@gebeleysis to be honest I have no idea - my gas-powered soldering iron is no name It's much more important to use thin tip - as for "heating base", everything that doesn't blow gas container into Your face is ok. As for tips, I also can't be much of a help, as I've done them myself - using cooper, most of the times. unfortunately, it may be quite hard to create soldering tips on Your own, if You don't have appropriate tools. In such case, You should determine type of soldering iron You want to buy, by it's extensibility and availability of replacement tips and their types. Anyway, here is photo of my soldering tips collection + soldering iron, for reference: /Estel
