Much less complicated ... I apply glue through a hypodermic needle all the time... but then again I've never needed to resort to hot-melt glue.
 And yes, occasionally I do have to clear the needle by forcing a sewing needle through it, but it can be safely left open for quite some time. A sewing pin is used to block the tube for storage though.

The fellow explains that it takes longer to heat up with the long tip and suggests cutting it shorter if you want quicker heat up. Glue guns are cheap enough to make a dedicated long-nose one, IMO. The hot glue is useful for more than just glue. It is an excellent filler and can be 'cast' into molds, making parts that can be painted. Very useful indeed. The long nose tip will make filling the molds much easier.

Yeah I've used to to hold broken parts like power plug on laptops and also to replace the rubber feet when lost off of the bottom of them.
Of course I've heard it glues small wood parts very well........  I used to make tiny wooden Christmas ornaments, that's how I got my first Hot Glue gun way back in the late 70's............ still the best one I ever had.
