How do I change tips? I want to take off the tip that came with it but I can't figure it out for the life of me.

The tip (nozzle) is part of the tip/guard assembly and removes as a unit. It is removed by loosening the retaining nut at the base of the assembly. The retaining nut is silver with 4 flats that are 1 3/16" apart with standard threads (loosen counterclockwise). The retaining nut should not be overtightened (I change my tips by hand only). The tip cannot be removed from the tip/guard assembly.

Look at photos of the replacement nozzles for sale and you can see that the entire spray head including the reversing handle comes off by loosening the big silver nut near where the blue plastic begins on the gun. You cannot just replace the orifice like big airless guns. They are readily available for about 45.00

It's on the DVD that accompanied the sprayer. If I could attach that segment of the DVD, I'd send it Matt.

The tips are pretty universal. You should be able to find compatible replacements for a few bucks on amazon. They're compatible with the sony tips I had left over btw.

The tip is a rubber gromment and can be pulled off with a little force. You may need to apply a little glue to get it back on.

Hi. Yes you can use the standard tips. I have not had any issues with them.

I actually just used the last one I ordered yesterday and I discovered the same issue. The previous one I had from a few years ago did screw on (the tip), but this newer one does not. Looks identical. So far for me I cannot see it being a big deal, but I do hope they change it back so the tip will screw on for a more secure fit.

The tips I ordered where for a finer tipped stylus. From what I can see on Amazon it looks like you would have to order a different tip.

Do you mean the memory foam tips? If so, please twist and pull gently and the tips will come off. All units now ship with a small amount of lubricant placed on the tips during manufacturing. This will make removing the tips much easier. If you have had a problem in the past, please contact us and we will send you new tips free of charge.Thanks, The AirBuds Team

I'm not sure; I've never used the replacement tips. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have never been able to find any. I suspect it may be a racket to get you to buy a whole new one when the tips wear out. I fell for it twice. No more.

Replace it through the tip - plastic end first, while holding in the other end. It should slide right in.

Make sure you have the ampen with the remove able tip, I have a older one that the tip is not removable and they look the same. If so follow what Tom Buchanan posted before me.

Yes you will need to take the old tip off. You just need to pull it kinda of hard and it should pop right off.

The tip is like the picture here: http://www.tequipment.net/Weller7135N.html?Source=Google&gclid;=CJXioc2m1boCFcw7MgodkVoAgQ

Dear friend, thanks for your inquiry. You don't have to remove the original tips, and install the item on it. The item is designed for protecting the original tips. Thank you.

Unplug it from the base. Unscrew the tip retainer and remove it and any tip you might have on it. Holding the handle, unscrew the black plastic ring that has the metal tip retaining threads embedded in it. Once that's off you gently push the cable through the handle exposing all of the solder connections. Now comes the tricky part, you need a functional soldering iron to desolder the old and resolder the new element boards. look it up online ....how to replace heating element in a 9378 solder station.....hope this helps.

The tip from the factory is on extremely tight. Be patient, I found using a 6-pt wrench rather then the tool sent with it, to remove the tip worked. Good luck

The "tip" if you will is basically a quick (dis)connect attachment for the tips that came with it. Put that on and use the allen screws built into it to tighten it really good. Then you just grab it and slide it down towards the hammer itself, which allows you to insert the tips, then let go and they should be locked in. They won't be locked in tight, because otherwise the hammer isn't able to do it's job and move them, but you should be unable to pull them back out without sliding down the collar again.
