How long does the nib last on this pen. It is quite expensive to replace the entire pen.

I've used it extensively for about a year and it shows absolutely no sign of wear. Replacement nibs are $80-100 last time I checked.

I believe the nib will last a long time if the pen is taken care of and not abused. I've had my pen for over a year and have had no problems.

The point on this pen is not particularly fine, and is comparable to most ballpoints. It takes the PR-series cartridges, which are available in finer points: http://www.spacepen.com/cartridge.aspx I can't tell you how long they will last, as I've never had one run out before losing it. They will last for at least four months of heavy, daily use, as that's the longest I had one.

Also, you have 2 nibs, one is used to write thin or gross, like to do a signature, and the second is to write normal.To re-fill is too easy, but I can't explain in few words, so sorry. The pen is excellent!!

The Infiniter I bought was given as a Christmas gift. I contacted the gift recipient and he says his is still working. I think you might have to take it to a pen store and compare (maybe try) different brands. Where I live there aren't a lot of pen stores (about 3) but maybe a stationery store will have the same thing.

When I'm writing consistently, it takes a few days to run it dry. Probably at least 30 hours (with the ef nib) from full to needing filled

Yes you can change the nib. I changed mine to a fine nib. However, it is the full top unit that one buys, not just the nib. I got mine from an English retailer for about $15. http://www.theonlinepencompany.com/pencompany/pen_nibs.php?cat1=Parker&cat2;=Urban

Maybe they can change it, because my pen works great and my boyfriend is using it for about 1 years. But actually I can remember that it took some time writing with it, before it worked well.

I've been using it. You do need to change the tips but only after it's collected too much polish. Each pen comes with 3 spare tips so it was worth the price for me.

The replacement nibs come with an included feed mechanism. It all comes in a plastic container that holds it securely. I just swapped nibs on my 580 with a nib that was put in the nib holder still wet with ink. A year later the nib was still fresh, didn't need to clean it.

More F than M nib, I had to return mine, the cap clip got loose. I will go to eBay and pay $12 for the same model and ink converter.

Honestly, it is a waste of money to replace a pen just for that reason because, sooner or later, it going to happen. In my case, when that sticky surface appears, I cleaned it using kerosene (or anoder soft paint remover as well) and thats it, like new.

You can get a replacement refill, it's specific to the knife but available. The refill has a small brass nib on the back. Basically, you just tug the pen part out and replace it. When I use the pen (it comes in handy more often than you'd think) I usually pull the pen part out and use it that way rather than holding the knife. It's just easier.

I've seen the nibs for the pens sold separately, but I'm unsure about the pens. I'm sorry.

REAL good question!! I am in love with this pen but worry if there is a replacement tip so I have looked and am sorry to report thru my search if it wears out we are S.O.L. If you find one PLEASE let me know

I don't know about the overall lifespan of the battery, but I do believe replacements are available or at least new pens are and I don't believe they cost much. It's like 15 dollars for a whole new pen. I've had mine for a year now, with daily usage reaching over 8 hours a day sometimes and I've gone as long as 2 months without ever charging it and still no sign of it slowing down.

Well depending on how much you write, they. Last half a month to a month ish. You do need to check and make sure you have a good connection between the cartridge nd the nib area or you will have a nice messy leak (personal experience) but other then that they re great.

Just got back from Frankfurt, Germany carried it through every security check. If you specifically ask I am sure they will say no. I keep it a brief case with my other pens and so far no issues. I suggest getting a Parker Gel replacement cartridge, writes much better than the original IMOHO
