nitrogen soldering makes for much much more even soldering, as it pre-heats. If you demand that you have absolute perfect soldering joints, hakkos are great.

I picked up a complete set up with n2 generator for 100$ through some work connections, if you can get a setup for under 200$ i'd say go for it.

I don't want it to solder.
I want it to smoke with.

I think this means the size of the clip things, since the 2 are different sized. I know mine is 19/ somethin, I think its 19/22, and thats for the 18mm bigger Roor stuff.
