That's hard to say without knowing exactly how it was used in where it was used. Storing the wrench fully compressed like that is not acceptable. While the calibration might be off, I don't suspect that it would be off by much. But seeing how this was an apparently used item, I wouldn't trust it. If you don't get any satisfaction from Amazon, you can always contact lexavon personally and they will take care of it

The watch was an unusual one I backed on Kickstarter. The watch was an oscilloscope, multi meter, DTMF tone generator, IP packet sniffer and a few other goodies. Unfortunately being the very first one off the kickstarter it had some issues and it didn't last long. It died soon after I got it and we were never able to revive it. However, I will say this much that watch has been in storage for well over one year and was still running!

Pointing the torch straight down will cause issues such as that. The reason being is once you have inverted it you run the risk of pushing liquid butane out the nozzle. The other thing that could cause something of that nature would be especially after it's just been filled, is the pressure is quite high still and you may need to reduce your flame until the pressure equalizes in the tank.

@@CandorPerlicious Tha's makes senses. Thank you for replying.

Many apologies for not following up on this as you're not the only one asking this. Yes the bigger one does everything the smaller one does only it's bigger, stands up on its own and is slightly hotter than the pencil style.

I've had a few requests for that and I think I'm going to do that at the moment my life is rather hectic with personal issues at home and a new kitten that REFUSES to let me film anything lol... Y'all might see him in future videos.

If you do something like that I would be very interested in seeing how it was done and what you did

@@CandorPerlicious The only "hard" part is to either tap into where the temperature data lines are, or if not, taping directly into the temperature sensor's lines directly. To do that, however, I'd have to spec out which temp sensors are used and what math would be used to read them with Arduino or ESP32. Other than that, the auto shutoff is very easy to do. For the auto off thing, I do want to add a sensor near the soldering iron tip when it's in the holder. This way, I can have my system detect if the iron is being moved in and out and if in, for XXX minutes, then assume not in use and power the unit down or at least, power down the solder iron itself so as to leave a message on the screen as to the shut down. Sadly, I don't do youtube videos, so it would be difficult to share the process.

Honestly, after that video posted I tried that. I live in Florida where it's pretty much sunny and bright most days. It overwhelmed the sensor and it couldn't be used accurately after about 10 feet and it had to be something dark in color since it washed out the actual laser dot. This is intended more for inside work when using the laser.

Not the first request for that and I might do that in the future. I don't normally use it for delicate soldering, unless I have to since I have a nice solder station. I do use it for bigger things such as xt60 connectors, 14 gauge or bigger wire splicing, repairing wires on cars, boats and such.I use it more for a portable torch than soldering. But to answer your other question: it's not difficult to control the heat but I still think it's a bit warmer than it needs to be on low for delicate work and obviously no real way of knowing what the tip temperature is. Being half full doesn't seem to effect it much even when using it as a torch. When you do notice the flame getting weaker you're pretty much at the end of the tank. I also have the bigger brother which is more of a stand-up torch and use it as either a torch or with the heat gun attachment for heat shrink tubing.

@@CandorPerlicious Thanks, couple hours ago I received my shipment of LX770 and found out the hard way ;-) The unit is well built, but the iron is too hot for delicate electronics work and impossible to keep the tip temperature consistent for transistor soldering. I wanted a compact portable iron and avoid the battery operated stuff but failed miserably.

Since I don't have the pin outs for the replacement irons I can't say for sure. However I have found one here, at Amazon, amzn.to/3W82mxK that looks promising and rather inexpensive. Sorry but this is the best I can do.

@@CandorPerlicious Many thanks

I probably should have stated that Lexivon tools are made in Taiwan and not China

In my opinion Ronson fuel is ok for lighters and similar. I wouldn't recommend it for something that I would expect to have consistent flame properties over a long time. As you indicated, Ronson doesn't really have any specs so it's not easy to tell how well it's filtered. In the video description text you will find the recommended fuels, which were recommended to me by Lexivon. They actually use some of the ones I've listed. Other than fiddling with getting the right tip adapter that I felt comfortable with, I've not had an issue so far. Perhaps a bit more expensive than Ronson but I'm getting good results with the ones listed. Hope that helps.

In my opinion the sound isn't too bad. The speakers I chose perform well for a full range speaker. I've not put a crossover or any kind of bass/treble control. If I were to do that I would be more inclined to have tweeters and bass speaker. The board works fine for me in its intended purpose, mostly in the workshop where I'm more concerned with volume than quality. Regardless the sound quality is still good.

@@CandorPerlicious Thanks for the reply. Which class D amplifier board has the finest sound quality as per your experience? Have you tried the Infineon technologies MA12070 board ?

@@salilmahadik9396 honestly, this was my first major attempt at Bluetooth speakers. In the past I've used other cheaper units as more of a proof of concept. I'm not the best person to ask about fidelity since I'm kind of tone deaf in one ear. I haven't used any other brands as of yet since I'm not looking for another speaker but in the future I will probably put more effort into creating a richer fidelity and with the proper crossovers and speakers. If anyone else is reading this and wishes to reply on what you think would be a good high fidelity Bluetooth board, I'd be willing to listen. I still say though that dollar for dollar the board I chose was a good fit and the speakers give me enough clarity and volume to make me happy. Honestly I could have spent a few extra dollars to get A JBL or other brand name speaker with better bass and speakers engineered specifically for their Bluetooth board, but where is the fun in that? I prefer to know I can do this myself and get a reasonable facsimile of a store bought unit. Maybe in time I'll even be able to make one as good if not better 😜

And that's such a shame since Weller is usually a reliable and dependable name in soldering equipment.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy your purchase.

I would like to see you make a video showing. How are you use the Lexivon Butane Soldering Iron
