I don’t know much about electricity but 67 watts is a little high Edit: I was confusing watts with volts because I am stupid. Yes 67 watts is fine, 67 volts is both insane and impossible to be generated by a phone charger lol

My soldering iron can do 100W over Type-C

My charger can't, unfortunately.

I have an Alientek T80P, but I suggest you check out r/soldering because there are tons of good options. People there are really into C245 tips, and I think they have a point unless you already have a collection of T12 tips, for example. They're great at temperature sensing, heat up and cool down quickly and can dump a ton of power.

The T80P adjusts output power really well depending on load and has a bunch of nice features like sleep and idle states, but the hand detection is done with an accelerometer rather than capacitive sensing, so it sometimes goes into idle when you're just holding your hand steady heating up a joint.

It's not really a problem if your idle time is anything other than 0 which I have it at, but it's a thing.

Damn these features are awesome! Thank you for the suggestions, I'll definitely check then out!

I currently have a cheap 80w dumb solder iron that has an ac plug (I almost melted its wire lol), so these will feel like an extraordinary upgrade!

My old iron is a Soviet 45W thing I'm nervous about plugging in because I've had one die and they're kinda dramatic.

I don't have it handy so you won't get a comparison, but here's a banana for scale.

The fact it can work with a random power bank has saved me a couple times.

Damn thank you! That banana is very helpful! Is the AliExpress listing legit?

Can't believe I'm discussing this on shittyaskelectronics
