It took me a long time to come around to buying this not being sure if it was really worth the expense, now I strongly recommend this to anyone who routinely needs to solder and cares about their health although I can't help but feel the price for extractors as a whole is unjustifiably high."
"I tried every fume extractor in the sub $200 category and all they do is pull the smoke in another direction, and none of them are really even powerful enough to do that effectively."
Approx 37 cubic feet per minute airflow Activated carbon filter absorbs up to 80 percent of the odors from the air and is easy to replace ESD-safe by design Approx. Great for electronics, arts and crafts, and stained glass work.

"I've built many kits and repaired quite a few devices over the past 50 years."
"After the product is removed from it's box and the stand is attached, it is not possible to put the unit back into the box for storage in one piece."
"I've since started using a desk mounted arm solution but this is great for the cost."
"Good air flow."
"Ok, a bit underpowered but if placed very close to the work will suffice."
"Does suck in and filter smoke, but needs to be close to what your soldering."
"This unit emitted such an awful burning plastic-like odor, it stunk up my entire apartment to the point I had to open windows, doors, and turn on fans to air it out."

"This looks just the Hakko, there are no nuts to hold knobs if you decide to order the knobs."

The Vastar soldering iron, made of iron plated tip and stainless steel, ensures the quality of the products and the properties of the stability and reliability. Adjustable temperature controlled soldering irons: 200-450°C, there is an special thermostat circuit to control the temperature and you can adjust the temperature according to your need by the knob wheel on the Electronic Soldering Iron. When the soldering iron is plugged in for the first time, there will come out a smoke from the tip end. Use soldering stand and other aids to avoid burnt fingers. Don't pull the soldering iron tip outward and use it in that way, which will shorten the heating element life. Upgraded PCBA with more stable quality: the chip fixed resistor differs from the Color Ring Resistance used on the market, the Chip Fixed Resistor will help the soldering get hot faster and had a better heat dissipation efficiency. Better heat dissipation efficiency: with our upgraded steel-pipe design, the Vastar new soldering iron is more efficient in a better heat dissipation than others in the market,which will help to reduce the temperature of handle, and avoid melting the plastic by heating.
