    You are doing something wrong if a hakko 936 fails within a month.
    Maybe your iron is set too hot?
    Always keep a solder blob on the tip when not in use.
    Use proper cleaning methods for the tip.

    If your tip is oxidized: Let it heat up, put flux on it and let it burn. Clean your iron with a wet sponge or even better with "steel wool". Apply some solder and turn it off. Never let the iron cool down without solder on the tip. This will ruin them really fast due to oxidization.

        Will help for sure. I ruined many tips in the past because of oxidization.
        I haven't ruined one since taking a little bit more care for them.
