Does anyone know how long the tip lasts? I was sad to find out that the small tip is NOT replaceable. Mine is already showing signs of wear.

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.

ASIN: B00OXBZUJS amPen® Hybrid Stylus Replacement Tip for 3-in-1 Stylus (Small End Only) (5-Pack) looks like it should replace the small end

Unfortunately I only got about a month out of the small tip (which you noted was not replaceable)and because of of the wobbly, noisy, nature of cap end made this pen a very bad investment....

Have only used black one and so far no problems. Tip remains as new with no tears or worn spots. Have used it everyday for at least three hours a day with no evidence of any wear.

I was told by word of mouth that you just dip it into the plant soil when testing then remove it immediately once you get a moisture reading. So sorry that the tip disintegrated :(

If you are asking if the tip can be removed, I checked today, and I don't think so. I didn't want to try to force it and break it, but the whole thing appears to be one piece not meant to come apart.

Any replacement tip should work, as long as they are the same wire size, there shouldn't be a problem

The tips I ordered where for a finer tipped stylus. From what I can see on Amazon it looks like you would have to order a different tip.

I'm sorry, I have no idea where you can get a new stylus tip. I think I would start by asking the sellers if they have replacement tips. Sorry I don't know any more.

Used like how? Linty? Worn tip? The box it comes in made mine linty. The tip on mine looked kinda weird when I got it and wore down really quickly (like a week) so that it didn't glide anymore. It was weird. The seller is awesome and you can contact them about it.

The tip became permanently glued on after a few uses, so I just unscrew the whole top part and apply glue with a toothpick. It's much easier to control that way anyhow. And it doesn't seem to be drying out.

Like all things, it depends on how much you use it. Mine has a spot where the fabric has worn away to the rubber tip, so a replacement is in the near future.

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.

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.

My wife is using it for weeks and has no problem at all. Easy to handle and no overheating. If you are having troubles with the tip, it could be the temperature control set too high or quality control failed. Good luck.

I have no idea the size of the tip. I have no way to measure it as I don't have a mm ruler. But they are of average size and they do not look like the tip can be replaced. I bought these since my husband got a smartphone and uses them frequently. I have them all over the house incase he loses one. I have had better ones and I find these to be cheap in weight and construction but they work for what I want.

Make sure you have the ampen with the remove able tip, I have a older one that the tip is not removable and they look the same. If so follow what Tom Buchanan posted before me.

I would look for a higher quality rubber tip. As I said in my review, SOME of these stylus have a "firm" tip and do not respond well. Probably 3-5 of this pkg will have no problems for about 6 weeks. You get so many cuz you need to pick through them & find the good ones. Good luck!
