Where do you find refills for the pen? The ink has already dried up and I haven't even had it for a week.

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.

Hey Caitie. I rarely use the pen so the ink hasn't dried up yet. I am sorry. Good luck and let me know if you find any replacements.

I doubt if the ink has dried up. The reason it stops writing, is that the pen barrel is basically sealed inside the utensil and not allowed to vent. Just remove the pen barrel and blow into it. It'll start writing again until another vacuum occurs. Yeah I know it's a pain. I seriously doubted that the manufacturers only put in 1 mm of ink into a 2 1/2" barrel and ink that thick doesn't dry out that easily. I also think the reason that BIC pens have a little hole in its side is to avoid the vacuum problem.

I have no idea. I have had mine for several months, but I do not use it much. I would chase down the manufacturer and order from them. Also, unless you are a compulsive writer, you probably had a faulty ink cartridge.

My pen just ran out too. I was going to go to Staples and compare the pen insert to the refills available. It looks very close to a Parker refill.

I'm pretty sure you can order refills from the manufacturer. I'm not sure if another brand readily available from most office supply stores will work. After all, the cartridge is really the key to space pens, being pressurized etc.Google space pen refills or go to the manufacturers site. It seems like I received a reorder form for them with my pen.

You won't be able to buy parts from Amazon. I believe the pen manufacturer has a service for refurbishing pens and it may be covered under warranty too.

Kuretake makes replacement ink cartridges. Unscrew the body of the pen (the longer part) from the tip (the black grip and brush part-the part that fits into the cap). Remove empty cartridge. Take the new cartridge and push it in with the metal ball side down towards the brush. It'll click, you'll feel when the cartridge is in place. Screw pen back together. It may take a bit for the ink to flee if you haven't used it in a bit. You can run the brush tip under water if you think dried ink is blocking the flow. Almost all the Kuretake pens use the same cartridge from the company. You can buy refills online. The Pentel ones do NOT fit this pen.

The pen has an ink cartridge. You can buy additional cartridges and also buy a refillable cartridge if you want to use your own ink.

I remember looking for refills, I can't remember finding it because I was at a trade show and one of the booths were giving these pens away with their name on it free and I received 2 and stopped looking for refills. One of the places I tried to find refills was an art supply store.

Mine has worked well from the start and even if I do not use it for a week or more, it still starts up. I will tell you two things to do that will help your problem. I have used ink pens for 40 years, so: first clean the pen with cold water (the nib) and then buy a high quality ink. I use Edelstein from Pelikan and it is by far the best one made. it is expensive, but it goes a long way and you can get lots of colors. Pelikan also has cartridges, but I use a bladder with my ink pens. You can find Pelikan at Fahrney's or Colorado Pen. Good luck. I believe this will make the difference.

Fisher Space Pen Universal Refills. So far I've found ink in black, blue, red & purple. I found them on Amazon. :)

You can buy another one from their website: vistablet.net as I don't see they have a replacement pen on Amazon.

Have not had to refill it yet, I imagine the plug with the big hole is where you pour the new ink. Make sure the tiny hole is also open to allow air to escape when you pour the ink in the big hole.

I have not yet had to buy a refill but one of the sites I visited when shopping said that the pen took standard Papermate refills. I can't verify that is true but you might want to check it out. Good Luck.

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

HI Warren,I own two of these pens and I have not had any issues with them drying out. What I suggest you do is dip the tip in some water and see if the ink will start flowing again. I'm not sure if the climate you live in might also be affecting your pen. I live in Hawaii so the humidity is consistent year round. I hope this helps.

Didn't have chance to look @ other comments, but you can find Parker refills almost anywhere pens are sold. I got mine @ Wal-Mark
