How quickly do the pen nibs wear down, and how often do you need to replace them when working with this specific tablet?

We've used it for an entire school year at the rate of one test every other week. The pen nib is perfectly fine as at the beginning.

I agree with previous response. Have 2 tablets for a couple years now, and never had any problem with decreasedbattery life. Also have the optional keyboard which really extends the battery life of the tablet and uses the same charger. Only problem I have encountered was the necessity of replacing one of the wall chargers.

I would recommend you give these a shot, just so you get the hang of using fountain pens again. When I first started to use FPs, I used a very heavy hand-a habit from the ballpoint and rollerball days. Thankfully, I was only using disposable pens so I didn't end up ruining the nibs.Although I've moved on to more expensive pens, I still keep these around. They're good value for money and are good writers as well.

I'm going to answer my own question with the reply from Wacom via email on May 7, 2014:Thanks for writing in. Great question; there have been issues with the cursor being offset from the pen. I'm not sure what causes that, but there is not a way to correct it. I would suggest taking your tablet into a Best Buy and testing the pen there before you purchase it.

I have not had any flaws with the pen as long as I've had it. Not sure what experiences others may have had. It's been great for travels, hiking and readily available when needed.

My pen has never had an problems. I did have a problem with another one and called the 800 number on their website. They were very helpful and we fixed it. It's been a while and I don't really remember the issue. Good luck!

I've had that slick problem with the 12WX. The companion's screen has a bit of texture on it and the feel is a huge improvement if you draw slow. It doesn't really help you if you draw fast. HOWEVER, Wacom has "Hard Felt Nibs" available separately (5-pack for $5). It adds a lot of friction and gives you the feel of drawing with a pencil on paper. Switch out some those extra standard nibs in the pen case with some felt ones, and you'll be good! I use my felt nibs for digital inking and painting where I need to be slower and precise, and then switch back to the standard nib for sketching where I need more fluid movement. In the old Cintiq, I needed the Felt nib on all the time even for just sketching, and since they wear down, I needed a new pack of felt nibs every 18 months, but it's just like restocking pencils, so it's okay. Oh, and if you go with the felt nibs on the Companion, first use leaves trails of dust that looks like screen scratches. They clean off easily with the wiping cloth that comes with the Companion.

Hi Cynthia. At this point I'm still scribbling with them all. But from my estimate, I do believe they will last as long as a normal pen. Hope this helps.

It's easy, it just pops right in thin-end first. If you're having trouble removing the existing one, there's a little tool. it's on the bottom of the 'pen stand' that came with the tablet I bought, it might be somewhere similar for yours (if it's monoprice compatible it must be similar). You just poke the tip in and pull back and it leaves the old nib behind. Or you can just pull it out gently with your teeth or tweezers. There's no wrong way, it's not held in by a catch or anything, it just plugs and unplugs.

Please replace the pen tip with the removal ring that came with the tablet. If the problem still shows, please send us an email from HuionTablet official for further assistance. Thank you!

Some people have been having trouble with the Samsung notes s - pen. The stylus used for writing on the screen that comes with those models. I have no problems with mine.

Sorry, I have never used the pen. The tip didn't last long enough to use it.

Same issues. Some vendors seem to sell counterfeit Wacom pen. It's my second and it's worst then the first one. Ended up buying locally from Best Buy and that's the real thing.

Not entirely sure what you're getting at. I've used my pens almost every day for the past four months. The ink is failing sooner than the tips.

I have the CTH-670. I purchased these nibs and those from tier site, not much price difference. They seem a bit harder than the ones that came with my tablet and not seem to have that perfect fit as the others.. but I have no problem using them.

I would call Livescribe tech support. They may be able to walk you through some trouble shooting steps. If it's still under warranty, they'll replace it. One of mine was defective and they replaced it for free. They even paid for return shipping on the pen that went bad.

Yes, though make sure you don't lose the extra nibs. I'm not a great artist and the skill is more important than the tablet (this is a pretty baseline one, I think).You can definitely draw with it.
