Re: New tool, Aoyue 8800! Desoldering just got easy!
I read this in Aoyue 474A+ manual (very strange they forgot to write it in 8800 manual, too).
I hope Aoyue will replace your unit for free. In this case, thumbs up for Aoyue....

TIP:
Before starting a desoldering job, ALWAYS wet the yellow filter pad with water, in order to allows efficient air passage and filter action (filter pad must become "soft").
You should repeat this often, if your desoldering session takes too long.

Re: New tool, Aoyue 8800! Desoldering just got easy!
I took the risk and I bought one (220V version).
It works fine; no complaint to date.
I set the temperature to 350C.
Maybe is 480C too high temperature?
Why did you use this high temp? (in my opinion, 350C is good for both single and double layer pcbs)...Last edited by alex987; 06-14-2015, 05:14 PM.Leave a comment:

It seems it isn't a good design...
So, better to spend less...Last edited by alex987; 05-16-2015, 08:37 AM.Leave a comment:

@ lookimback:
You can buy the heating element here:

It costs $15
I suppose this is the 110V version; 220V version should be different part number.Re: New tool, Aoyue 8800! Desolderin...> It costs $15Last edited by alex987; 05-16-2015, 02:11 AM.Leave a comment:
