how often do you have to replace the tip?

I am a student so I use the stylus to take written notes for organic chemistry and math, a LOT. I'm actually searching amazon for a more durable tip for this stylus's tip only lasted me around a couple weeks before I had to change out for a new one. I bought the replacement tips as well and I'm almost done with all of them (5). Also, the barrel broke apart so the tip doesn't stay in well anymore. The stylus was only good while it lasted..

From what we understand..it is only when the fiber is severally worn or damaged. We haven't had ours for any period of time for that to occur yet. Keeping it clear of items that can damage the tip is the only thing at this point we're concerned with. We use ours quit a lot every day and haven't changed a tip yet. If it feels as though it is dragging....wipe the screen...then wipe the tip also...it works for us. Hope this helps.

My wife and I have been using them constantly for about 2 weeks and I haven't noted any decrease in performance. I have used a similar tip to this and they last quite a while. It's nice to have replacement tips because you know you're going to have the same stylus.

We just bought this so I'm not sure, but I can't imagine it would be very often.

Yes tips can be replaced. They sell them on-line. They are not too expensive. Why not just google Go Smart Tip? $6.95 Amazon - I mean I am sure you want more feedback than that. Yes they do break and if you don't have one too bad. Also if the wire breaks too close to the body very difficult to install - i had to replace the entire pen. For free of course from Go Smart. They are very good to deal with. I have switched to a MicroKnit tip - they are just OK - not the writing experience that you get with the GoSmart. But for me durability wins. If I worked at a desk or in an office I would stay with GoSmart. On the road - I wear the knit cap! Yes tips can be replaced. They sell them on-line. They are not too expensive.

yes, I don't think you would ever need a replacement, also you get tips with your purchase, and an extra heating element. unit shuts down when not in use for a few min. to save tip and element. I use mine daily, never a problem. Pencils and a wide assortment of tips are avaliable.

I purchased in 2011 and the tips were removable. I just use them in a basic mug or glass.

Mine lasted three days. They unscrew really REALLY easily, and I would not recommend paying nearly $8 plus shipping for 5 tips. They just want to keep making money off of you.

It depends on if it is overpacked. Tips once in a while but not often and not a problem. I LOVE this thing!

I replace my brush about every 6 months. According to anything you read, your supposed to replace the brush, probably every 30-60 days, however, I use the brush as directed, w/o much pressure (but some, of course), and my bristles are straight and in great shape for an extended amount of time. I feel that I get a significant amount of life out of every brush -better than I initially expected. Additionally, I have tried off-brand brushes, and I have not had a good experience. The off-brand brushes had considerably less power than the Philips brand brushes.

If you have tried the suggestions from others who responded to your question, I would contact the manufacturer. Be sure the brushhandle is fully charged and the brush is attached fully to the handle. They only last about 3 or 4 months before being replaced if you use the brush even once a day then gradually slow up in rotation. This is the signal to replace the brush.

That depends on each individual family. More than one can use this, by just changing tips. Also how it's taken care of, it will last a long time

I clean out the inside with a damp q-tip. But, don't forget to replace the tip every 3 or 4 months, depending on how much you use it.

This version does not have replaceable tips. They are pretty sturdy though, so they should last a while. They sell a more expensive version with replaceable tips.

The rubber tip seems to be fastened in pretty well and the top doesn't unscrew, so I don't believe that these tips are meant to be replaced.

I have not had to replace it yet, I use mine almost everyday. purchased it almost a year ago. It is very sturdy, I have other brands handles break. I love this brush.

I don't use mine on a regular basis, but if I recall there was something in the instructions regarding the tip and the function of the unit or non function as you are experiencing. I have had no issues with my unit.

Yes if you buy the set of different tips you can swap them out. The tips wear down over time so need to be replaced. Though they do last quite a long time.

I've had my old one for well over 10yrs and have never had to change the tip cause it still hasn't broken

Suggest you call NeilMed with that question. I have been using Sinugator for 3 months, twice a day. I wash the cup and the tips once a day and weekly put the cup and tips in the microwave for one minute. I see no reason to consider replacing the tips.
