| the reason being, there is a normal nib inside on the eraser end. now I could really use a nib replacement but the extra one that came with my tablet is of course lost. I could order new ones from wacom but it's 10 +10 handling, $20 bucks to keep an old artpad II going, when I should really just buy at least a grapphire at this point. what do you guys think I should do? Should I try to open the pen and snatch out the eraser nib? should I just buy some replacement nibs? or should I save my money and get a grapphire? |

buy plastic toothpicks, cut them and use those for nibs.
there are some that are too thin but most fit, try it. |

hahahahaha. that is one hell of a good suggestion. im gonna try that. the only store that imports wacom stuff where i live charges crazy loads of money for those nibs.
im gonna try it, even though im still not sure if you're joking or not |

| no idea if that would work, the nibs are nylon - so i guess they'd work if the toothpicks are made of nylon.. |
