Which silicon socks?

[tjr1]

I went through half a dozen on a dragon in a few weeks at 250C. Have to take it off to change the nozzle and they all basically crumbled. Any recommendation for good ones?

Half a dozen in a few weeks seems not right.
But you can mold your own ones with the high temp silicone of your choice.

Have you tried official Phaetus ones? I used Dragon SF for a couple hundred hours and original sock is still as good as new

Thx. The first one that came with it must have died but I'll give them another try then.

Love it. Might have a go at that if the genuine Phaetus ones don't last either.
