I was wondering if the cheap soldering pencils had a much lower tip quality than good brands (weller) and other soldering stations. For now I have used $3 irons from ebay, and soon the sharp point gets burned down to a nub. I use one of those metal soldering sponges to clean the tip.
I want to get a high quality soldering station and was wondering if I would experience the same tip-eating as the cheap irons.
