Hey,

Those new soldering stations you guys are carrying (the Aoyue multifunction in partcular) look amazing! Lets hope when it arrives its as good as it sounds :D

However, one slight problem... no one carries the tip cartridges for them. Any chances you'll start stocking them anytime soon?

Keep up the good work!

Tip cartridges? I guess I don't know what that is.

We carry the replacement element and the iron tips. These two replacement parts should keep your iron running for a good long time.

Sorry for the delay in response, my network has been down some time and this was on the back burner.

The Aoyue rework station requires a tip with a built in heating element, which they call the tip cartridge. Its about three times as long as a regular tip, and has a number of electrical contacts on the end where it connects to the pencil.

I can't seem to find these locally, and Aoyue has yet to respond to my emails, so I'd love to find out if you guys could stock them :)

Thanks!
Grecko
