Don't waste your money...only 1 out of 4 worked and buying batteries to get the others to work cost more than the total cost of the pen!

I haven't used them frequently but they seem to always work when the grand kids come no matter how long it has been between uses. They have a blast with them. Hope this helps.

Yeah, they are pretty durable for earbuds in this price range. I use them all the time (like 4 hours a day) they are in and out of my pocket and my kids play with them. They last me about 7 - 10 months, I guess.

I don't know how often you use them but I have had some for up to 6 months and haven't any trouble with them. Hope this has been helpful. Thanks Bert

Hello from San Diego! They do not bleed and these are the pens that my mentor and Bible study teacher/leader endorse. I've only used a few colors so far, but the brown pen has leaked somewhat, be I saw the leaking before it cause any problems. I hope you choose these great tools. God Bless you in your studies.

Prashant K., While these are the BEST pens I've ever used (I'm an editor and teacher and use pens ALL the time), unfortunately they can NOT be refilled (just disposed of). I buy them anyway---not because I'm rich, but because of the high quality of the pens. They're the best. Sorry for the bad news, but hope this information helps you in making your decision. Sincerely, David Kopp, St. Louis, MO

No, after a couple of months the tip loses it's "plumpness" and becomes difficult to move around the screen. That's why this is a good deal, inexpensive pens, you don't want to spend BIG on these. The ones that costs more last no longer than these cheap ones .

I've purchased both the colored pens and the black pens and have had only one pen leak on me. I have followed other reviewer's instructions on "being gentle" and not pressing too hard or shaking them and the pens have lasted me for almost 6 months using them pretty regularly.

The insulin pens stay cool up to 12 hours. My husband also uses the cold blocks you can purchase at many drug stores. As the gel pack started to leak.

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

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

I've had the same tip on mine since I bought it about a year ago, and it still works the same as the first day. They probably do get damaged, but it hasn't happened to me yet. The black tips have a rubber coating on the tip to provide more friction ( like writing with a pencil) while the white tips are smooth plastic ( like writing with a pen)

I use my pen daily and the tips have lasted 6-7 months. I purchased the replacement caps without reading that the cap end was not replaceable. If you use both ends they both wear out, duh. Why would you only want to replacement ONE end. I like the pen but wouldn't buy another until they make BOTH caps replaceable.

I used them for about 10 hours total and the only one that ran out of ink quickly was the black one. 5 hours into their use the black one was half full. Also the tip wears down depending how hard you press so keep it light.

I use them everyday for business meetings and find they are reliable but haven't subjected them to furious note taking in a classroom. The ink is very strong and can bleed through to the reverse side of cheap notebook paper. But, that said, they are a delight to write with so I guess it might be worth trying them out even if you decide to keep them for projects.

I have had one long enough to use all the ink I would keep an eye on the batteries. If your stylus starts feeling warm, take the batteries out and examine them and test them. I had an extra set of batteries in my desk and they separated and left battery residue in my desk. When I contacted the maker they sent me 2 new stylist without any questions. One stylist burned a hole in my shirt. Still, they are the best stylist on the market. I don't know if I answered your question.

My dad is still using his, even past the 30-days. He rinses it off each morning and re-uses it that night. He has no problems with his. I think the box said it lasts about 30 days, but I could be wrong about that. They seem durable and reliable to him. He is happy with the one I ordered for him and said it works for him.
