I got myself a tungsten nozzle, thinking it would last forever…

Today I tried to clean it with a needle (learning after about many suggestions not to do so) and the needle snapped inside the nozzle, quickly fusing to the clog…

I’ve tried blasting it with a kitchen torch, without success at loosening this thing. Any tips?

Thanks!
