Tony, I think it's the plastic tube that causes that but I'm not sure. There's a difference for sure. I like using the no-burn wand better but I'm sure, eventually, I'll remember not to grab the new wand when it's hot.My machine seems to steam a lot better with the new wand and the foam is definitely different. It was a big change in the right direction for me. I may try to find an adaptor and go back to the no-burn wand but the adaptor that I had didn't fit and I didn't want to mess up the threads on a hundred dollar tip. Herman
