Best high temp tape?

Re: Best high temp tape?

My hot air nozzles go for around 50$+. Can I use non-Weller nozzles for my Weller WHA900? It'd be nice if I could grab some cheaper ones.

post some foto's of the original nozzle, and the bit it fits on,
together with the diameter of the bit it fits on.

Here ya go. What's nice is that it can take tips like Tip2.jpg. If I have a tip like Tip2.jpg, I can put it directly over the chip and it'll heat mostly just the pins. Then, because of the way it's designed, it'll create some vacuum effect and lift the chip off the board, if I have it pressed right down on the chip, supposedly. I haven't tried it yet because those fancy tips go for a lot.

According to my very cheap caliper, the outside diameter of the blower end (or maybe it's called a wand, I dunno) is almost 20mm. The internal diameter of the tip is maybe 20 1/4mm?
