"tips" may be the issue. That is a massive chunk of silver that conducts heat at a furious rate and needs a big solder iron tip to get solder to melt. I found one needs to get teh tip hot, load it with a bit of 1-2% silver solder and then use that to heat the end of the 12g silver wire to get the solder to flow into the join. It doesn't take long if teh heat is there.
