This is basically an E-cigarette with a $3 soldering screw on tip. The button has been reprogrammed so that you don't need to hold it but apart from it, there's no difference.

Really good video mate, thanks for reviewing these. I've been looking at picking one up and I wasn't sure how powerful a battery powered soldering iron could be, years ago it was unthinkable, I guess tech has come a long way.

man i keep holding my breath everytime that fume goes to the camera lense 🤣

Very interesting, informative and factual. It's fun to watch. The white soldering iron (my favorite) seems to be PWM controlled, which is why the current consumption is so pulsating. With DSO 150 you could show that via a resistor (just my guess). I personally use a gas soldering iron for mobile use.

Excellent detailed review man!

You even said it yourself, all these USB irons are for emergency use or where a normal bench iron cannot be used. To be honest if you are working with fine pitch/SMD you would be on a bench with a beefy iron with much better heat profile's. Usage context is key here. Apart from that, good info for people who are looking for a toolbox iron for emergencies, spare iron on the go. Thanks again fro the video.

I think the 3rd one is an e cig that has been modified 😂

thanks for the video , i got the first one with the jack and it does not melt the wire , also the second one is similar but with batery i use that one but the bat discharges quite fast

The Silver battery operated iron is the same exact device used for vaping lol. Had one given to me and since i didn't vape I was going to toss it until I seen the tips on Amazon and realized they would work with it so took a chance and ordered them and to my surprise they fit and yes it doesn't work to well due to it having a duration limiter .

31:25 - When you have a so hot soldering iron to work, you need be fast when soldering, I learned soldering fast with a 60W soldering iron! Being fast is really required when have a powerful iron like this, otherwise you want lift the pad and tracks.. 😅 Doing soldering so fast is the secret to don't give enough time to stress the pads and do them lift, of course is so better don't have to worry about putting the iron and doing the soldering in only about 1 to 3 secs max! In a SMD pad, only one sec literally... 😁

I use it without any problem for a small scale soldering.. Regarding the amperage.. I use regulator xl4015 module wt cc & cv control to regulate whatever voltage & ampere I needed.. as l also have soldering tips with ranges of 8w-15w (which they claimed it as 8w-40w..😅😅).. Anyway, as for me.. so far the cheap USB soldering iron is doing great.. 😂😂 TQ. btw.. I have both the 1st & the 2nd one in ur video.. 😊😊

Is the white one coated with white plastic ? or is it the metal painted in white ? Isn't the lack of plastic insulation on the handle a problem with heat in your fingers ?

I have the white one you tested. I've built 6 guitar pedals and 2 Adruino projects on it already.... but...... i went through 4 different ones before I found that one

Anyone know what the third one is? I'm looking to melt wax and it goes to a lower temperature than the portable wax pens which get too hot in about 2 seconds.

Using the white one as my main soldering machine since I don't solder everyday it's just one's a month.

If you go up to 25 - 40 dollars, you can get some pretty ok irons. Sequre s99, pinecil v2, and a few others in that range. The sequre has sleep, boost, gets up to 500, and can use over 100W... though I do use 65W with mine. My pinecil also does the same thing.. one uses a c245 tip, the other use something based off the t12 (t15) tips. I dont know if you can get something serviceable under 20.. but a little bit more gets you a LOT more iron.

do u recommended second one ?

Thank You. I just cancelled my order for that garbage and ordered that handskit one.

As a technician i'd only use a remote soldering iron for light pcb work,NOT heavy wires or large bulky connectors,smd /1/2-1w tht only to think any battery powered iron will do much more is a bit delusional to be honest,if it ran from a large 12v lead acid battery then that would work for everything ,but keep a sense of proportion ,and also gas pens are at best for repairing electric irons. I'm here because i want a non 240v pen iron to do some work while i watch youtube ,so i expect to be able to solder the small pcb smd or 1/2w parts until i get the mains iron on for full on work.i make daughter boards such as regulators,smps,buffers etc while i lay down the main circuit that needs to be tweaked on breadboard such as amplifiers ss or tube.

i have to say from POV, the battery powered sounded very good, EXCEPT for the "safety feature" which requires you to click 5 times to turn it OFF, during normal operation, i can see myself forgetting to do that and just click on it once thinking instinctively it's off , i also don't get the whole needing to keep the button pressed and entering "sleep mode" what does that even mean?

are they durable? or after 2 weeks garbage? That's important to know!

I bought the handskit one at first solder sticks normally then when i cleaned it. solder stopped sticking to it and the iron tip gets cold when touching the pcb even at 450 c

Thanks I ordered no:2 thanks I thought it would be crappy but no I'm excited for tomorrow now thanks

Gde si kupio tu belu sa temp control ima na kp ta prva koja kazes da nije dobra(nameravam slucalice, sitne stvari da popravljam ali ne i komponente na pcb ali ako vec ima sa temp control jeftino kazi gde si uzeo. Pozz

i think the usb soldering iron is just for emergency and outdoor use where you can use your power bank. And I think you need a steady and light hand for you not to lift off the soldering copper pads. the switch is intended for on and off and for you to realize the proper temperature, though it's very annoying

How is the handskit soldering iron today, is it still working?

Great 👍

900M irons are common now. Some fairly inexpensive. You can get a grounded one with the digital regulator in the handle for not much $. The whole battery thing is kinda silly. You're at the bench. Unless you're in a tent in the middle of a desert...

What is the name of grains for cleaning the tip?

goot MSD-5 also check out this product, how?

What is the battery life of evod twist ?

Ugh I hope i found this video sooner😔 i just ordered the solder that heats up super high😢

good

if you can just buy the tip of the battery powered one you can just use thc vape cartridge batteries lol. that one looks identical to the ooze batteries i bought from gas stations lol.

18:27 - Oh no, it's a bit painful when soldering hits equipment... It already happened to one of my tools.

But.. are cheap solder iron thermometers accurate? ;)

ive seen this soldering iron used y a guy in several videos that he uses to repair cellphones and he never burned anything or lift any pad.

Its not amazing. Its ok for 2x2mm máx size pad. If you try one of the bigger pads, none of these irons will melt it.

To su jeftine lemilice tako da nije strasno.Nego nesto sada nema onih “vrhunskih” miniware lemilica (precenjeno Kinesko sranje).Bio sam jedan od retkih kojima se nisu svidjale i smatrao sam da je kupovina bacanje para.

With the battery sodering iron, had you read the instructions you would have seen it takes 20 seconds to heat up.

Thanks brother

A chemist (26:30 or so) who doesn't know that SALTS of ammonia are ACIDIC (hence the name of the tip cleaner)....well.....

Wonderful, comparison. Another apparent fault, with your 'ugly' pick, is that the touch sensitive button, doesn't work if you are wearing a grounding strap, or working on an anti-static mat. I was hoping to avoid purchasing a power bank, but if you go to kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZNod5ilm7quiYk.html and start at say minute 4:45, you will see a reason to avoid using, plug in power supplies with USB soldering irons, where static sensitive ICs are proximal.

Wow, you are so hard to please! The USB iron you describe as garbage because it it low powered AND too hot. Plus you complain that it switches itself back on when you pick it up (via a motion sensor) - like when you might be going to use it. On top of that, it is as cheap as chips, as we say in the UK. I have one of these amongst my collection of half a dozen soldering irons and it gets more use than any of the others and I have just ordered another one. You mentioned Big Clive's review but I wonder if you actually watched it.

Sadly i bought the first one before watching your vid 😅

Not fair comparison....!!! without flux soldering is just like shit.....!!! you have to use some good quality flux for best soldering experience.

so i smoke weed and why this is important is we have batteries just like this for our dab oils. I'm curious if that's just a normal 510 thread battery with a soldering 510 attachment that's been fitted to a soldering iron tip. i had one with the twisty bottom just like this

紹介してくれてありがとう。この様な半田ごてもあると言う事ですね。しかし、私は使う気はありません。 それは簡単です。電子工作に使っている半田ごてのチップを細いものに交換すればいいだけの事です。 また、私がビデオを見る限り、半田の溶けだす時間が遅すぎます。付け加えると、こて先チップが丸いので半田付けの切れ味が悪いと考えます。 わたしが使っているチップは三角型▲の物です。人それぞれ、好きなチップがあると思われます。 それらの中には【針】の様なチップもありますが、使い物になりませんでした。それは細すぎて熱を伝えられませんでした。

Looks like batteries for E cigarettes.

Suspect number 1😂😂😂💔💔💔💔

Those are old vape pens, not made for this purpose.. Stay away, they are known to blow up too..

Daj malo na naski pricaj😁

Presenter had made his mind up before starting. Shows total lack of understanding of soldering and presented a very ignorant theoretical view point. Anyone can put an iron on a temperature gauge without any understanding of thermal inertia and lag and heat sinking caused by ground planes.

Everyone - not everybody You will find everybody in the cemetery it is full of BODIESYu have yet to learn correct English. Undertake an extensive reading program to better educate yourself. Write an essay on the importance and significance of 'One' It's about ten lines of text. My youngest students age 8 completed the essay successfully. Can you do the same ? I doubt it.

Thank for covering a bunch of personal lamenting totally off topic. 👎

The first solder iron is useless
