Hi all,
My brand spanking new 300 watt soldering iron arrived yesterday, and man is it a beast. Probably longer than I really want.
I haven't tried it yet, but I know that I need to get/make a new tip. The tip that came with the iron is too wide for 18650 cells (it is about 22mm wide).
Any advice on what to use to make a new tip? Is mild steel ok? Pure copper rod? Lightninggrounding rod? Other?
It's 5/8" diameter (16.5mm) and about 6" long.
Thanks.
Eric
