Torch tip blew apart on me Friday at the Shell refinery job

I was running a rosebud tip on a 6-inch header repair down in Baton Rouge when it just popped. Sounded like a shotgun went off in the pipe rack. Boss handed me a spare tip from his box and told me to quit buying cheap Chinese stuff off Amazon. Anyone else had a torch tip fail on you like that mid-weld?

Yeah, that "cheap Chinese stuff off Amazon" is exactly what I've been telling the new guys...

I mean, is it really worth getting worked up over? It's just basic gear, not like they're building a space shuttle.
