Was the design flaw which caused many people to lose this pen corrected? Thanks all.

It seems to snap in to the cap very securely. I haven't had any issues with that.

Used this pen on our trip to the Amazon River and never experienced any issue with barrel cracks, etc. Still good to this day, but have only had it for 6 mos. U'd have to speak to those who've had it "years."

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.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first got it. The cap is actually on the "non-pointed" end. I figured the pen was in the "pointed" end, but it is not. Mine was a little tight as well so once I got it off I loosened it up with a little pressure on the inner plastic.

That's weird... hasn't happened to mine yet. I've had for about 2 months now, with semi-regular use. The nib is still working well. I think a 3-pack of nibs is avail on Amazon and inexpensive.

I do not always check my email and if there is someone else who has already answered disregard this response. If it is the pen I would only assume a new one needs to be purchased because attempting to fiddle with it can be frustrating. But is it only the mouse function? Because if it is both the mouse and drawing function I would just buy another one but then again it could even be the pad.

I haven't had this problem except when the ink supply was going dry. I use the Waterman ink with a converter in mine. If the pen has been sitting unused for weeks, I tend to empty and refill the converter before use. Also, when I use the "fine" nib, I have found that I have to pay attention to making sure the tiny pen nib is "square" to the writing surface (as opposed to canted to one side or the other). The "medium" nib on my other vanishing point pen is a very "wet" nib, so I can't imagine a skipping problem with that.

I believe new insert, mine broke. The threads are week they sent me a new one and the same thing happened. Nice pen when working.

Possibly, but I don't know. The nib that came with the pen by default was perfect for my needs, so I never thought to look.

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill

I returned this pen after receiving as it was not what I originally thought. Unfortunately, unable to answer your question.

Well I am not sure....since it is not currently working. The pen stopped working 5 days after we bought it.....I would suggest a better model.

Of course double check the cartridge; tap gently several times on the end of the pen; make sure the tines are aligned. I wish you luck. Let us know.

Not that I've noticed. I'm not a big S-pen user, so my limited testing revealed no issues.

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

My art pen has been trucking even after several drops and constant abuse. It's been a little over two years now, freelance commission work full time. I am not someone who uses a whole lot of pressure when I press down though. So far, no problems other than the drop that killed it and caused me to get a replacement.

My pen was the same way. I just realized that the carbide tip is threaded as well as the hidden key. Just use a pair of pliers to tighten it down and it will be fine.

If you received one without a nib, you will need to contact the seller. They have sent you a defective pen.

Mine did, yes. The pen never retracts though. I like the pen but wish it had a cap or something. Might want to consider this if giving as a gift.
