Default new glue gun?

I received an email from GlueArts about their new tiny glue gun...
http://www.gluearts.com/new-adhesives.html

I thought about trying this instead of the ATG ... it's much less expensive and looks like it would do the same.....and the site ships free...

has anyone tried this yet? or seen it at CHA?

thanks !

the refills are much more than the tape refills for the 714 ATG !! check that out before purchasing....and how hard will it be to actaully get refills....dont know if the major tape distributors carry the replaceable cartridges.

i think i got my atg for about the same price as that new glue gun....

it does have an easier refill operation ...however, once you refill the atg once and get the hang of it, it really is quite easy to do.....

Hmmm, from what the website stated, the refills for the mini Pro were at most $8-$9 for 40 FEET of adhesive...that's actually better than some.

HTH!

Yes, but the ATG is about $3 for 36 YARDS of adhesive; about 3 times as much for 1/3 the price.

Being a "treehugger" I have a problem with the disposable cartridges too. At least with the ATG, all you're throwing away is a tiny core and the release paper. No big hunk of plastic that's going to be around forever.

My first thought was how cute, my second was that the tape insert was such a waste!

$8 for 40 feet is almost twice as expensive as SNAIL or Tombow refills.

I have the ATG and got my adhesive for $1.75 INCLUDING shipping for 36 yards!! (12 rolls for $19.95)

The other stuff would work out to $21+ for 36 yards!!

You can get the ATG at inkognitoart.com for $46.09 including shipping...so it's actually cheaper.

Way, way more expensive than my ATG! My gun was $36, and I paid $2.05 per 36-yard roll of adhesive. Think carefully!

If I caught you in time, check out this thread that I started. Not only are the refills way less expensive than ATG (and yes, they are as good or better) they also have their own "gun" that I think is only $25. I think a couple of the girls have ordered one already. It's worth a peek, anyway. Thread:
