Each cartridge is equipped with a self-regulating heater which ‘senses’ its own temperature and closely maintains its pre-set idle temperature for the life of the heater-tip; all controlled by OK International’s proprietary SmartHeat® Technology. The tip temperature is determined by the inherent metallurgical properties of the heater; no external adjustment or equipment is required.
