I am clueless. There is no nib or means to write. Where do I begin? I learned to write with a fountain pen - but I've been too long with ballpoints

You pull the cap off, which exposes the nib and then unscrew the pen and put an ink cartridge in. This pen is great to use.

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

The pen comes with a nib and converter installed. However, you will have to buy ink and fill the converter before you can write. I have Sheaffer Skrip and Private Reserve ink and love both.

Make sure you have the correct pens. I bought extra pens that i thought would work.. and NOPE they didnt. With the pens that came with the box, sometimes i would have to wet them a little and pump and pump hard and then they would work. Good luck. :)

Hi glad to help if I can. I have the Skilcraft pen and it is a very good and useful pen. It is a single pen with a portion of the barrel that rotates to raise (and lower) three different writing tips; red ink, black ink and a mechanical pencil (.5mm). There is a useful eraser on the top - you just unscrew the cap to find the eraser.

I can't answer that question directly because I seem to remember that it varies by production, and sometimes you can get a choice. If the nib is medium, and you want fine, that is a pretty easy adjustment to make yourself. The other way is much more difficult. Perhaps you should call if there is a phone number available. Noodlers has very fine products, well worth the money (I have no relationship with the company).

Firstly, make sure that you've loaded the ink properly. If you haven't loaded it, or loaded it improperly then that may be the source of your issue. Secondly, it can take a little while for the ink to work it's way down to the writing nib on a new fountain pen. My advice is to treat it the way you would a ball-point pen that won't write at first, i.e. give it a bit of a gentle shake and then scribble on a piece of paper for a bit. The ink should start flowing in short order then. If not, then there may be other problems. Hope this helps.

Hello, first of all my pens were garbage, none would write. I just threw them out. As far as I could tell the pen nibs were all the same. Hope you have better luck.

Don't hit the nib or press hard on it as other commented. Doing so can permanently open up the nib and you will get a pen that runs constantly. You can place a tissue under the nib or run water on it to make the ink flow. Once you see the ink, you can start writing. Every once in a while, clean the nib by soaking in a cup of water. Dried ink will clog the nib. Air dry thoroughly before use. Also, make sure you have the cartridge inserted hard enough that it breaks the seal. You might have to push it in a bit so it will stay connected. Make sure the cartridge is new.

A Parker (flow) medium ballpoint pen refill is what my husband uses for his. I did not get his engraved, but I believe with an experienced engraver (the seller offers it) there would be at least room for 17 characters. Good luck, it is a beautiful pen.

not from Genius unless you want to order a whole new pen. I found universal tips for the pen on ebay. 10 for 5.55

I've seen the nibs for the pens sold separately, but I'm unsure about the pens. I'm sorry.

You really should work on your problem solving abilities. Perhaps you can start with a crossword puzzle after you get your new pen working.

I filled mine by dipping in ink. It should not be a hard start to write. If anything dip in ink or rub a damp paper towel across the nib

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

Using a BIC 4-color ballpoint pen is a lot of fun. That is what we used back in my day. You can change colors with just one pen. http://smile.amazon.com/BIC-4-Color-Medium-Assorted-3-Count/dp/B002JFR8Q8/ref=pd_sim_op_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1TFYBATWH7FC1479W8TK

Did you ever get a response about replacement tips/nibs? I'm facing the same question.
