PSA: My tablet pen nib wore down in 3 weeks and I didn't even notice

I've been doing digital portraits on my Huion tablet for about a month, and last Tuesday I couldn't get any fine lines in the eyes. I figured it was a driver issue or something, but then I flipped the pen over and saw the nib was almost gone, just a nub sticking out. So I swapped in a new one from the pack it came with, and suddenly everything looked sharp again. Has anyone else here wrecked a nib faster than they expected for detailed work?

Man mine wore down even faster than that, it was crazy.

Nah, I gotta push back on that one @rivera.jake. Honestly, I've had mine for over a year now and they still look pretty good. I beat the heck out of them too, running trails and hiking in them almost every weekend. Maybe you just got a bad pair or you're stepping on glass or something? I know some people say the newer models don't hold up like the old ones, but that hasn't been my experience at all. What kind of terrain are you mostly using yours on?

Bet you were just stomping through a box of thumbtacks @rivera.jake and didn't even notice, lol. I swear sometimes these shoes are made of cheese and hope. One wrong step on a loose gravel driveway and you'll be feeling the pavement through the sole in a week.
