Has anyone else had a problem with the tip being to hot and unable to handle it for that reson?

My wife is using it for weeks and has no problem at all. Easy to handle and no overheating. If you are having troubles with the tip, it could be the temperature control set too high or quality control failed. Good luck.

Yes, the tip is very hot and is designed in an odd way. It should be longer so you can hold it, but also it should be a COOL tip not a hot one. I wish I wouldn't have bought this product. It was bigger in dimension than I originally thought -- which is my own fault -- but I'm not in love with the thing. I burned my forehead a good one with it! Arrgh.

The stock tip that comes with the regular zippo butane worked for me. Make sure to fully discharge the lighter with a pen or other pointy tip first. Good luck

I've never had that problem. Mine has worked fine since I got it. You might want to check and make sure its not getting to hot.

Nope, I haven't found that it gets too hot to handle. It gets warm but not unbearable. I have used it on both the low and medium settings. Hope that helps!

I would try a little water in there and I had to do some adjusting on the tip when I first used it but once I got it adjusted we were fine. Listen for air leaks and make sure you have that tip adjusted for the right spray.

Is your tip fully connected? Is there any solder on the tip? Have you turned up the temp and soldered a joint? Is your heat gun accurate? Does the light blink or stay lite?

Not had that issue. Check batteries, and too be sure tip is installed correctly. Good Luck, a great tool for infants/toddlers.

I tried the sharpie dying a bit on it and that method does work but as far as heat you have to be careful.. It can take some heat but not much.. If you use too much you'll fry it.. I did to an end which I was trimming anyways :P

Youll find that tip wears till its end. Another possibility is excesive dry of the element but It shouldnt happen since you keep it close and away from direct light. Use as much as you want in order to feel confortable while playing. This is a good one in my gear.

happened to me too...i contacted the seller and they told me that it usually shuts down if it over-heats and should work after some time...but that never happened to mine so i returned it and got a refund...

Just push the cap onto the tip. That's it. Are you sure you didn't break the tip?

My handle didn't get hot but the barrel got too hot to touch. The heater shopped working on the last two of these I bought so I switched brands.

Try lowering the Temperature setting. I have mine set near center position which is plenty hot unless you need to scald.

Extremely hot. So hot that it will start a fire. It will actually heat up enough to compromise the integrity of the tip, effectively melting it. You have to be extremely careful when using this device.
