I'm trying to figure out why my coupon isn't working. It still says available for backorder. Any other unused coupons out there?

After the first use the tip on this is burned pretty bad. I guess it's normal. Just a heads up this will oxidize pretty good. Won't look shiny and Purdy after 1 use

A better iron will do a better job, and be easier to use. You have to decide if that's worth it. It's not something you can really explain quantitatively or in text.
For instance, a better...

You have to buy METCAL to get HDMI.
Both models are OK but neither are that high quality. Don't confuse Weller's GOOD stuff with the WESD51 or this mid range HAKKO. Both companies as well as...

I use both rosin core solder and standalone flux when I solder, so you're not alone. As far as cleaning the tip goes, try using copper scouring pads instead of a wet sponge I put some inside of an...

He's right^^^.
However I think the coating is iron vs steel.
To restore a badly oxidized tip use a sal ammoniac block and then tin the tip with a tip tinner. (both can be purchased from...

Actually, filing will destroy the tip. These tips (and Weller's) are made of copper covered with a layer of steel covered with tin. Copper is used as a great conductor of heat, and the thin layer of...

The secret of quality soldering is constant temperature at the iron's tip: not too low and not too high. Cheap irons will overheat most of the time.
This Hakko has a temp. sensor (a thermocouple)...

You will require a new soldering tip at some point in the future. Weller tips are available...
