The description says 6 cm thickness; should it say 6 mm? I would like to know how thick the nib/tip is

I measured it; the nip's length is 6 mm, the nip's writing surface is about 3 mm //I think "6 cm." might be wrong usage on AD. I don't know what are they are referring to...!

That's weird... hasn't happened to mine yet. I've had for about 2 months now, with semi-regular use. The nib is still working well. I think a 3-pack of nibs is avail on Amazon and inexpensive.

Yes, you can. The nib is an international size 6 I believe (double check that with the fine folks at Goulet Pen Co. if you want expert information). You won't need an entire nib/feed assembly, just the nib. I checked Amazon and didn't see any for sale, but you can find them available online. I have seen size 6 nibs available in everything from Extra Fine through 1.5 mm Italic nibs.

Hi Allen!We have the dimensions of the tips shown in the images/photo section on the listing. The tip diameter is roughly 5mm. These tips are thinner than those of a standard stylus tip, though they are NOT fine tips. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Kindly,Jessie / The Friendly Swede Hi Allen!We have the dimensions of the tips shown in the images/photo section on the listing.

These are NOT a #6 nib. Other Jinhao pens DO use #6, but the Jinhao 250 pens use something smaller (maybe a #5? my Google-fu is weak, and my calipers are misplaced).That being said, the nib & feed are friction-fit and come out quite easily. If you can find a nib in the correct size for them, you can definitely replace it - I've done so on my other Jinhao pens that take a #6.

I think the stylus I order all come with the regular nibs, which I find are too soft. I also find the firm nibs to be too hard. I would like something in-between.

It's a fine nib, but it's similar to an extra fine in other pens. It's about as fine or finer than a Lamy EF, but it writes very smoothly and I love the thinness of the line!

Look for anybody selling #6 extra-fine (EF) nibs. The Goulet Pen Co. sells an EF replacement nib that is $15. They are rebranded German nibs. Basically just look for a #6 nib in any tipping and that should fit these pens if you're willing to pay 3x or more the price of the pen.

Mine came with the Preppy medium nib. This is a Japanese weight medium, labeled 05. I find it somewhere between a European medium and fine.

Mine's nib is labelled "A". It's line is Fine, I would say. I also have a different model Pelikan with a nib labelled "M". The Pelikano Junior's line is definitely finer.According to http://www.nibs.com/TippingSizespage.htm, the Pelikano fine is 0.4mm and the medium is 0.7mm.

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.

G MacMillan, I would say the diameter of the tip is 1/4 inch. It is a little less than a 1/4 inch deep. I have had very good luck with this stylus. Make sure you get the removable tip, and it can be replaced. Mine lasted over a year before needing a replacement. They are also available from the same people that sell the stylus, and very reasonable for 5 replacement tips.

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....

Hey there, in the kit I bought, there are a .5mm, .7mm, and a 1mm sized nib. They write rather smooth, and I am new to learning calligraphy; however, I caution you, once I put the ink cartrage into the pen and capped it when I was finished writing, the ink dried up after a few days. I have yet to figure out why, but just something to be aware of.

This pen has a Transparent disc where the the small (about 1.9mm) center tip sits.The actual "brush" thickness is adjusted by software from hair thin to several millimeters.Hope this helps.
