It almost sounds like the iron is too hot. What temperature is it set
for? If it has no temperature dial, you might consider a 120v->100v AC
stepdown transformer. They're fairly common. (As a travel-transformer for
folks visiting from Japan, at least. This means that they're sold
domestically, however).
