FS2 said most of what I wanted to say.
Keep your temperatures to at or below 350.
Clean your tip constantly, the brass wool cleaners are the best to use.
Use plenty of flux, on your iron and on your job if needed.
But I really cant understand how you've been going through tips like you have. I've had my 936 tip for over 2 years and it's seen a lot of use and abuse, I've even forgot to turn it off and left it on for a few days at a time, clean it only when it starts to become a problem to solder and the brass cleaner brings it back to near new every time. I've never taken real good care of it, it's just always worked fine
