soldering iron build uses ngk glow plug , silicon nitride ceramic tip , 3mm tip , top of the line glow plug 25A momentary microswitch , beer keg stainless tube surround fits a weller tip after being drilled out with 1/8 drill bit , then uses a small offcut of pyrolitic graphite thermal pad to hold it on by friction switch needs to be held on about 1/3 of the time for lead solder pictured is a spare glow plug and a Chinese nitride glow plug i bought , the Chinese version wont fit the weller tips at 4.4mm but is cheaper and more readily available draws about 10 amps , im NOT using the high drain 18650s if i were it might be to powerful maybe |

mine also looks crude, unlike original temp.is contrlled w/MT3608 DC step_up,as well 18650 is under-voltage protected. |
