how often do you replace the tip?

I replace the tip as soon as it starts showing some wear, usually around 2 -3 weeks of daily use.

I have had it for almost a year and have not replaced it yet....if you keep it clean it lasts a long time depending upon how much its used.

I replace mine once a year. A lot depends on how clean your house is and if you have pets that shed hair. I have two cats.

I scrub the tip with a toothbrush & rinse with rubbing alcohol. Works great.

Tips are easy to find in drug stores, target, and similar stores. Of course, they can also be purchased at Amazon (that's easy!). We've not had it long enought for the tips to wear out.

The tips are replaceable. You can buy more from your local archery store or online.

I haven't broken a single tip since I purchased them 3 months ago and I use them almost everyday. I do sharpen them up every once in a while if I'm detailing.

Repeatedly. Just make sure the tip is clean; as it may contain residual contaminants from a prior usage.

I've used mine about 70-100 times and still no need to replace. Definitely not single-use!

I haven't replaced one yet! I use it every couple of days for an hour or so.

The suggested replacement rate is every six months, but I replace it every three. Using the special covers that supposedly clean the brush while not in use, I find that black spots appear in the brush head if I don't switch it out after about 3 months.

We have not had any problems with the tips. They have lasted for years with no problems.

Yes, the tip is replaceable. What I like about it is that it acts as an extention when using short tips. Good to have in your driver assortment.

The tip just threads in. Consider gripping the metal rim of the tip (the part that gets replaced) with a pair of pliers and twisting in a counter clockwise direction, as you would to loosen a nut. Be careful not to damage the barrell of the stylus with the pliers. When you replace the tip, tighten it as tight as you can by hand. Do not use pliers on the new tip.

It appears that the rubber tip and ink pen can be replaced; however, it's probably more cost effective just to replace the set given they aren't expensive. That's what I'll do when the time comes.

Based on how the tip is constructed (basically just glued on), I don't think you'll be able to fix it in a way that will last. If the pole was new and barely used, you might be able to contact the manufacturer and get it replaced. If not fairly new, you might be out of luck.
