Thank you for more informations as with the doctor.  Give us a history  please.

Epic, what happen  (perhaps a blob   hooo) ?  why upgrade ?   the original material is good, very good for most users.

I was changing my nozzle, and it was tighter then I expected. When I tried to loosen it i placed my pliers over the wires and I accidentally broke them as well as melting the fan shroud. So since I messed it up beyond repair I was wondering if I should just replace it or upgrade it now that I have to take it apart anyway. 

And I am using the MKS3.

Did the exact same thing and bought a Dragon hotend so I wouldn't need pliers anymore to change nozzles.

I did the same thing on one of my printers.  I upgraded to a Dragon Hotend from aliexpress and I have a Spider hotend on the way.
