First power on, melt a bunch of solder over the entire tip, then wipe off on a damp sponge. Do it 2-3 times, making sure solder touches all parts. It should leave a shiny tip when completed. This helps the tip heat evenly and disperse that heat evenly/easily into the item being soldered.

Often folks just use the fresh tip for their first solder job and solder only touches a blob of the tip. They finish and turn off the iron. After only 2-3 times of doing this, you'll see that small blob area is now the only area that only works on the whole tip. Solder doesn't flow worth a damn when you touch it to anywhere else on the tip. Seasoning the tip forces the entire tip to "engage".

Once you do it, you'll understand.

This is solid. Had one and then upgraded to a more powerful unit. This still serves as my heat set insert tool. Steal for $5.

I never had good luck with cheap soldering irons. They don't seem to get hot like they should. If you plan to doing a lot of soldering, invest in a decent soldering station with a temp control you will be glad you did.

Make sure you're seasoning brand new tips. Makes a big difference in how the tip behaves through the rest of its life.

I have a cheap Weller that has mostly done what I need over the years. I was planning to upgrade to a pinecil at the next deal, but with temp control here I wonder if this would be a suitable upgrade. I just don't want to buy more junk that I will have to deal with getting rid of later.

It works for small wire like 14AWG and thinner. I bought like two $10-15 soldering iron kits off Amazon 60w and 80w. They had trouble heating up 12AWG and thicker wire.

Was it a high wattage temperature controlled like this?
I got another really cheap temp control iron, and it works great and is nice and portable unlike my Hakko station, which is also great, but not small. Also, my the cheap iron has small tips, which is great for tiny SMT soldering.
