How do you clean your tip? When I used a Radio Shack iron and cleaning with a damp sponge, the tips didn't last any time at all. I think that's what led to the tips premature death. At least for me.
I switched over to a knock off Hakko soldering station and at the same time started using brass wool to clean my tip. I wonder if the Radios Shack tips might last longer using brass wool to clean them.
Edit: I've had good luck w/the Aoyue 936 since I got it.
