Default Can you buy replacement nibs for LePlume blender pens?

I bought a different brand hoping they would fit but they were too big. I have done a search, but not much luck. Do you just keep buying new pens when the tips get worn out? Any other suggestions?

The only (non-alcohol) blender pens I know of with replaceable nibs are the Dove brand.

So kind of blender pen do you buy...or doesn't anyone really use them that much? I have just discovered using them with WC Crayons, but my tips are getting kind of icky!

The nib in the LePlume is definitely not replaceable. Neither is the Tombow. Julie is correct: you'll need to get the Dove if you want to replace the tip. Copic has a blender pen (but with an alcohol-based ink) in each of the styles (copic, sketch, wide and ciao). I think wide is the only nib that isn't replaceable on the copics.

I use the LePlume markers and blender pen. I use a different blender pen for each color family of shades. When/if they get shaggy and don't work as well, I just purchase a new one. They are not that expensive. I also do clean my blender pen so that helps it to last longer too.

ALL copic marker nibs are replaceable, and ALL copic marker types are refillable so ANY type of copic marker (copic, sketch, ciao, wide) will last you a long long time if you just refill and replace
