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 😂
@EC-fm3vb2 жыл бұрын
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.

My pens didn't have bubbles like that third pen, but even after trying what was shown in the video, they remained dry. That was, until I tried your trick. I bought these pens two years ago right when they came out, and they have been dry from the beginning. Still, I held onto them since they still had so much ink. Though I didn't soak the tubes, just got straight to spinning. Works like a charm, thank you so much for sharing!

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. ♥

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.

Yes that’s an AMAZING REMEDY. Unfortunately, a good amount of people end up melting their pens in the process- I’m meaning those who are not precise while using the flame. It’s not dangerous if you know what you are doing.

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 :)

Be careful you don’t get any air bubbles that are minute and tiny in many refills. Also store the refills with the nibs pointing downwards to avoid future ink separation.
