The pen is completely dry upon arrival, is there some way to fix this?

You need to push the nib of the pen in to release flux from the pen into the nib. This mechanism is how the flux is contained in the pen rather than leaking from the nib.

anywhere to get additional replacement tips? I've got plenty of juice left but the tip is toast

The tip is called a nib an can be replaced with one from a paint pen or that type of alcohol based paint. As for this specific Flux pen I'm not sure where to find replacements. I'm also still using it for over a year now. And have replaced the nib twice...I prefer a chisel tip nib or brush tip nib over the stock one.

Will this glue aluminum pieces together?

This is flux not glue it is meant to make a metal adhere better to another metal flux helps bonding while soldering it may not work for soldering aluminum but there are flux pastes and gels that are designed specifically for soldering aluminum and tin,copper and so on

Does it have an odor? I want to use it for prepping computer electrical contacts - is that kosher?

It has a very mild "marker" type smell barely noticeable at all and once used there isn't any smell thats noticeable
