How does this pen open? Is it a twist of the cap to advance the cartridge?

It's a standard clicker pen. Really easy to use. You twist the endcap to replace the ink cartridge. It's a wonderful pen!

I returned this pen after receiving as it was not what I originally thought. Unfortunately, unable to answer your question.

Push the cartridge onto the nib to puncture. It will not puncture by twisting the bottom of the pen onto the top.

Hi Cheryl, first you twist the "piston" part (the red end) till the end of the piston...inside the converter...is all the way down to the end of the converter, forcing all the air out of it. You'll see the whole piston in the length of the clear plastic tube of the converter. Then you dip the end of the converter into the ink bottle (you might get a little ink on your fingertips doing this...I always do) and twist the red part again in the other direction till the piston is drawn back up into the body of the converter. This "sucks" ink out of the bottle & into the converter. Dab any little bit of excess ink off the open end of the converter with a paper towel or something (ink won't spill out of the converter or anything, its kinda held inside by pressure or what have you) then stick that sucker into your fountain pen. :-) You may or may not have to twist the piston back down a tiny bit to "push" a little ink into your pen's nib to get the flow started. Hope this helps. --John Dunn, Harrison AR

It's a pen with a soft rubbery tip on one end. You twist it to bring the pen tip down. I've only used it as a stylus, I haven't used the pen part yet.

It's a twist, and the highlighter is a cap that you pull off. I love these pens...use them everyday as a nursing student :) I hope that helps...

Very simple...Open as you would any regular pen by twisting the Nib which opens it and allow you to remove the converter and replace it with the ink cartridges...

Its easy just pull the pen apart and pull the old cartridge out of its holder and stick the new one in there a little tuff sometimes to pull out but shouldn't harm it as an aircraft maintainer I use my aviator pen everday don't leave home without it. hope this helps you.

The cap is the pen itself. It untwists and you flip it around inside of itself. :)

It's a twist at the end of the tube, right near the spray orifice. It's easy to turn but very awkward if you want to turn and aim it one-handed.

No. Most twist pens have stepped plastic piece on the end. Google Parker ballpoint refill to see what I mean.

I've has several of these pens and I don't recall have any play in the pen whether the ink cartridge was in or out. Maybe it's not screwed on tight enough?

Unscrew the pen just above the nib area, mid-pen. Pilot cartridges fit the opposite way you'd think they would, with the tapered end farthest from the nib. Push down on the cartridge; it fits over the nib area and will be pierced as you press down.

My pen was the same way. I just realized that the carbide tip is threaded as well as the hidden key. Just use a pair of pliers to tighten it down and it will be fine.

There is a notch on the cartridge and a notch inside the brass tube that the cartridge goes into line both notches. The cartridge will rotate correctly.

When I first got the pen it was very hard to open. I had to pull super hard to get the cap off. Just keep trying has hard and you can and over time it becomes easier to get the cap off.

I keep my cap on, so I can't directly answer the question. However, the ink flow stays steady throughout the life of the cartridge and doesn't run or gum up like some other pens.
