I have used this type too, and feel it is preferable to the unheated
bulb types. Works best if the sucker endpiece is placed over the
suckee area in such a way as to make a good seal. However, these
jobbers do get quite hot, [and being Radio Shack] the tips tend
to deteriorate too quickly, and the seal suffers. Might help to
use a heat controller [triac, etc].
