I tend to write small, and my pen strokes being slightly distorted results in unpleasant-looking notes. I've changed tips, and the same thing happens rather quickly; I'm becoming worried that I'll have to look for replacements (and they will likely be expensive).

I use them until they are flattened and pretty worn. I take copious notes but the tips last me a long time. I write about 80 pages a month of notes. A tip lasts about a month to six weeks. I don't press hard when I write, maybe you are? I try to get the most out of the tips but you're right, it does impact handwriting and I imagine sketching as well as the tip flattens. I don't write small, not big either, kinda in between so that may be why you can't go too long without replacing the tip because of your smaller handwriting. This is a case of the Gillette principle, selling the refills although the product you're "feeding" is expensive (maybe not the Gillette principle). Hope this helps.
