There is now a metal threaded version of the mouthpiece. I had complained to the wholesaler, pointing out the fact that nearly everyone that had this item had complained about the fragile mouthpiece, and they sent me the new part for free. I don't know if they're replacing all of the ones in new packaging, but it does appear they are well aware of the problem. Make sure to contact the seller to find out if you can get the new mouthpiece!

Extremely expensive considering it's basically a glorified soldering iron with a thermostat built in so it doesn't get too hot.
Like everyone else, the mouthpiece broke off the day I bought it. It's made of some super-fragile plastic that cannot withstand any kind of stress whatsoever. And the filter clogs... EVERY TIME. FYI: I use a small brush that came with a hair-clipper and it unclogs it very well!
Also, it will often refuse to turn on because the gas flow is inconsistent... you have to wait until you hear the gas pretty loud and then you can press the button to start it up. Note: it doesn't matter how full the butane chamber is... the gas flow is inconsistent even with a full tank.

3.5 stars.
Great concept... But the plastic mouthpiece broke off almost immediately... And the screens clog up real quickly, reducing draw to a drag.
If IOlite comes out with a next-generation product which addresses those flaws and resolves them, I'll buy another one.

This is a great product. Very well indeed. Be prepared for the mouthpiece to break. It is a fragile plastic straw with a number 10 thread (undersized for any easy purchase threaded pipe). There is quite the catch built-in. The threaded straw is VERY expensive. They must think that because you were willing to overpay for a good product, maybe you will overpay repeatedly for a poor product. If, however, you are imaginative and handy, you will produce a solution. If not, then doNot purchase the will-break product.
