Should I remove the round plastic tip?

Absolutely not, that is what makes it work...allowing pen to be held tipped

No! If you attempt to remove the plastic tip the whole thing will break and will need replacement tip, the plastic holds the small rubber piece inside from breaking sooner than it should

No! That's part of the contact system. And be gentle with it or it will break off.

Like Rob Harrison said, a pair of pliers should do the trick. Its pretty stout plastic.

Yeah I think there might have been some plastic cap thing when I got it, but I tossed it, the tip retracts into the pen body, so there is no real exposure.

I had one tip come off, but I fixed it by putting a little super glue around the edges and I put it back on. I haven't had any problems after that.

YES, it needs to be removed, it was a bit hard too. Did not know this before so I didn't have good tools to use for the removal.

The orange tip on mine just screwed out. It will get a little bunged up taking it out, so if you don't plan on putting it back on at any time then you are good to go. I however strongly suggest against taking the orange tip out. It is hard to distinguish the real Desert Eagle from the Airsoft one, once you take the tip out. Even in you are using it in your backyard, one phone call from a neighbor, or someone visiting a neighbor, and the police are not going to be so happy about your removing that. Remove at your own risk.

A word of caution. Try to remove the metal tip as rarely as possible. The metal is "extremely" lightweight and WILL STRIP. Care is not so much the problem as the actual removal. I now leave mine on, wipe the outside and run steam into the frothing pitcher full of water to do any cleaning needed.

I don't know what the tip is to do. I have a iPad and there is no place for the plastic tip to go. So maybe it is for the phones.Hope that this helped you!

Hi Lulu! As you can see in the main/first image on the listing, the metal barrel screws off the pen and the tip is then able to be removed, which would also be where you place a new one on and then screw the barrel back in place. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

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.

Do not remove the plastic insert. The shut off knob may feel "stiff" prior to first use: and require some force to turn to the "off' position. These fittings are easy to work with and perform well.

You'll need an extremely small screwdriver. It is a very small screw that holds the tip on. I hope it helps.

Look at the Gerson Institute web pages for how often. They recommend cleaning the tip with hydrogen peroxide.

I don,t know. however they look like they will last a long time. Even if you needed to replace the tip, it is so cheap that buing another one would be no big deal!

I removed the piece of plastic completely with a small screw driver. But After I screwed the sprout back, it became a little bit looser. Still works though.

My stylus is long but I don't know if I would call it extra long. That being said as long as you can unscrew the tip off you should be able to replace it with these tips.
