Today we're going to be comparing the Grog Squeezer Mini, in the 5mm nib size and the On
the Run Soultip 007 10ml to see which is better for YOU, as a graffiti artist and a graffiti
writer! Anyone who's seen any of my reviews of graffiti mops graffiti markers, paint sticks,
spray paints, all that good stuff, probably knows that most of the time i advocate for
trying different graffiti products out to see which one you personally enjoy using the most.
But i am certainly no stranger to the dilemma of having 10 bucks that you can buy graffiti
supplies with and you can't necessarily afford both of these nice little graffiti mops! And
because of that, and because so many subscribers have asked me this particular question: Sciz, which
is better? Should i be getting the grog squeezer mini in the five millimeter nib size or should
i just go with the 007 soultip 10 milliliter? So, because of that today we're going to be doing a
full surface tagging test with the grog squeezer mini five millimeter as well as the soultip 007! I'll be telling you about the similarities and differences between these two lovely
graffiti mops here and all that before i tell you which one of these i personally have been using
more often and more regularly and why that is. So, if all that sounds good to you, let's get into it!
So, just quickly before we head over to our surface testing area and throw some tags up with both of
these wonderful graffiti mops, i just wanted to outline why exactly we're comparing these two
mops in particular by looking at some of the similarities and differences between the mops.
Now, i'm not going to go in depth with all the stats of each of the mops because i do have
dedicated videos specifically to the soultip 007 10 milliliter as well as a dedicated video
reviewing every single nib size of grog squeezers in the mini edition. So, if you do want to know all
the details, you can see those videos in the cards in the corner or i always link
them in the description as well. And something else you'll find in the description if you do
happen to want to pick either of these up for yourself is links to where you can buy
those. I try and link some sort of value pack deals to save you guys some cash.
So, on the surface these two mops actually might not look that similar and that's due,
visually at least, to the grog squeezer mini here in the five millimeter size specifically
holding 30 milliliters of paint or ink and the 007 soultip holding just 10 milliliters. That
being said though i do want to emphasize that these are both extremely carriable they're very
nice to carry in your pocket and in the case of the sol tip 007 it's so small you could even
throw it in your sock or something like that if you really wanted to it is just minuscule
the only other major difference i specifically want to outline is that the body of the grog
squeezer mini i find on average to be a little bit tougher and harder than the bodies of these
nice soul tip 007s and that's not to say the grog squeezer is a tough hard marker i think more it
just outlines just how nice and squeezable these 007 markers are but hopefully visually i'll be
able to outline the differences in squeezability when we get to our surface tagging test
like i mentioned both of these mops are extremely compact furthermore the nib sizes
are identical although grog claims theirs is a five millimeter and the otr one says right
on it that it's a six millimeter round tip the nibs are identical and exactly the same size
trust me they are interchangeable i have done that to save you guys the time aside from that
i think it's best we just head right on over to our surface testing area and throw some tags
up to really get a better idea of the actual similarities and differences that way that's
the best way officially to highlight what each of these graffiti mops actually has in store for
you the graffiti writer so if that sounds good i'll see you over there
welcome to the testing area everyone as we get into tagging up some subscribers names who have
either shown support on the channel supported me on my patreon or supported the channel just
by grabbing some of this skizz graffiti merch by the way i just updated the electric skis
shirt i'm wearing here to have some white font you can check that one out it's new in the store
right now first link in the description to that but we'll be taking up those subscribers names
while i tell you and show you number one how the otr soul tip 007 and the grog squeezer mini
05 feel meaning how squeezable are they do they feel nice and comfy on the fingers to write with
that sort of thing number two i'll also give you a bit of history in my experience about how
these mops hold up over time i have used both of these for several years and number three i won't
dwell on the formulae of these mops too too much because you can obviously fill them with
just about anything you want but it is worth mentioning that they do come with the sole tip
paint and the grog full metal paint respectively or the buff proof ink so starting off with the
soul tip 007 10 milliliter here i know some people are gonna ask about it so i'll tell you
right now the color i'm using in it is hot pink and as far as the squeezability of this mop goes
you cannot get anything better than this you can squeeze them up so that the sides touch each other
in the middle and it's small enough that it's nice and comfortable to write with basically
but as you can see even with the lines that i got on a very very smooth surface you can
squeeze enough that you're getting these nice complete lines very little streaking even though
it's on a smooth surface that is that smooth so very very good very controllable i really love
the feel of this mop is what i'm trying to get at here i guess one thing i will add only because
the last mop i used was a normal 10 mil mop going back to this 5 mil size you really do notice just
how tiny the nib size is and you do have to sort of adjust your writing a little bit and it reminds
you that this five mil size really is a little bit better for sort of tinier areas as far as the soul
tips go i have a couple different ones of them just because i do really enjoy them in general so
i have used each of the ones that i have over i'd say three four years in total both of them the
bodies just are totally fine i take really good care of my mops so they hold up really well as far
as the nib goes though it's not the greatest nibs specifically in the five mil size i find they just
wear out really fast my thinking is it's that the little compressible bit in the middle of the nib
that that sticks out a little bit higher than it does on slightly bigger mops and because of that
the nib wears out a little bit faster either way i just find 5ml nibs wear out fairly quickly and otr
in particular they try and give you the nice mohair nibs with some other bigger mops but
this little one it's just a normal cotton nib i believe or at least it writes like it because
it doesn't hold up particularly well i've had to replace the 007 nibs more frequently than
i would have expected having first bought it i guess is a good way to sum it up i said i'd
briefly mention the formula and that's what i'll do i'll keep it brief the hot pink especially it's
just a very very nice color unfortunately this surface doesn't really give it the best chance
to shine i really miss the black surface that i had a little while ago i'm in the process of
getting another one of those but the formula for the sole tip paint especially is nice and drippy
it's a little bit of a thinner formula than say the grog is the opacity of that sole tip paint too
i've never really had a problem with you can see that it stands up pretty well on this surface
now moving on to the grog squeezer mini here this squeezer mini is the only one i have had
i've had it for several years so the colors in it there's probably remnants of between five
and ten different colors in it but mainly what i'm refilling it with right now is i had the gold rake
purple before and i've sort of mixed it in with a pink of sorts and it is jellyfish fuchsia and
before i had a lot of nice things to say about how the otr007 mini felt writing with it enlarged due
to that nice squeezable body and i do have to say after riding with the 007 and immediately
switching the grog squeezer mini here you do notice that it is just that much tougher it's
not quite as free feeling in your hands exactly on the other side of that though i have noticed that
the grog squeezers do loosen up a little bit over time as any polyplastic will that's not unique to
grog or anything i'm just saying it will loosen up and this one in particular is just a nice
squeezability for myself using it regularly for a long time unfortunately the grog squeezer here is
similar in one way to the sole tip and that is the nibs i just find don't stand up that well probably
for the same reasons i outlined before previously so i won't talk about that too much the pain i
have the feeling this nib that i have replaced it with is a little bit clogged just because i
had a lot of trouble trying to get a nice smooth line going that being said i find the purples
blues and pinks from grog really have a nice tone to them one thing i found really interesting that
i just have to mention is in this sick tag where it ran into the grog buff proof ink a little bit
there the purple and the blue combining is a very very nice nice color there i really love that so
if you're ever looking for some nice combo ideas maybe sort of the purplish pinkish and mix with
some frog buff proof ink might give it a real nice paint ink mix just an idea and so that's sort of
leading into the formula a little bit the only thing i do have to say about the grog full metal
paint formula that is in here is that it is just that much thicker than the full tip paint and i
personally i really enjoy the nice thick paints to me the grog paint is one of the better ones
that you can get just the way it produces nice three-dimensional drips is very very beautiful
especially if you know how to squeeze them off in the right parts of your tank so although you can
tell massive amounts just by seeing some tags with these graffiti mops being thrown up on a surface
like this it's always great to hear what other graffiti artists and graffiti writers think of
these mops and what their experiences are with mops like this that they have been using and this
is where you guys can chime in in the comments let everyone know if you've used either of these what
you like about them what you might not like so much about them and even some other graph mops
that you might recommend and although i am just one graffiti artist i did promise that i would
tell you which of these either the grog squeezer mini or the soul tip 007 10 milliliter i have been
using more frequently recently and in the past and i think hearing my reasoning for why i've
been using each mob at different points in time might help you figure out for yourself which mop
you might be best suited for as a graffiti writer or graffiti artist so let's have a little chat
so for those of you watching right now first off thank you secondly though good on you because this
part of the reviews that i do of graffiti markers mobs even paints paint sticks whatever this part
of the review is usually where i speak a little bit more frankly about the products that we're
looking at here and you really do get more of my honest unfiltered opinion about a lot of the
graffiti products out on the market these days and as promised that's exactly what you're gonna
get from me right now i'm first gonna tell you which of these i use more in the past and which
i've been using more frequently closer to present day and why i switch in between them sometimes
so in the past out of these two i have been using this one for a long long time in a street and
train environment and i think i got this one back in 2017. it's it's fairly old and at that point i
had already been using the other nib sizes of the grog mini squeezers quite a bit so i had already
learned to like the grog mops quite a bit and i really did like this one as well
for a couple reasons in particular and these reasons are the ones you want to pay attention
to to sort of think for yourself are these reasons that i would like this type of mob
as well the first of those reasons being the o5 the five millimeter size that is is really just so
versatile in a street and train environment so you can do nice small tags it's also thick enough that
you can go a little bit bigger and bolder if you really want to so i found that versatility quite
nice with the combination of the five mil and 30 milliliters of paint and the second big reason
although it's not the softest mop out there the shape of it and the level of squeezability is
totally fine and it makes it a nice comfortable mop cozy on the fingers as i like to say
and it's a nice comfortable carry as well and as you may have guessed as of late i will have to say
i have been using the soul tip 007 10 milliliter more frequently although to be honest i haven't
used either of these particularly frequently as of late but i think with the 007 soul tip the supreme
squeezability of the body here combined with just the skinnier build of this mop really captured
my appreciation when i first started using these two three years ago and just that combination of
being such a nice comfy mop and such a beautiful little tiny thing to carry comfortably with you
makes it a great mop in general and especially if you're sort of like the type of casual writer that
is casual but always likes to have some sort of mop with you just in case you want to catch
a tag here and there this 10 mil is a very nice option for you to have in that scenario and on
the flip side of that the only downside about the soul tip 007 in particular that i have to mention
is that the 10 milliliter size is not great for that serial tagging application so if
you're on this polar opposite end of a casual rider then uh the 10 mils just doesn't really
get yet far enough it's not exactly what you want whereas a 5 millimeter size with 30 milliliters
of paint that actually gets you quite far a lot further than you would think really so the
grog squeezer mini in that sense is a little better for those serial tagging applications
shall we say and the other only major drawback that these share in particular is exactly what
i mentioned before just the nibs i find aren't the highest quality and i would go as far as
saying that that is a general problem with five mil nibs sort of across the board with
respect to graffiti mops on the graffiti market so although it is a drawback it's not really one
that i think you can avoid very well specifically with this nib size and as i mentioned before i do
recommend trying out both i obviously have both of these here i have multiples of this little guy
and i'm certainly glad i have both of these but hopefully hearing what i have told you and shown
you today in our tagging test will help you decide which you want to try if you're just looking to
pick one up something else you might want to pick up though if you have the money to spend
is a tags throws and pieces t-shirt or hoodie of course or you know i have some other shirts that
i designed and sell to help support the channel as well i just want to take this opportunity to
say thank you to everyone who has picked a few of those up i really do appreciate it if you snap
a pic of any of the shirts that you bought i'll give you a shout out on my instagram and maybe my
youtube community page or something like that for you i have a whole playlist of specifically
purely graffiti mop reviews that we have looked at here on the channel that might interest you
you can check that out on screen now or you can check out some of the other series here on the
channel and hey feel free to subscribe if you do actually want to see more of my videos appearing
on your home page i hope to see you over in one of those videos soon until then peace
