I have a few ink pens that will not write and I would sure like to use them does anyone have any ideas how I can get them to work? I have tried the constant circles thing and I have found that the lighter over tip technique doesnt work for me too often so I need some more ideas???

maybe you need a re-fill of the ink?
no?
then perhaps those inkpens have just worn out overtime?
if despite many attempts it still failed & refuses to work, throw it away and buy a new one.
please..

An old trick for ball point pens.... just light the tip where the ball and ink come out, for 1 second to thin the ink.. and it that still doesn't work for you... Lick it several times with your tongue...it moves the ball of the pen and moistens at the same time.. it just tastes like @%&*.

My only success has been heating the tip over an open flame. If that doesn't work, it's time for the trash.
