_dear why no aliexpress standard shipping to netherlands <:alismirk:230784726615588865> _
has any seller cloned that TS100 soldering iron yet?
isn't the ts100 a clone itself?
@Julian TS-100 is ordered, many thanks <:aliOK:251417852156837888>
oh no polan again
is ok i got a t12 anyway :(
I use the cheap $5 usb soldering iron when I cba to wait for my regular one to heat up
but the tips die very quickly
mm i went with the t12 for quicker heating times and cheep tips
those are good for light work
heat up in 10-15 seconds
but tips last no time at all
they don't look good at all
probs still better than my gun
wait
that a USB to TRS connector
ya
what could go wrong XD
they do actually draw 8w when the tip is new
the tips last longer if you use leaded solder and don't keep them heated up for no reason
i got another one of those usb soldering irons the other day
good little thing
works fine for when i dont wanna deal with my big iron
I do use leaded solder, but find they gradually decline in power to the point where solder just doesn't flow as well and you end up dragging the solder off when you remove the iron
in a little peak
yeah it seems like they almost degrade just from being heated up
Need to get one of those; that sounds quite handy
@Goz3rr >used to heat up my soldering iron to burn things for fun
Man, this is like a someone remebering how they killed thier pet hamster as a kid
it was gecko not hamster tho
