Yeah sucker is slow to heat, no doubt there.  With experience you can speed it up by cranking it to 5 and setting a timer.  My handle is also dying a slow stupid death... something inside broke and is slowly crumbling.

Don't bother, I already have that tattooed on my pecker, right where everyone can see it.

I see guys with absolute soldering JUNK and they solder the crap outta everything. Technique accounts for a LOT!

I don't like junk.
