I received my pen, but the additional rollerball nib that comes with it is stuck inside the top end of the barrel and it won't come out. Suggestions?

warm the barrel in a hot bath for a minute or two then tap it on a hard surface to dislodge it. That should work.

I left the whole thing together,held it by the back end and gave it a nice hard arching swing and let centrifugal force help with that. worked like a charm

Wait! There's a rollerball nib? What do you guys mean by the top end of the barrel? Is it in or near the nib area?

Try some hot water. warming up the pen will make it expand and let go of the nib... It may take a couple of tries be patient and be gentle.

My pen arrived in the same condition. However, I did not realize that this was the rollerball nib until AFTER putting ink in it and then coming to the realization that this was, in fact, the rollerball nib. I plan to just use up the ink already in the pen and then attempt to extract the roller nib tip out of the pen body (with tweasers?). It's going to be messy, but oh well.

I also had this issue. I have a TON of Pilot G-2 pens (the pens that the refill with the stylus fits) and I simply took one of their springs out and put it in my pen. Works like a charm. No more play or travel in the ink cartridge....

Im not sure which one you need to buy, it might be a defect with this pen. My advice would be to spend the extra cash on a much nicer one

Have you placed the pen tip in the pen. Place the pen with the spring upward then place the pen cylinder in and that should work.:) I hope that this helps you.

You have to unscrew the pen, and insert the cartridge in the little hole. Put some pressure on it but make sure that you don't break the nib when you are putting it in.

After opening the pen, I find a cartridge and written down the side it says:YEETSEN Roller. I'm really not familier with that name, though perhaps you are. I really don't know if one finds that also on Amazon, but who knows! Maybe so. I'm sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable about all this, but I hope it somehow helps you.

Mine came with a circular clamp type thing, like a ring with a gap in it, and the gap clamped onto the nib when you squeeze the ring. Basically it's like tweezers, so I'd say: use tweezers and grab that nib and pull. It's firmly seated but it does pull out.Haha, or teeth like Nancy says :-)

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'm not too sure. I wasn't very happy with my machine so I only used it once and stored it away. I would contact the seller see if they could sell you just the pen. I probably wasn't too much help. Sorry

Let me first say I am very new at this. When I first got my wood burning tool, I had the same problem but then realized I was trying to unscrew the barrel of where the nib screws into instead of the nib itself. Once I realized my mistake, the nib was very easy to unscrew and replace with another nib.

Hi Lulu! As you can see in the main/first image on the listing, the metal barrel screws off the pen and the tip is then able to be removed, which would also be where you place a new one on and then screw the barrel back in place. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

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.

A few suggestions for your problem, Warren. Firstly, I've found that cartridges just don't work as well as bottled ink. For cleaning, remove the cartridge, insert a converter, and fill the pen with plain (preferably filtered) luke warm water from a glass and empty it out. Do this a few times until the water coming out of the pen is clear. If you don't have a converter then unscrew the nib, drop the whole assembly in the glass and rinse it in the water, changing the water until clear. I suggest cleaning the nib in this way every time you fill it.

The nib is part of the internal ink system so it's not directly attached to the pen, it is removable. The hole the nib extends from is larger than the nib itself so it should be possible to up a nib side but I haven't tried it, I'm happy with the fine point.

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.

It's the same nib that the pen comes with...not sure of the 'size'...doesn't really say on the box. It just seems that some fit more 'snug' than others do. This was the second one that I have refilled. Before this one, I had another one of the same pen that, when I tried to pull the nib out, it broke because it fit quite tightly in the plastic "body" of the pen. I think I got lucky that the one in my current pen fits tight enough not to leak, but loose enough that I can very easily pull it out when I need to refill it and put it back in again. As I said in my review, the current pen I'm using now is on its 10th refill and still going strong! It's the same nib that the pen comes with...not sure of the 'size'...doesn't really say on the box.

there was an extra nib in the package.... i have NOT tried that nib.... i just assumed it was exactly that... an extra nib. I will try it now though, that you mention this thought, to see it it is actually any different....
