Goss made Aviator compatible tips for a while but they discontinued them a year or so ago. Might still be able to find some old stock somewhere.

It could make a big difference if the way you applied flux before was deficient. Frequently you don't dip the rod in flux, you apply flux to the surface of whatever your'e brazing. Building a bicycle...
