The element seems to be a ceramic crystal I think.
It is sandwiched between two brass or copper plates that connect directly to the 100-240v power.
This assembly is wrapped in a plastic film for insolation and clamped to the aluminum headpiece with the hole for the glue.
One of my cheap guns measures 7k ohms cold. This one does not warm up at all.
One measures 4k and heats but not enough to work properly.
One measures 200k ! and gets plenty hot but has no trigger. Rather confusing.
I need more info on the heat element.
I have thought of lightly sanding/smoothing the surfaces that contact the side copper plates.
