Im gonna make an ali order and send everything to @Tribit to escape the swede cuck customs cuckery

or i can maybe ask him to buy one

thats very strange

Its the smartest method, or else im gonna have to pay 100SEK from each fucking store

even when its some local place they still sell in bulk and wholesale

how many do you really need

3rd is for china trip

Whats a good knockoff soldering station?

I hate that style of iron, they break so easily due to that thread usually being plastic and idiots pressing down on it too hard. This is for a communal soldering iron by the way

I bought a sleeping Kimono for my gf

she will hate it 👌

Kultrel aproprashen!!!!

so what style of iron do you usually like

the one that works

also conical tips are shit

i prefer X2CrNiMo17-12-3

but X1CrNiMoCuN20-18-7 works too if you insist

not fan of X1NiCrMoCu25-20-5 so lets not look at that at all

Al-Cr works in emerency

:P

but seriously speaking get copper tips if you plant to use it a lot

if not anything goes

usualy its copper core and electroplated iron-nickel around it

some (mostly micromechanics for what i know) prefer brass-copper or other more exotic compinations due thermal conductivity

these days most of their "welding" is done with impulse laser tho so finding those might be pain in the ass

Are jinhao pens good?

Or is there a better chinkstuff brand?

Pretty comfy, got quite some of them

They don't smear and are good enough as daily drivers

What model did you get? @Sdeck37 i'm looking at the x450 fountain pen.

Almost western tier, the coating feels a tad cheap, but it's thick so no obvious plastic under lackquer sights when you scratch it lightly

I'm not a fan of the rubber grip, so i rarely touched it.
