That's cool. I like that this is a USB connection. Portablility was always something I was looking for.
A buddy of mine had one of these butane powered ones. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Solder-It-Solder-It-PRO-50-Mini-Soldering-Iron/5001189763 It was awful in keeping any sort of temp that would melt solder.

Yeah, those butane ones are great for metal-to-metal repairs, but soldering any kind of fine component is out of the question.
