That Ersa station maybe's not so good looking, but is an amazing tool. I have a icon-2 for six years now, and works fine, the tips are very good, varied and cheap.

I’ve had an Icon Pico with an i-Tool as a starter station for some time now. It works fine for what it is. I’ve not had the collar problem you mentioned, they sit loosely around the tip. A niggle I have with the handpiece though is that it gets quite hot in the finger area on prolonged use. I’m still using the Pico as a secondary fitted with a very fine high mass special tip from Ersa for smd soldering. Thanks for the video.

I have the same experience with changing the tips. I did have an issue with bad contacts between the heater cartridge and the handpiece. A new handpiece solved the issue. This was my upgrade coming from a cheap 35W plug in iron. I think the performance shown in this video is very similar to what I notice when using the Pico. This gives me a very good impression on how much better the performance of all the other tested soldering irons actually is. Will keep this in mind if I ever need to replace/upgrade.

I'm very interrested in seeing some "nano" type soldering hand pieces/tips, like the JBC NT115/C115. The only JBC station that takes a NT115 hand piece are the very expensive NASE/NANE stations. But there are some off-brand alternatives like the Sugon T36, or one of those "JBC add-on modules" like the K-308 or one of those TEC modules.

I wouldn't directly compare to the KSGER with the T12 or the T245, since i dont know if a "real" soldering iron manufacturer could use either of them without a patent infringement. But yeah, they need to step up their game to compete with the cartridge irons. I am currently building my own unisolder to retire my beloved Weller WECP-20.

My I-Con1 doesn't have anything like the massive overshoot you're seeing, and the build quality is better (metal stand, unmarred front plate). However your comments on the tip are spot on, that's my experience exactly. I can't connect anything but the basic I-Tool to it AFAIK, and that's a shame.

Switch mode psu's suddenly make some sense now. They don't last as long as a EI transformer but are cheaper and more energy efficient and smaller. Maybe having an external psu/replaceable is the next step.

ERSA stuff here in Australia is at the high end of cost. As in not far off JBC.

I have had the iCon Nano for many years now (it was like 400 euro when I got it!). The idea of the "rubber" handpiece holder is that when you need to clean it from solder drops and various dregs that tend to accumulate inside, you just squeeze it and the solder pops right off and in the trash. No need to scrape it out of a difficult to access spot using a knife or screwdriver or something similar. Also the wire wool is quite a recent addition, e.g. my Nano came only with a sponge inside that hole of the stand. That's what it was originally designed for. The collars on the tips - that can be quite hard to pop off but it will loosen up a little after a while. Generally the idea is to pop that off only when you are replacing a worn out tip. For hot swapping tips it is much better to spend the little extra and buy an extra collar. They are not that expensive and you need to buy them only once. Oh and confusing information on the ERSA's website is nothing new. E.g. good luck trying to figure out what the exact difference between the Pico and Nano stations was apart from the Pico not being ESD safe, apparently ... It is still good technology and works great compared to many cheap junk stations but they are really living from their past successes and not innovating much. The iCon stations have been on the market for good 10 years now, if not longer, with only minimal changes apart from price. Today there are better choices for the money, IMO.

I fully expect this station would outlast many of the cheaper systems built down to a cost, and for every day soldering it would work absolutely fine (although I noticed the handpiece gets quite hot).

@@sdgelectronics Mine doesn't really get hot - warm yes but not hot. Even the tips are possible to change while hot if one is quick and careful (I don't even have those "tweezers"). Obviously that's not a great design but it is possible and I do it quite regularly. Another wart I don't like much is the rather stiff cable on the handpiece. It is likely silicon insulated but it tends to twist the handpiece around which is annoying when using other than a conical tip. That seems to be different on your iCON (Nano has a different cable, there is only a JST-like connector at the end that does into the bottom side of base, the handpiece is not meant to be removable). Yeah and totally agree about the two last points - the quality is good, never had an issue with the iron, just the price is not. ERSA was always very expensive for what it is, even 10+ years ago when the iCON system was introduced. When I got the Nano I wanted a decent station, couldn't justify the expense of something like a JBC, Pace or Metcal and Hakko is basically non-existent (or very expensive) in Europe. It replaced a cheap Aoyue iron/hot air combo and a Pros'kit branded Solomon station - which was a big upgrade at the time. Today I would rather get one of the JBC clones but it wasn't an option years ago when I got the ERSA.

Ersa’s specs are indeed a nightmare, especially regarding wattage. ESD safety is the only difference between the pico and Nano. The Nano uses the same heater as the “big” i-Tool (but run at lower voltage), while the pico uses a cheaper heater with plastic threads. I got my i-Con nano in 2015 and it came with the brass wool.

Concerning loose tips: I am pretty sure the metals are selected in a way that their expansion will provide appropriate heat transfer. Thats the concept. I think that is a valid way to do it, but annoyingly the tips need a little cooldown before you can brake them loose again… Mine works well, but I would agree on innovation and pricing angles.

Thank You for the reviews.

@@sdgelectronics This probably indicates that tip power is maxed out. The advantage is to have a higher initial temp when your tip lacks temp mass, but not in between solder joints. It would slow down tip oxidation compared to it being at e.g. 400degC during the whole rework.

Thanks so much for a very enlightening video.

FYI, on the i-Con tips, it is *essential* to screw them down tightly! They should not be loose, and if the tip is even slightly loose, the performance plummets. If you change a tip while the iron is hot, you will need to tighten it again once the tip has heated up and expanded.

Hi. Excellent videos as usual, much enjoyed. 👍 I would like to point out that Weller have used a cartridge based system for some time now. The Weller WX1 station accepts one device (iron) and the WX2 station accepts two devices. The station is rated to supply max of 200 watts of power to a single device. They do the military standard rated irons, WXUP-MS (150W), WXMP-MS (55W), WXPP-MS (40W) for the micro solder cartridge tips. Thought I would point that out in case your interested.

​@@sdgelectronics Sure both are good! But too good for my budget.

Good test there. Yes, this is quite disappointing for the price. My experience with Ersa is the same. I have an Icon Pico which is 80W but with the same old heater/tip configuration. Ok for sure that is not in the same price league... After a relatively short period of time my heater failed which costed me 50€ to replace which is quite a lot. Based on my experience the tips are way more expensive than what you told here. Fine curved tips that I use costs over 20-28€ each. The tip quality is also poor because I cannot put solder to the tip of the tip case of a 0,6mm tip for example and for QFN chips I usually replace is useless this way beacuse I cannot put solder onto the pads.... An other huge dislike goes to the temperature accuracy for each tips. On the same 0,6mm small tip I measured 60C lower temp than the set tempearture which is like a bad joke. Now I use a Ksger station which way overperforms the Ersa. I have the feeling that Ersa is living from their old brand name and they do not do the necessary upgrades to keep up with the technology which is quite sad.

Do you have any interest in reviewing the Hakko FX-888D? It was very widely recommended as a good beginner soldering station at one point, which was why I bought it.

I've got an I-Con 2 (not a 2V) which looks identical to the one in your video (apart from the letter V) and use it every day. I think it's a great iron and it has no problem soldering 0603s one minute then going on to soldering the large tabs of D2PAK transistors to ground planes the next without changing irons, tips or settings. I use a 0.8x2.4mm chisel tip, Ersa part number 102CDLF24. I can do everything with just one iron even though I've got two, with two different tips. But perhaps there are better options out there, I don't know because all I've got is one of these. Mine has a nice feature when adjusting temperature - the acceleration is "sticky" to the nearest multiple of 50 degrees, so if you quickly advance it upwards from say 300, it will "stick" on 350, then 400 and so on. My firmware version is 2.26 dated 28/02/2014 - it's what came with it when I bought it. I don't see overshoots anywhere as large as you see, nor do I see the random drifting when the iron is in the cradle. The turn-on overshoot is about 10-12 deg. C max and the drift is within a couple of degrees with the iron in the cradle. Mine is also quicker to display the "OK" in the bottom right of the screen upon power on. Mine takes about 8 seconds. Also I've rarely needed to change tips whilst it's been hot (or indeed in general) since it's a dual station and I've got two irons each with a different tip, but I just tried it, whilst on, having been on for about 20 minutes at 250 deg. C (the sleep temperature) and the plastic collar was probably 40 degrees C to the touch and wasn't uncomfortably hot. My station is set to "medium" overshoot or whatever they call it. Thanks for the video though, I appreciate the time and effort you've put in!
