Regular Pen Discussion / (Urgent Question) Did I buy the wrong Super Tip?

    I just bought a pack of supertips a minutes ago and noticed that the caps are not quite the same shape as what was show in various tutorials. I also found that the body is slightly conical (i.e. it's a bit fatter at the end plug and thinner at the tip). Does the "real" supertips also have this kind of conical barrel? I am thinking of returning them if this one's body is not identical to the popular ones. Thanks, Daniel

    It's the new kind. The old ones are the ones in most tutorials, as I believe.

    Is there some kind of waveish pattern on the caps? Those are the new new supertips. Also the taper is normal, though the taper on the old supertips is far more noticable.

    So the taper is fine? I could use them interchangably? And yeah the caps have a wavy pattern. Thanks.

    Yup, the only thing that's different is the caps and the inside of the body. It's not quite as easy to join the body pieces with bic round stic pieces since there are little ridges on the inside but they can be sanded off.

    Is it all the way through?

    No, they can still be joined if you use the backs of the markers.

    Alright, thanks a lot guys, I've decided to return the markers. Daniel
