Good Point Tom---Lead free solder is readily available and should be employed.-------Sun
Rejoice--I requested one and this one will be replaced should a Member here step up and do one!!! How are you with that solder iorn Rejoice!!! LOL---Sun
Lets see..me with soldering iron
Still working on my box mod.I didn't even pick it back up today. I wanted a calm day
Rejoice--Well at least you stepped up to the plate trying to build one--but it is suppose to be fun so take your time!!!--------Sun
That's an excellent idea Sun for posting it as a sticky. Also would you like to add the website below to your post that has good information for beginners.

NO, PLEASE DO NOT REPLACE THIS VIDEO, you can add to it, but please don't replace it.
This is a very precise, detailed, visual of the do's & don't do's.
I have not seen any modder put out a detailed anything. If they give a list/instructions with shop talk terminology, they only show short cut pics. What good is that to a green horn?
Please leave this video as is, for those of us that are below the 101 class.
No member has been brave enough to make their own vid yet? Would love to see a member one.
Here is my video of me fixing my 905 electronic cigarette. The Sucker fell of the desk onto the atomizer knocking out the whole top. It took a hard fall and the glue inside it became weak over time. This is not anything related to the 905 itself glue does that.
YouTube - Fixing a DSE 905 broken top peice Well done super strong and cheap
The sucker is Super strong now, EPOXY SEALED, Much better then the way it was before.
Not only sealed nicely but you will next ever get the wobble from it ever again.
i have been soldering for years and i see a few problems with those video's now if your doing a microprocessor everything they have said is 100 percent true. But if your soldering individual wires tinning the iron is only one of the steps to prevent failure.
Tin the iron the board and the wire. when you do this a tap will do ya. No need to hold due to oxidation because you have done all 3 steps to remove it ahead of time.
i have heard horror stories about people burning traces on boards and such waiting for the heat to melt solder. A good solderer can solder a micro board with a 40 watt iron with ease. Although a good solderer would only use whats needed for the job because too much heat can ruin things.
Rule of thumb is bigger is not always better with soldering. for 90 percent of your jobs a 12 - 15 watt will do ya. Especially if your new to soldering. Its also suggested to practice on some old broken electronics, just soldering wires to diff places to get used to it.

I solder about 3 hrs/day and always learning new tips and tricks from online vids.
Nice video! I did find a series of old videos made by PACE on youtube that are very very informative, its like going to school on repairing electronics.
