation
as to why he thinks that the Krink K60 is something that's good to have, if you want to take
a look at his reasoning. But that is certainly enough talk! Let's head over now to our surface
testing area and do a comprehensive surface tagging test to see how the Krink k60 performs!
Okay, welcome to the testing area everyone. This is where all the magic happens and if this is
your first time seeing our little testing area, an extra special welcome to you. If you end up liking
the reviews, maybe consider subscribing! Check out some of the other 50 plus graffiti product
reviews we have done here on the channel. So while i do some tags here with this Krink K60,
i am going to be mostly commenting on three things in particular, with respect to the
formula. Those three things are: number one, the opacity of the formula. That's very very
important for a graffiti product. Number two, the vibrancy. We want to know that this pops!
You want your tags to stand out. It's one of the main points of a mop of course! And number three,
the viscosity of it, or as we like to call it the "dripability" here on the channel I guess. I will
also talk a little bit about sort of what it feels like to use this in terms of the controllability
of it and the squeezability of the mop, which are sort of one and the same. So this Krink K60 here
comes pre-filled with one of 20 different colours which is actually a great colour selection, i do
have to admit. And again, because it's Krink, you know that those colours are going to be vibrant.
But we're going to test that out. But as far as i can tell there's no such thing as a Krink refill,
meaning you can't buy any of just the Krink formula to refill these mops with. So really
the only way to get your hands on anyKrink paint is to actually pay that 14 bucks for a mop that
you might not need, just to get some of the paint formula inside it. So essentially you are paying
about 14 US dollars for just 60 milliliters of this legendary Krink formula. And just in
case some of you are wondering it is the exact same body as the Krink k66 here,
which is a steel tip marker. I do have a review of that if you want to check it
out separately. But just in case any of you were thinking this was going to be bigger,
no it's the exact same size. Speaking of buying the paint though, i do have a link to where
you can buy the Krink k60 for the cheapest price i could find. That'll be the first link
in the description. I also managed to find a deal where you can buy three for 30 bucks,
which if you want three of them that's a good deal that might be for you. If not, obviously it's not.
But it is time to see how this mop performs and we'll see if in a tagging test that gives
it a chance to show off its lustre a little bit. We'll start over on this sort of between rough
and smooth painted surface nowadays. That's been through a lot. And then of course we do have some
glass that we're gonna try and do a couple tags on if i don't smash it in the meantime. Let's get to
it! All right so tons and tons of people have been asking me for hit-offs. I'll get to them
all eventually but i have quite an extensive list, so if you don't see yourself in this video it'll
be in a future one. First off though Mew wanted to hit off! Let's get him up here. Let's juice
this nib up real good. Yeah, the nib juices up right away. Very vibrant. Look at that.
Yeah, so as you can see obviously a very vibrant formula right away,
Something nice about the Krink, it's a little bit of a thicker formula. You get the drips sort
of where you would sort of want them. I mean even more so if you have good mop control. But
look at that nib - that's gorgeous. I'm gonna give you a close-up shot of that.
Under Mew we got Hulk here! He's been a sub for a long time. Let's show him some love.
Get those nice blocky letters in. It's always a nice tag style to do.
That's one of the biggest things i can say, a lot of people ask me for advice
about tagging when they're just starting out, the biggest thing i can say is keep it simple. That's
what i do when i'm writing all these names for people that want hit offs because i'm not used to
tagging those letters in that order. So best thing you can do is start off simple. Keep it simple and
you'll get some nice stuff like that, that may not be the most glamorous but no one can argue with
it. Now i will say right away there's not a lot of drips here because i'm not squeezing too hard,
hence also why it's a little bit streaky. But right away i just want to say very vibrant
formula, opaque, and again a bit of a thicker formula. Let's get some more names up here! I
said i'd give Eror a hit off. Let's get him up here. To really test the viscosity, we're going
to try and squeeze extra hard here, get some nice drips in a couple of these tags. I do have to say
this mop a little bit tougher than some other mops, and obviously that'll get a bit better as
you drain the paint out of it, but it's a pretty tough mop that you're working with.
Shout out to Slie! So i squeezed a bit harder on that you can see a bit of a
difference. Let's get a few more names up here before we go over to the glass.
I do have to say, this is a fun fun mop. It's hard to have anything specific to say about it
sometimes because it's such a standard mop which, to me, is one of the reasons that
it's so outrageous that they charge so much for it! Because at the end of the day it is just a
standard mop. So because of that i'm trying to comment more on their beautiful formula here.
You can't deny it's shiny, and to be honest it stays like that when it dries too. It's one of
the hardest to buff. It's the most pertinent. Krink is always a leader in permanence in the
graffiti market. So really you are paying for the formula and i can't emphasize that enough
with this kind of review about a standard graffiti mop. And essentially it also feels like i'm sort
of focusing on the wrong thing when i focus on the formula too, simply because they don't really
offer refills as far as i know and i've looked pretty hard to be honest. But yeah, the results
speak for themselves in terms of the formula. I don't really have to say much more about it. But
i know what we're all waiting for. Let's see what this thing can do on glass! All right, we got this
nice pane of glass here. You can see a very old piece up there. That's an old one I did. But let's
see what this can do on glass! I'm excited to see this. I'll try a little one liner here of mine.
A little secret for you with one liners, you don't really want the drip so much.
Makes it lose the functionality of the letters a little bit. Just an opinion
I guess. But let me know if you agree. Also we'll shout out a couple other cats on here.
And you know, let me just add that the fact that you can write on glass at all without
a lot of drippage really speaks to the viscosity of this formula
and how controllable you have it in terms of the formula not being runny, because the less
runny it is the more control you have over it. Let's give one last one here to Nova.
Nova is a great name to tag by the way. Let me just give you a better look at
these. So glass is one of those sort of like
joyride surfaces where it's just a fun one to write on.
Okay, so although i could fill this whole surface up right with this all day,
i don't want to waste your time. So what i'll say about this in my opinion is: to determine
if this is worth it for you, you have to know how much value you're going to get out of it. And let
me talk about value for a second because people sort of confuse value a little bit with price.
People assume if something is high price that, means it's high value. That's not what value is.
Value is the benefit you get per unit cost! And the benefit you get is going to be different
for every person. If you're the type of person that is really going to enjoy specifically the
formula in this paint, and if permanence is a big thing for you, you will get more
benefit out of this than someone who is more cost oriented. Nothing will change that this mop is the
single most expensive graffiti mop on the graffiti market, but if that price brings you a certain
amount of benefit, then the benefit to price ratio could be quite high. And in that case,
this mop could be worth it for you! But if you are a cost or budget oriented sort of graffiti writer,
which i would assume most graffiti writers are, then this might not be something you want to buy
at all, or at least not regularly: Krink in general as a brand i should say,
and this mop. There are plenty of great quality mops with great quality formulas out there that
you can buy besides the Krink k60. In fact i'll have a graffiti mop comparison coming out in the
near future to help you decide which type of mop is best for you! Link in the corner if it's out.
If you guys have something to add about the Krink k60, either if you're for or against it,
or just something you notice about it, feel free to leave that in the comments. The knowledge
in our great graffiti community is vast and the more we can share with each other and exchange,
the better. And that is how i would suggest you figure out for yourself if this mop is a good fit
for you or not. Clearly the quality is there, but you need to figure out how much benefit
you are going to get out of it. I have plenty more graffiti reviews and product comparisons on
my channel. You can check out some of those videos on screen now or any of the other many series we
do on the channel as well! I hope to see you in another one of those videos, and until then...
peace!
