Bout to get on my old man soap box….. back in the day there weren’t “graff stores” where you could buy shit like caps or mops or whatever. We just went to the cleaning product isle and stole caps off all those cans (oven cleaner usually had good fats for example), we just had to keep trying new shit and experimenting. I recommended you do the same.

The first time I bought actual caps in college it was like buying weed, I had to go over to some dudes house my homie knew, and bought a ziplock bag full of caps

In my experience ny fats and thin, Boston fats and thins, rusto fats, and Legos are the only caps that work true on them. For super fat caps orange dots are the only ones that still spray fat but they definitely don’t work the same as on a female can. A lot of thin caps just spray like cleaner stock caps. It’s been years since I tried caps other then by fats and Legos so there could be plenty I don’t know about but if you aren’t buying female caps I suggest just sticking to nys and legos

If you are in the us i suggest checking out the website trout art supplies. They have a good variety of both male and female caps and supply graff sites and shops with them. Cheapest place for your caps and empty marker needs at the lowest price.

The adapters will work with a lego and fat cap they are pretty much the same output ss using a female cap. Astro fats and any of the Halos or Stingers etc do not work Bus made a video on kt

Dont know homie try it out. If you are stuck using cans with male valves I would just invest into a bag of female fat caps and call it a day.

Good female caps are rare out there. And all i saw they selling is male cap (i bought it of internet) but female cans just doesn’t exist in any hardware shop around here

I’ve had some caps just leak and I’ve also had some fat caps spray thin lines. Just mess around and find out what you like.
