Your next mod would be changing those jwco caps before they die unexpectedly 🍀
Thanks for the candid update. Before seeing this, I actually bought the 2-in-1 Weld Lux unit on Amazon which has both the soldering iron and hot air on the same unit which works really well and I like it. For a beginner, couldn't really ask for more and the price was reasonable ($65) and came with a bunch of accessories.
I initially bought the standard model which had the same problem as yours did, when I place the air blower back on its holder, it wouldn't shut off no matter what I tried, not even the power switch for it would turn it off. I had to unplug the device from wall. Manufacturer agreed it was faulty so I returned it.
I wanted to give it another shot but second time, I opted for the upgraded model for $10 or so more. The upgraded one actually also has a 3rd power switch for the entire machine on top of the sectional ones but the new one cools off and shuts off the air flow when placed on the holder so it is working as designed.
Reviewing products that you use or my use is a great addition to the channel. More please?
yeah maybe
only if they send stuff, with that level of honesty
Hello internet 😎
The internet says hello back 🙂
Hello Internet man.
Regarding the tips, I think the manufacturers want you to buy into their line of accessories (their ecosystem) so interoperability is not a priority.
In this case the modification is very simple to do. Just grind that ring off of it and it will take long neck/sleeve custom tips/attachments.
Or buy an adapter from Ali, there are a lot of types
I would bet that the purpose of that ring is to stop hot air that would otherwise be blown toward your hand because of the looseness inherent in tabbed “quick connect” tips…. Probably would only notice it when using a small/restricted tip.
A [START] button. When first powered on, have it in stand-by mode. All hot air stations should be made that way.
Custom hot air station 😁👍
I wanted to say first that I love your content, you are a very awesome guy!
I wanted to ask if you heard of people modding thier 3070s vram and doubling it from 8gb to 16? Is this something you would ever consider doing for a customer. I just bought a zotac holo 3080ti bare pcb which might need your services, but I thought if the vram was the problem, maybe the vram chips could be replaced with 2 gb versions? Seems like an interesting idea
Dude just invented the wep 993E. 😂
😂
WEP 993 NWR ;-)
That would be cool 😂

I'm certainly no expert, but I think I would put a micro switch in whatever holder you use to hang the nozzle when not in use. You said that you don't use the cradle so you must use something else. When you put the handle back in the holster (whatever you call it), it actuates the switch and does the same thing that you switch on the base unit front panel. I hope you get what I mean.
best review ever.
Just finished watching the video and uhhh, man. Coldest review ending I've seen XD
lol
Who woulda thunk vicarious fixes/modding is a thing. But it is. McGiver after my own heart.
Thanks!
You can always get creative with the kapton tape and cover those buttons your afraid of melting.
That was a nice ding there 😂
Love the intro....
Good solution with the second switch. However, you dont use the factory Power switch to turn it on. So why adding the second switch? Rerouting the factory Power switch to accomplish the job of your second switch seems like a much cleaner way. In Terms of optic as well as usability :)
You make great Videos! Thank you!
Yay! Tony in back! 🙂
you could also put an automotive blade fuse in the female legs going to the stock switch and use the original switch to do this mod
O means on as it's a symbol of completing the circuit.
I just got some hot air station today a Quick or Atten or something didn't take it out of the box due to having to help someone. Can't remember what I bought and it got delayed due to some hurricane event, and UPS got way behind, they must of let stuff stack up for a week before starting to move it to the USA to clear customs. So much for UPS Global Express 1 week to my door 😂.
Where did you get your hot air station or what company sent it? Mine was damaged in a fire caused by another business. So I am in the market for an upgraded one from my 80 dollar one I had.
They roll that edge so they dont have to debur parts an it adds rigidity of course
So you have three hot air stations?! :D
NWR always says hello to the internet, but internet never says hello back 😢
The Atten st862 looks very very similar.
Awitch onnhantlw is square but alson flush.
You wouls notnlike the tip siameter as it is larger than the WEP.
Inguess rhe WEP isnwven cheaper than the 200€ Atten.
Reue also that adapting it to your work will require some tweaking. But itnis always more rewarding tonmakenit your own :-)
How was the ir top plate you create in previous video work out? I notice you using hot air and not it in your videos.
Slow
Internet 404 error. I am here.
why did u switch your station anyway? was it not good anymore? or just cause u got it to review?
if I remember correctly, he is trying out this station because the old one isn't putting enough heat required for specific situations, like reflowing a core. Also, (probably), because testing new stuff is kinda fun, even more if its free :D
@@radiux_sv not heat. He needed more FLOW
Don’t get me wrong, i’m a big fan of your channel, BUT this hot air station was designed for soldering and desoldering using your hands… not as a bga rework station… so it will be very hard to do a tweak to fulfill your need… get a bga rework station!!! :))) keep up good work! See ya’ on discord 😅
I agree to a degree.
Just because something wasn't designed to do something, does not mean it cannot be used to do something else.
you have that magnetic switch inside, and you could just wire micro switch to it but the switch could be connected to a hook you hang the head on and then it deactivates like with magnetic sensor
i know that but there is no practical way to do it without it getting in the way
@@northwestrepair not neseserly
imagine a long stick with circle on one end and l shape on the other, it would have to push microswitch while being pulled on so L would press the button when you pull on the circilar end, and that could be really thin like paper clip wire, i would put the circle at the end where hot air pipe is comming from and just hang it down by it
if that is a bad idea , sorry for wasting your time , i really like ho in depth you was with the nozzle situation and video was quite interesting
The thing is this heat gun will probably be attached to the 3D printed stand 90% of the time.
@@northwestrepair You really want a magnetic reed switch. It looks like a very thin light bulb about 1mm x 10mm or so. It's easy to install, just install where the switch is. If you simply rest the handle next to a magnet, it will switch on and turn off the unit. You can add some magnets to your stand. The high end hot air stations like the Quick 861DW use reed switches.
What they need to make is a gender changer that changes the nozzle of the new style to adapt to the old style. This is what I would request to WEP if you have a contact with them.
Gender change lol.
This can get me fired
I hear you, but that's what they are called 🤷♂️
whats the name of the first nozzle
is the brand X-Tronics any good?
So pretty much what you’re saying is just the tip.
Im wandering why I don't see anyone useing dry nitragen for there air in there hot air stations the big thing with this is the fact that it stops the oxadizing of solder its used in lead free soldering
And you get as much or as little air as you want with a pressure regulator and a flow regulator image uesing no or very little flux and less fumes with more air control this station your useing is a perfect candidate instead of the pump you can install an electronic valve the next station i get im doing this mod
It'll surely require a better workspace environment... Human can't breathe nitrogen in any way.
@@m4ki9h76 you need to educate yourself more before making this kind of comment your saying lead or flux is more breathable than nitragen in a already ventilated space by the way im going to reiterate that is already being used like this for lead free safe environments to keep people from long-term problems and the biggest thing is it keeps the solder from oxadizing witch means less breathable lead no you don't want to wear a mask with nitragen and breath only that but in a ventilated space it works it's used in hvac as safer gases
hey everyone's is Macguyver once in a while
Right 100
they won't do that
Why did you delete your gpu core reball video
too much information
Seems a bit iffy and lazy by the manufacturer, to expect to to mod it amd not provide universal type attachments
there sending you free shit already,,, when you get bigger and they send you more stuff.... i hope they don't make you tone down the sick humor.....
good old school humor is best but they wont you in prison for it these days. or put a dress on then they wont care..
This unit is totally typical china ebay junk. Look at the quality inside, the pcb etc, just wow.
If they wanted you to DIY it, then they should have sent you new shell with a switch installed.
@@users-bibi50 That wasn't my point. End user should not have to do any type of cutting or drilling. THEY should take full responsibility if something goes wrong with their product. Someone gets hurt, all they need to say is, We didn't do it.
Das
First 😅
nope
