| Just yank it out. Stick it in your mouth, bite down lightly on the tip, and pull. It comes right out for easy cleaning. The only thing holding it in there is friction. |

I'd use tweezers to get it out, rather then using teeth.
But that's just me.
Also, it should have come with a little bundle of like three or four replacement nibs and instruction on how to use them.
Take it easy,

I suggest you replace your tips when they get all sharp..
Like my nib got heaps sharp from me pressing it on an angle...
and eventually it started to cut into my overlay..
Grrr.. I dont know can you get new overlays? |

The nibs are approximately 2.5 cm long (1 inch)...
You will need to make sure the pen is in properly because the pen trip travel is 0.1 mm or less, so that could affect your sensitivity if you don't get it right in.
Here's the pdf manual how to:
