I'll give it a shot. Seems interesting to have something USB powered that can solder.
I've been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It's so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they're easy to swap.
Let us know how it works. It sounds pretty cool, but ive been disappointed with battery powered soldering irons.
pinecil can be battery powered too and I've had a good time with mine. granted the battery is either a laptop power bank or a drill battery, but it's still portable enough for me
