I can't touch the barrel due to its intense heat. Is there something wrong with my Paul Mitchell Express Ion

I don't know how high you're turning it up, but I use it at about 320 degrees and the barrel gets hot where the plates are but not the handle area.

I haven't taken mine to the range yet. I'm actually headed there today. I would suggest that you unmount it put it back on and try to re zero.

The heating element is not exposed to water (I assume that's the question?) I had feared that would make it heat more slowly than another kettle I have where the element is exposed.

most of the heat comes from the tubes... and they are in the open. I wouldn't touch them after it has been on for a while.. they are very hot.

I heated water over gas. The major issue would be the transfer of heat to the handle. Be careful.

Lots of rounds means heat, this means that metal will eventually move a bit. There is a chance that it will move forward on the barrel but the tolerance on the one I have is such that lateral movement is unlikely.

The air at the top of the new cartridge needs to be bled off. I just left my grease gun in a hot place (July sunshine) for a few minutes with the pump end up and loosened about 1 turn.

Same issue here. I'm fairly sure that mine is overloaded (3/4 or 1 HP pump) and the Triac (electronic) switch inside gets too hot and fails to turn off. Unplugging it for a while to cool down makes it work again for a while. At low duty cycle (off a lot more than on) it works OK. I can't find one that works as well that is rated for lager pumps.

The barrel does get pretty hot, but I touch it when the hair is wrapped around it.

If your elements are still lit up and it stays hot, there must be a problem with it. Mine does neither of those things. I'd return it, I think :).

The trick here is to get the Laserlyte far enough down the barrel. After putting it back in following an actual shooting session, I didn't take my time and didn't get it far enough down the barrel. Broke the switch after about three shots. Laserlyte replaced it free of charge, including shipping both ways. Worked fine, before and after said incidentI highly suggest eyeballing a regular round seating in the barrel, then putting the Laserlyte just a skosh further down. Pricey, but you get a great product and great service. Just sent my stepbrother one for his .45's. He seems to like it as much as I do.

I think that rifle is destroyed, and you should send it to me. I'll make sure it is taken care of, or perhaps I'll send it to Sara Brady. Seriously, don't use anything to clean the bore, except soft cleaning pellets. Don't shoot the pellet through, but use a 17 cal. rod to push them from the loading port (breech) to he end of the muzzle. Basically, push them in the same direction that a pellet would be fired. They really don't require cleaning because you are not burning smokeless gun-powder. Just shoot the gun, and see if it's okay. If not, you're out about 100 bucks.

If you been shooting a lot of lead pellets from it or copper bb's you may want to clean the barrel first, just like any rifle or pistol. The lead or copper build up will cause inaccuracy after a while of shooting. I shot these out of my Crossman Pump master 760, and they did very well. Remember to use proper safety equipment, and always exercise proper gun safety rules before, during, after shooting!

I cannot get mine to get passed a very little warm sensation and it is a useless rip off if you ask me! I have never been so disappointed with an item as I have this one. I think that this should be taken off Amazon all together! Sorry I cannot help with your question and sorry you have been ripped off too!

read directions carefully; you are probably using too much fuel (squeezing trigger too quickly).

I had the same issue. Make sure the piece that covers the nozzle is on snug and all connections are snug ( no air seeping out of the hose extension) . The solution that comes with the gun is terrible. You won't get a good spray with that solution! I had to order Norvell Venetian however I use Lavish Tan organic solution now.

That is what I experienced. The salt is required to get the steam going strong. I just wish it had a bigger reservoir.
