Well, I found a new tip ( Ace Hardware ). I have been using it for about a week and pampering it like it was my first car. I even found this web site

And did everything I was supposed before I even plugged the iron in. It looks and works like it is brand new. Until tonight when I noticed a hole in the tip, about the size of a pin head. The tip is still tinned good and works great, but this is when the old tip started going downhill. Any idea where the hole comes from ?
