As you of course know, June isn't the best time for harvesting capacitors. Wait for early October, you even might be able to pick up super capacitors. As they grow in groups, you might find enough for a 24V pack in one spot 😎. Great video by the way.

All these people are idiots... it doesn't matter what time of year it is. The key is going deep inside the woods and finding a tree that didn't make a sound when it fell over and being VERY quite while you look under it... that's how I got my Brymen BM869s. You guys are making so much noise you are scaring all the good stuff away and all you are left with is a few fat caps playing dead that couldn't run fast enough.

You really don't need a reservoir tip to do efficient drag soldering. You just need a big flat tip. That's the bit where everyone goes wrong and overcomplicates - the bigger the tip, the more stable the temperature, and the more solder it can hold, which is perfect for drag soldering SMDs. The trick is to have the solder blob on one side of the flat tip, while soldering with the opposite side. That way, the blob serves as the reservoir - it's like a tiny backpack of solder. The tip needs to be unoxidized and in a good shape, though, for the surface tension to be able to wick the solder from the "backpack".

Never heard of a reservoir tip before this video. I've always used hoof tips for drag soldering and they've always worked well enough that I'd never considered modifying them.

shenzhen is the new tech mekka, hands down! what you see in travel reports, documentaries, and the video of the guy getting his own iphone built, feels so much like from a more optimistic 90s cyberpunk movie. open source and entepreneurship are embraced, on a bustling chaotic far eastern marketplace. most companies really care for customer service and communication too, and they are doing theyr darnest to get away from the "crappy china stuff" image. gotta love that spirit. i had emailed a phone manufacturer about availability of replacement batteries, and less than 24h later i received a price list of the typical spare parts, and an excuse that it took so long, they had to translate it first.

I have one of these, the golden "upgraded" version, but seems like it's basically just the packaging and the plastic shell color that differs from the "regular" version, as well as an extra tip being included. It's a great soldering iron, I like it a lot and the heat-up time is incredible. I supply 24 volts, and it basically goes from cold to the set temp in the time I press the button and put the tip on whatever I'm soldering. Pretty good heat capacity as well, soldered some LED lights with heatsink still applied without a hitch. Fun to see you deconstructing the tip, nice to see they did a good job with this. Should make an upgraded TS100 (TS200? :p ) which can take 250W JBC tips.. hehehe. :)

Mine came with two tips in the box, so I presume that's the "upgrade"... Don't know about the standard version since I only have the "upgrade", but the ads say it only comes with one tip. Basically it seems the "upgrade" is better packaging, a gold color instead of black and an extra tip. And there were some ground strap thing and a super cheap "stand", not sure if those are in the standard...

I've since broken the barrel connector (I accidentally used a male connector that was too tight and broke off the pin in the middle) but I managed to solder a wire to each terminal on the PCB and although it doesn't look as good it still works very well. I run mine off of my old 18v 2A variable supply and even with only ~36w available it still heats up very fast.

For big jobs I also have an ancient 85 W one, old enough to have a wooden handle. Might be early 50s or something?

Very nice! I extended the life of my tip but adding a very thick layer of nickel plating (Over 2mm, only possible with commercial plating solution with awesome leveling power for perfectly mirror flat plating). Kind of overkill for a relatively cheap heater/tip, but I wanted to completely reshape the tip without reducing the lifetime. Also works very well for soldering solar cell connecting strips since you need a lot of heat capacity and fast feedback to maintain the tip temperature.

The problem with grinding the tip down is that the exposed copper will slowly dissolve into the solder, eventually hollowing out the tip. I've had tips with only a thin iron coat just suddenly collapse because somewhere the copper was exposed, and it was slowly replaced by solder until it was a thin shell of iron.

What about temperature compliance to the set value and possible overshoot? These are important characteristics. If the thing just goes 30C above the set value, we would expect it to do the cap test faster than weller, given similar power and mass. Still, looks like an excellent mobile soldering setup.

Also the mass of the tip helps to keep temperature more steady, Antex irons are quite good in this respect. If I need less heat I 'quench' the bit on a wet sponge, or run it off a plug in dimmer. Still this iron looks very nice. :-)

Overshoot should be controlled by the PID controller. I never used the TS100, but just to say one goal of using PID is to reach the set point efficiently, and choose overdamped (slow to reach setpoint), critically damped, or underdamped (having overshoot). Here is the source code. The constants are hardcoded, and were changed in May and July 2017 (see git history). github.com/Ralim/ts100/blob/master/workspace/ts100/src/PID.c Contrary to Electro-Bidouilleur's comment, the fact that the display sticks to 350 exactly, might be due to the PID control working correctly. The git history of the PID.c includes a change to reduce display flicker (git change 7b4f467). They display the average of the last 3 readings. The update period apparently can be set to 50, 100, or 200 ms. github.com/Ralim/ts100/blob/master/workspace/ts100/src/Modes.c # lines 434 - 450 (Wow open source is great, to enable looking at the code!)

I would get a cheap $15 FG100 temp probe to make sure the Weller and TS100 are actually at the same temperature. Also to verify the heat up times.

Weller has been my reliable companion since 1991. I'd buy a TS100 to play with but I would not depend on it for daily use.

They are good soldering irons. They are that good I have two of them and use them all the time. Never had a problem. I found them that good it’s replaced my solder station. The tips are good too and last the test of time. So got to agree they are good for the price and super fast heating up. I still use the stock firmware that it came with and never had problems. Don’t know if the newer firmware are better or not ? But never update it because never had any problems. Good iron for all.

This iron is great, I own one before watching video. Now I know its awesome. I can actually solder 8 awg wires together with this thing. Price is so much nicer than the bank robbing Weller's

For portable needs it looks great. Except 1AWG copper lugs such as used in automotive battery/stereo systems. For that you almost have to bring out a small butane torch.

I have been using a Weller WTCP-S with magnetic tips for about 20 years now. Still works fine, though I guess I might replace the magnetic switch assembly. That will cost about 25 €. Since the power supply is 24 V - 50 Watt, it may be suitable for the TS100. I also like the heat resisting Teflon cable on the Weller and the steady support with sponge holder.
