I just had some kind of "Wow-Moment" and I need to tell you about!

For many years I was soldering with some cheap soldering irons, the last one was a cheap soldering station I bought from Amazon (sorry) about 8 years ago. I was able to change the temperature with a knob and it worked quite okay-ish.

Some time ago I have ordered a AIFEN A9 Plus and today I finally have tried it.

Pardon me, but: It is FUCKING AWESOME!

Heats up very fast, cools down while not in use, has different channels or temperature settings, is quite stable and well built, and the soldering tip is like a wet kiss from the soldering god himself!

I just need a small amount of solder and it easily sticks to the parts I am soldering. Why didn't anyone tell me before that the difference between cheap and "medium-cheap" is that much big?

I really don't want to know about the "real" soldering station... that's enough for today. Awesome!
