stamp licks

no dice searching that. they usually come on shoe polish bottles, dyes and cleaners. i've tried searching every combo between daubers, sponges, tips, shoe polish, container, plastic, etc...

Whoa! (Joey "Sleeve Style™")
I've never heard of them either ;)

i want to find a wholesaler to buy a shitload of them, not buy them from graffiti resellers. KR/krink sells them in a 3 nib pack for $3.
i'm trying to find somewhere that sells the bottles and nibs for me to buy. i'm assuming you can get these easily as he is a small company himself.

Hello

sometimes they are called "mops"

i probably know every slang term in the book for these and those aren't turning up any results other than graffiti mailorders and how-tos on marker making. i need an "industrial" source.

phone up one of the marker companies and just ask them who their wholesalers are.
Phoning people up is always quicker and more productive in these kinds of cases than trying to search google, in my experience

you could try 'bingo marker nib'
- rasko40
bingo dabber or shoe mop also

tried it.. the bingo markers have a flatter valve tip... same that is used in a bunch of rubber stamping cleaner bottles. i've tried finding those tips as well, but can only find full bingo markers.
the only person using these is KR for his markers and i've already written and called Kiwi and Griffin (shoe polish peoople) to see if they would either sell me bulk containers or point me to where they buy theirs. no dice.
dobber, dauber, dabber, sponge tip, valve tip, shoe polish bottle, nib, mop, ink, etc etc etc searched the shit out of it. this is the same situation i was in when i didn't know what a 'screw post' was called.

this is probably not going to work seeing as tokion is no more, but they produced the barry mcgee fat man toy and if you pull his head off there is one of those nibs underneath, maybe you can somehow track that, it isn't marked with the manufacturer just 'made in china'

was that full size? i never saw one of those in person, but for some reason i thought that was smaller. i think 360 toy group did those, so i'll try to drop them a line. good call.
i'm just thinking these have some generic name like screw posts do and i can't figure it out. its like trying to find a wholesale vendor for spraypaint tips that isn't Roger Gastman.

I still reckon Kiwi or those other shoe polish guys will be your best bet.
If you approach them as a professional company enquiring about it they may be more open.
Most companies are a bit secretive about their suppliers. So you have to seem legit but with no threat to taking business away from them.

its exactly the same, about an inch across, and it has the 'propeller' insert thing. Mine happens to be red and not green like in your shot.

exactly.. i sent them a formal email (despite my crass delivery on here, i can be formal) saying i was a small business interested in finding a supplier for like containers for crafting supplies. i said if they were proprietary, i understand, but that i had seen them in use by other companies and figured they would be my best chance of finding out whats up.
