If used for longer periods of time does the grip get hot? It is hard to tell from the image how protective the grip is from the heat - TIA

The rubber grip does Not get hot. However, the metal ring near the grip does get hot. In the picture to the left, from where the versa shows it sitting on the stand, to the right of the stand gets as hot as you set the temperature. I love mine it is worth every penny. I love it so much I purchased one for a friend.

No, the grip stays cool. I used for nearly an hour and the grip never got hot

Nope! I've used mine without turning it off, or taking breaks, for well over an hour and haven't felt it get hot yet.

not the grip really. With long periods of use it does get hot but it is a radient heat from the tip. the grip and handle stay cool as in they will not burn you but the hand you are holding it will get warm.- I hope that helps.

It has good grip. Just if you play games on your phone for a long time. You know how your hand gets sweaty. Once it gets sweaty just dry your hand and case and you will be good.

The handle does get hot after a few minutes. I usually use a towel or an oven glove to hold the handle. I am using an outdoor, high BTU burner and use high heat, so that may make a difference.

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

It has tendency to get hot after so many minutes. Being a hunter you need to spot object for short period of time. For long time use l recommend

You shouldn't be worried about the grip. The rubber has a near tacky feel and has a great fit in the hand. I am 6' and wear size large gloves. Great feel. You won't be disappointed.

I found that a bit disconcerting, since I owned three of the earlier models - and was almost afraid that it was going to come off in my hand. Been using it for going on two years and it has never caused a problem, though. You are right, it does FEEL weird!

My handle routinely gets too hot to touch. The insulating handle material (neoprene-like) has changed since I first purchased this model, some years ago. (The old model never became too hot to touch.) My new, 2015 model will get too hot, requiring a pot holder. If I position the pot VERY carefully, and adjust the flame precisely, this problem will not occur.

yes, the handle gets a little hot when you have it in for a long time, but just be careful when removing it. I heat it in the microwave every so often.

I loved mine before the plastic clip snapped with in 12 months. I live in California, so it does get hot sometimes, but still, one year?!

Hi! Yes the heat goes all the way to the fingers. My whole hand is warm except palm. It's mainly top of glove and finger tips. It feels really good. I don't have any other heated gear and I'm still riding in Philly/Jersey area.

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

Yeah it gets really hot. Just like a flat iron would. The glove helps if you have little experience with the wand. I have burned myself, but not badly.

The backside it quite hot. I doubt it would burn, but becomes uncomfortable after 5-10Secs of contact. The soft-touch front is a little cooler and can be touched 30-40secs+ in my experience...

Have been wearing them for nearly a year and have not experienced that yet. They do hold heat very well and make my hands very hot after a while

The handle has a silicone rubber sleeve over it so it will only get warm, not hot. You will not burn your hand when picking it up.

Yes it stays cool and doesn't get hotat all. Also, there's enough grip room to hold it with your fingers
