@Julian >mediakek

what can go wrong

many things

it could destroy what you plug into it

it could burn your house down

it can be a hub instead of a switch

Anyone here get a soldering iron from Ali?

i have a t12 thingy

i think some others have have ts100/ts80s

Is it any good?

yeah, all 3 i named are

each has their pros/cons compared to the other

mostly personal preference

Are the tips that come with them any good?

@Tervy link for that plushie?

think so, but for the t12 you could also buy genuine hakko t12 tips

ts100 has a few options for tips

ts80 has not many iirc

Ty I'm prolly gonna buy a T12

there's like a gazillion different versions of the T12 one tho

real talk is there anyway to disable completely yanwen from aliexpress?

I keep buying shit and not checking the shipping method

i rather pay 1 more buck for cainiao or aliexpress shipping

Prolly the KSGER one

Internals look the best

KSGER VSQuicko

they are pretty much identical but ksger

from the official store*

if you can even trust those images

the bottom one is missing the rtc battery

I'll open it it and make a dispute if it's not the same

but the top one doesn't appear to have the tip grounded

unless it's grounded through the mounting hardware
