This has saved about 30 gel pens I was about to toss!

I don’t know how many pens I’ve thrown out because I thought it was dried up, I am so glad you’ve shown us these tips and tricks to get it to work again. I love my gel pens and I am so grateful to know it can be done and how to do it.

I never knew you could remove the nibs of gel pens, just did that to clean out a few of my retractable ones. I realized that I could also use this trick if I wanted to change the tip size (put an 0.5 tip in a 0.7 pen, for example) if they are the same pen so the nibs fit. Thanks so much!

This is such a pet peeve of mine! My pens clearly have so much ink in it but fails to work, thank you so much for this 😂

I had one like the blue one. After cleaning the nib, I soaked the whole ink tube in warm water and then spun it (whole pen reassembled, ballpoint out) in a bag. Totally worked! Got all the ink to the ballpoint end and the air bubbles to the other side.

Bless! You just saved two of my oldest gel pens from a very sad throw out!

instead of taking it out, i just stick it to water. it works. thx . you saved my gel pens

I have the Staples brand that have not been used in several years. I cannot get the nibs out so I blew into the back end. And it worked. Thank you😊

Had expensive white gel pens that were practically brand new that would not work for anything. This worked! Ty ty ty!

What a helpful video!!! I am glad I found it before I threw out any more of my vintage marble gel pens! Thanks!!

I wasn't sure if this would work because my gel glitter pen stopped working in the middle of the artwork, but the first trick itself worked thank you so much for the help ❤️ Liked 🌟

I love the extra "little hands." Real life and we keep it moving!

This worked beautifully on my Pentel metallic gel pens - I'm so happy! Thank you for sharing this tip!

I love the transparency

I tried _so_ many other 'hacks' to fix some pens that were giving me trouble and this is the ONLY one that actually worked! My only addition was using an eye dropper to put just the tiniest drop of water into the ink tube to rehydrate any thickened gel further up above the tip and help get the flow started again. Like magic, they all work again. ♥

watching these at 1am and i wanna get off the bed and do this to my d-word pens

Thank you sooo much, this really does work, I just need to remember to put the writing tip back on the pen before I. Low on it, what a mess! LOL

Thank you 😌👍🏻 girl u saved my lot of time and pens ❤❤ have a great day ahead

I found I did not even need to remove the silver tip, i just took ink tube out of cylinder and popped it into a small 1/4 container of water. The gel began to flow... and no messy dealing with metal tip.

shame i didn t come across this video before i get rid of lot of my pens that didn t work but i am glad i can use it for future and save lot of them from same fate

Omg thank you I have a white gel pen that had so much ink but never worked I tried everything but I saw your video cause I decided to look it up and it finally works again thank you 😭💕💕💕

I use a needle and clean out tip.. And then wipe w rubbing alcohol.. Works great

Ur tricks really worked for us too!! Thanks so much!!❤

Wow, I've been buying the same pens I love over and over again because they keep dying and I just throw them out and this is gonna change my life hahahah thank you

Omg the ink blowing worked perfectly!!!

Thank you very much for the tip, it certainly worked and get back to finishing my colouring in.

If the green one didnt work, you could swap the tip of another “non clogged” tip of a pen when that pen is finished

Thank you so much! I've tossed so many glitter pens that got clogged and nothing was working, but this got some going again!

omg Tysm! I love my gel pens and I was wondering why the other pen hacks weren’t working

This jusy saved me! On a deadline just needed some white to finish and all if my 12 white pens werent working! Thank you!

thank you! worked great on my White Pentel Milky Pop gel pen. 👍

I can't wait to try this on my pens!!

Shoots. I just threw a handful of these away the other day during my decluttering. I'm not a gel pen fan. Thanks! (You could also try holding a lighter flame under the tip.)

Thanks!! I was thinking I'd have to buy another set & toss out my bad ones. Cool beans!!

Thanks it worked.. I used warm water and toothpick.

This really helpfull i revied a gel pen that was clogged

OMG this was a lifesaver thank u!!

Excelente idea amiga 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

It’s always the green 😂

You can give them a good shake. Holding at the end of the shaft and whip the point down and away from you

I actually managed to revive my gel pens another way! So my gel pen was from smiggle and they have like a ring around the ink tube and then the tip of the pen, I just pulled the whole top of it off (including the ring around it ima call it a stopper) and ink came onto my fingers, so then I assembled it again and it worked! I don’t know if I explained this clearly, but if this doesn’t work for anyone this might help :)

Thank you for your video,I got my gel pens working again♥️❤️

It must depend on how dry they actually are and other factors. I just did this and mine are not doing anything still. 😔

Awesomeness esp the blow trick with Sargent gel pens. Thank you much! 😊😊😊

This may save my old gel pens. Let's see...

Gracias!!!!!!!!!! Salvaste varios que estuve a punto de botar!!!!

Thank you soo much If I haven't seen this video I would have thrown my whole gel pen set

Thank you! I’ll never toss a “dry” pen full of ink again. 😁

This was super helpful tutorial! Thanks for sharing! I'm going to try it out on my white stabilo hel pens!!🤍🤍🤍

This is exactly what I needed! My Metallic pen is full of ink, but it won't write. . I'm trying this.

Thanks it's really working

It really worked with me also thank you so much ☺️

Writing on wet paper will also help to fish out more ink when it's just starting to run.

Thank you for saving for my pen

Thx. Im going to try my new pen. Not sure if its gel or not.

I have a gel pen that stopped working the day I bought the pack, so hopefully this works

IT WORKED! WHAT A LIFE SAVER!!!

You can even do it in another trick on your stove or lighter and put the metal point on the fire and keep it for 5 seconds and done it works

Thank you so much for these video

Thank you very much with your idea I got my glitter pen work thank you very much again ☺️☺️

Thanks you've saved a pen I was enjoying but was getting frustrated with!

It works great what I did below and right at the same time so I brought the envelope I was riding on up to my face and blue in the pen and wrote and it fixed it no problem thank you

You are awesome! Thank you!

Thanks. I will try.

Ohhhhhh! Why i see this yt reccomendation so late😭.....i toss all of my gel pen because of dry outs....but ty! Now i know what should i do
