Can I replace the nib? Mine worked well for awhile but now it's practically impossible to get it to work even with priming.

If you can't straighten the nib, at this price, I would simply purchase a new pen and take better care of it.

Good question. I just gave up on my pen and put it in the recycling bucket. I got it to work for about a day but that was it. No amount of tinkering, cleaning, swearing could make it work. It is a piece of junk. My suggestion: get rid of it and get a pen not made in China.

You can replace the nib. Jinhao sells them but its easier to replace the entire tip. Many alternative sellers make nibs and tips that fit the barrel. Have you tried flushing your pen with alcohol? I Periodically have to hold mine under warm running water to unclog it. Sometimes have to take the pen apart and soak it (after long periods of not using the ink will dry inside) good luck. Ive been using my (ugly gold) pen for over a year.

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.

Just unscrew the top part that has the nib from the bottom. You will see a tiny metal knob sticking out of the top where you can push and plug a ink cartridge. It is pretty easy. There is always youtube if you need a demo..... :)

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.

All the nibs screw on and off. The nib that comes on the burner in the package may be on really tight and can't be done by hand. I had to use small pliers to get it started- just don't scratch the actual tip- grab at the base.

I've never replaced the nibs on this stylus. However, if I remember correctly it came with a replacement nib. Also, I've used what I would call the original Bamboo Stylus and have replaced the nibs on it. This stylus seems to use the same nibs both firm and soft. I have both the ACK-20601 and the ACK-20501. I've just tried the ACK-20601 and they fit.

I don't have the extra fine nib, however my medium nib is a graphite. Write great and I am a lefty.

Hi! I'm not really sure. You probably would want to contact Wacom with an email and ask them what kind of nib is needed for the Intros Pen first. If it's the same one on Amazon then I would go with that. That's all I can think of to help you. Sorry and good luc.

My pen works ok. You may try to dip the nib (not the whole pen) in water for a while and then let it dry. The ink always flows better after that.

I dropped my Metropolitan pen and the nib snapped in two. I checked the website, tried their chat customer service, and waited on hold to talk to a customer service rep who was pleasant and promised to email me info on replacement nibs. Her promises are yet to be kept, and there seem to be nary a nib on the market to make things right. There are high end replacement parts that are more expensive than the pen, so it seems this is a buy until it dies kind or item.

When I got mine I used it within days. It still had a bit of a delay in starting to write. You have to press down on the tip and wait a bit for it to get primed or at least mine did. I hope that is all yours needs too. I hope this helps.

It should. The replacement nibs are in the stand. The stand will unscrew and you will see the nibs. When I purchased mine, this was the case.

If the nibs are replaceable, I don't know how. I bought a two-button pen with replaceable nibs for extensive use.

Try unscrewing the barrel, removing the cartridge or converter, and gently flushing the nib and feed assembly with warm running water. That's what I do periodically to clean my Parker. Granted, the ink is a bit watery for a bit when you put it back together, but that's only until the pen dries.

After extensively searching the web for replacement nibs for this pen, I have not been able to find a replacement nib of ANY size.

It comes with a standard medium nib, which in my opinion is a little bold. But you can easily replace it with a fine tip if you wanted.

Yes. All nibs will wear out....eventually. you have to really put some miles on them before they "wear off" the end. But some pens have different sizes, fine, medium, calligraphic, etc. Just Google the procedure. But most modern pens like this one you just buy a different nib. They are not that expensive. This particular one has a kind of medium-bold line. I love it. It makes my cursive writing look waaaay better than it actually does!
