Common Issues 

 

We have been selling this product for several years and customers love it. So far, there are only 
three (3) main issues that other customers have brought to our attention. Please read below on 
how you can avoid the same issues. 

 

 

Swapping tips into a different burning pen

 

Some customers contact us after bending a tip to its breaking point because they want to fit it 
into another brand of wood burning pen. Although it may be possible to swap your tips into 
another wood burning brand, it might take a lot of dexterity and precision bending to do so—
not to mention effort– and there’s no guarantee that they would work well if they eventually fit. 

 

The tips provided with your set performs best when used with the TRUArt brand but if you 
already own another brand of wood burning pen and would like to use the TRUArt tips on your 
old burning pen, it is strongly suggested that you create your own tips from scratch using Ni-
chrome wire. We may be able to help you acquire some if you would contact us through email.  

 

There are many videos online that teach how to make your own pyrography tips from Nichrome 
wire.

 

 

Sporadic heating

 

Although very rare (if ever), the tip does not heat up properly (i.e. slow heat up at maximum 
voltage setting). If this happens, check if the tip is not broken or has a minute crack. Also check 
that the tip holders are screwed in tight on the tip and that all power cables are connected 
properly. Nothing should be loose. 

 

If this still does not fix the problem, please contact us at [email protected].

 

 

No heat

 

Very few have reported that the pen does not heat up. Please perform the checks previously 
mentioned and if it is still the same, it might be that you received a defective burning pen. 
Please contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible about it.
