I'm somewhat underwhelmed by the power of the HAP-1 "hot air pencil" that came with my Weller WMD-3 station, and curious about the possibility to get a HAP-200 to work with it. They're both 24V tools, and the WMD-3
is compatible with 180W irons - another 20W doesn't seem all that much (10%)... Famous last words and all that. I think the power requirement of Weller tools is encoded by a resistor value in the tool itself - if I were to mod a HAP-200 to say it only needs 180W, would the WMD-3 accept it, and more importantly, would it blow up?
