They could have used USB-C power delivery part of the USB standard instead of the proprietary Qualcomm QuickCharge. You can get USB-PD 20V 60W laptop charger really cheaply and the prices will keep dropping because a lot of laptop manufacturer are transitioning to it. Maybe, if the QuickCharge handshake is made in software in the STM32, it can be modified to use the USB-PD.
Anyone else waiting for this same manufacturer to make one with a traditional bench cradle/holder with a nice silicone flexible wire and integrated power supply?
I've been saying that since the TS100 craze started. A bench model should have been the next product. One that heats as fast as JBC but costs less than $100 US.
Nope, USB powered hot air ;) Seriously though these guys always do something a bit *weird* - to make a bench top soldering iron they'd have to get their stuff together a bit. Less weirdness and yes.
Yep they could build a version to compete with a hakko FX-951 but it would have a cool display and open software while costing 1/3. I could totally see myself putting aside my Hakko and Weller station if these guys would just make a bench top model.
There's definitely a market for competition with the big boys who have got very lazy. If anybody can do it it's these chaps, I'd just like to see them make a few more devices and sort out their processes before trying to do something a bit more serious. Solder sucker would be nice, just saying.
jeffescortlx which irons do you have now? I have Weller EC1002. But it's slow, only 40 Watts and over 20 years old. I also have a new in box FX-888D I bought on sale last year. But may sell it and get the new Pace ADS200. I want quicker thermal recovery cartridge tips. BTW TS100 tips are like $10 and up. TS80 tips will probably cost more. Most Pace tips are $11-13.
I think my main issue with using type c usb is the mechanical stresses on the connector for something you're going to be holding in your hand and it really wouldn't have been hard to have a barrel jack but supply it with a type-c adaptor you could run inline for a bit more versatility.
They have higher end spec USB-C connectors, but my concern is the large amount of out-of-spec cables out there. When 20 volts becomes a thing, we are going to see house fires:P
Then problem for me is more the shape of the connector, flat connectors like usb connectors are much weaker in one direction than the other and rarely that hard to break as a result, barrel connectors are notably stronger. But the fire thing is definitely a consideration :D
With the abuse that I've put my USB-C cable through on my laptop(A GPD pocket that gets thrown into bags and knocked about) and friends have with their phones so long as they use a good socket, I expect it to hold up at least as well as a barrel jack. I'd be much more worried about the cables, I've damaged a few Chinese ones but a genuine apple one has held up well.
Where so you get these ideas from? Your videos are always super informative and hilarious mate hahahahaha you crack me up!! I have the TS100, can’t wait to get my hands on the TS80 (TS200) loved the improvements ohhhh yeaaahhh =]
I've been on the fence about the TS100 for ages... never enough compelling reasons to buy, but the TS80 tips me over the fence completely... I can't wait for it to ship so I can get one! Thanks for the great review.
I completely agree with wanting the distance between tip and fingers to be as short as possible. I was planning to build my own iron using the Weller tips, until I found a Metcal for cheap. The ergonomics are superb.
Mark Denovich I agree a short distance is preferred. Have a look at the tips used in the Iso-Tip cordless irons. I have a 40 year old model that's hard to beat. I'd love to see a modern version of my red Iso-Tip iron.
I barely have any knowledge when it comes to electronics (but I do have a lot of interest) and your channel quickly became one of my top 5 favourites. Good humor, good editing, cool projects and projects. You have it all!
I hope they implement PD2.0 with the type-c connector, that way they can have up to 100w to heat up the iron. I regularly power my ts100 with a PD adapter and type-c laptop charger. Super convenient.
20 degrees difference? The clip you showed looked more like 30 degrees difference. In any case I'd really prefer a rerun of that test. Otherwise awesome video!
ats1995 also ts80 has a different tip and he is holding the ts80 right against the board while ts100 narrow tip barely touched it. That's why ts100 melts the solder faster but doesn't tin the pad
I've been eyeing the TS100 myself, but, based on this video, the TS80 seems like such a good upgrade that I think I'll just wait for it. I do very much like the design and I have no issue with the USB type-C connector.
I really Look forward to that. Exactly what i would love to have. You have to be careful though with comparing quickcharge with powerdelivery. They are compleatly different: Qualcomm quickcharge negoshiates over the usb2.0 D+ and D- pins while PD has 2 dedicated pins on the usb C port called CC1 and CC2. Quickcharge just tries to set a output voltage over a slow digital handshake (takes around 2 secounds) while PowerDelivery has a real communicationsystem, so the device knows which voltages and currents can be achieved and then decides on what to choose.
Another awesome review. When you get all these toys free, I am so jealous. I don't have the budget to keep up with this technology so I may have to leapfrog... Looking forward to the next soldering iron video!
I was under the impression that they were using the Qualcomm Quickcharge standard rather than USB PD. I bought a PD buddy off Tindie so I can power it off my beefy laptop/phone charger or my beefy power bank.
When I built a USB-C soldering iron on a lark last year I was able to get a bit over 30W out of it, and if this one is made to work down to 9v you could do PWM tricks to allow it to sink whatever power is available from the source.
I made a silicone power cord for my TS100 from a tattoo gun power cord. Flexible, solder resistant, it almost makes the TS100 feel cordless. I have an Aoyue 968A+ but the TS100 has pretty much replaced it.
2:42 Is this an electronics video or a Wes Anderson film? Bravo. I haven't seen any electronics content shot so beautifully; let alone on RUclips. It's almost like a Cannes regular quit the festival film scene and began making electronics videos instead. The cherry on this cake is the fact that this guy knows how to review electronics thoroughly. Thank you for the wallpaper: imgur.com/a/yqkhQ3h
My TS100 has seen fairly heavy use and the case is almost as nice as the day I opened the package. Maybe a QC issue, assuming you aren't doing odd things to it.
*Notorious Meerkat* Nigga I'm profesionally soldering... *Marco Reps* Hmm, using it? And I used it like 20 times maybe, it's actually replacement, first one broke for some reason and had always power on 100% so I got red glowing tip. Both of them are cracking around screws as *NS Gaming* says. Planning to take out electronics, put them into 24V laptop style power pack and connect T12 Hakko iron.
ich mag deine videos sehr ! toller schnitt, super sounddesign und immer ein bisschen Witz mit dabei! nach deinem TS100 video habe ich mir auch direkt einen gekauft :D ich verstehe nicht wie ich jahre lang ohne dieses wunder auskam! sorry 4 my bed enlish ;)
Hmmm, I was going to pull the trigger on a TS100 when I moved out, but I guess I might just wait and see what price will be connected to the TS80. Metal construction is worth the wait, and the fact that it looks like something you could use to disassemble a Dalek doesn't hurt either.
OK thats cool! type-C directly on it! very nice as the barrel jack would come out after a bit, though you can use usb to power the TS-100 with a quick charge trigger board but it would have to be 12v and over a type-A to barrel jack cable so not really fully in spec.
i think by the end of the cable the voltage should be lower than 20v under load ( depending on what thickness of wire they use ) its common to slightly over deliver to compensate for voltage loss in cables ( at least in chinesium products )
Great, they've finally shortened the tip shaft, I'm pretty sure it was pretty high on the improvement list. I didn't like the long TS100, when doing micro soldering the tip has to be as close to the hand as possible. This one fits my needs perfectly. :)
Another totally Awsome video and review! Great video Marco! :) I think the tip of the new TS80 seems scarily enough with those 5$ USB solder irons ... it looks actually exactly like those. The first time I saw one of those I ordered one and was surprised to see those little tips do actually work! It seems to me the heating element is confined/packed into the tip part and hence it does provide for more efficient soldering with less power. I do not know if Marco made a review of one of those cheap USb solders ... but it would be interesting to mention anyway ... I know bigclivedotcom did one review of those ...
Love to watch all your video. Beside your pet I thought you’d bring along a non contact volt detector to show us the fence in the field is life, charged with high voltage. :)
Usb and power in one makes sense, makes the device slimmer. I'm sure with a custom battery pack with a type c connector, you can get fairly good performance out of it. I'm curious what the open source community will do with this one. I'm also hoping for a wider variety of tips, but also in a shorter variety; I'd rather have the tip right after the conical piece with the holes, not sure what the technical name for it is. Another thing I'm curious about, though it has no practicality, is using an audio extension cable. I remember Ben Heck making a 'Solder Gauntlet' where the iron's tip was on the finger tip of a glove, basically so you have a free hand; using audio jacks, audio cables, and some 3d prints, this could vastly improve the idea of hands free soldering.
LabCat Nahh I like the idea of a gas/butane/propane free portable iron. Would make my job easier and tinkering at home on my tiny desk. A quick look on the Weller site didn't show anything comparable?
Thanks for the amazing video (as usual) :D I decided to finally buy a TS100 yesterday, mostly because I got my notebook (and power brick) with me nearly all the time, but an USB C version is even better, since I want to buy a good, fast charging battery bank for a long time now.
I really hope they go with USB-PD and not with QC for the USB-C charging amp/voltage control. There are now plenty of good USB-PD chargers and battery pacs that can provide 15v by 3a or 45 watts; with the spec allowing up to 20v by 5a or 100 watts in the spec. QC is a dying spec and should be avoided.
I felt the test result where the TS100 only draws 500mA under load seemed off so i tested my TS100. When heating up the TS100 draws nearly 3A at 24V and under load when soldering large thermal sinks i can easily get peaks over 1.5A. I think there is something wrong with your TS100 or with the tip you are using.
At 8:00 the heating comparison of the two models might be skewed due to the angle of the heating element touching he board. Even being a slight angle off, it will not conduct the heat as well as the other tip making full parallel contact with the board. Just sayin'
Why does no-one mention earthing? The TS100 needs a separate earth wire connected by a screw if you want to eliminate leakage current from switch-mode power supplies. And you do, unless you are an R/C nut using it in the field from batteries. Does the USB system do anything to get around this? Are there USB PSUs that pass through earthing (IEC 61140 PELV connection)?
There is a ground connection available on the ts-80 via a bolt at the rear of the unit. You can electrically ground the tip using a spade connector and a a little wire if you want to.
@@lmaoroflcopter guys can you tell me what happens if I just hook my ts100 up to my 750w 12v power supply? should I need to ground anything? It works when I connect it but I don't get the same performance from a more or less equal voltage lipo like a 3s
@@syzygyfpv5135 the grounding we are talking about is more for spurious current flowing through the tip. It should do nothing for performance it's only for protection of whatever you're soldering/you if you hit a live component. As for what happens with your 750w power supply, it sounds suspiciously like you're using an ATX power supply. Chances are the single 12V rail you're using is just getting pushed too far with an iron hanging off of it. If the batteries work better, use the batteries.
@@lmaoroflcopter Thanks for the help appreciated, I use a server PSU it's HP and my friend did all the cabling for me. I mainly use it to power up my chargers. Thanks for the suggestions again, I like soldering using 6S anyway, I'll stick to that :)

Very cool! Love the TS100, but a more portable USB-C version would be a nice addition.
You probably should calibrate your TS100, that 30° difference is definitely enough to show that kind of performance difference.
I tried on mine - it didn't do anything pretty much. And it's less accurate if the power supply is a bit weak.
U could do a comparison where both soldering irons were at real 300c
I hope they implement PD2.0 with the type-c connector, that way they can have up to 100w to heat up the iron. I regularly power my ts100 with a PD adapter and type-c laptop charger. Super convenient.

Hey, 20V usb-c power supplies are available, for example the Macbook Pro 15' power supply outputs 20.4V/4.3A
they just had to violate the standard, (even if only by .4V)
i think by the end of the cable the voltage should be lower than 20v under load ( depending on what thickness of wire they use )
its common to slightly over deliver to compensate for voltage loss in cables ( at least in chinesium products )
The tolerance is 5% (+/- 1V), so it's well within spec.
for everyone who will buy this i can only recommend getting the kit with the usb cable it is a super flexible silicone 1m type c cable
I have TS100 and not totally happy but this TS80 seems very good especially when we just get those 20vdc QC3 supplys.
you sneaky bastard! you said what I wanted to hear, that my ts100 is still a valuable option. good job!

No, the final version has QC 3.0. In my opinion, the TS100 is better since it can be used with 18V batteries.

Next soldering iron video is happening today BUT fume extractor is already here :)
I need that banana ruler!
getting mine in 1week cant wait .
oh maaan, just got my ts100 few months ago
Best video of the day. Love the dog
At 8:00 the heating comparison of the two models might be skewed due to the angle of the heating element touching he board. Even being a slight angle off, it will not conduct the heat as well as the other tip making full parallel contact with the board. Just sayin'
This video was amazing!!!
Why does no-one mention earthing? The TS100 needs a separate earth wire connected by a screw if you want to eliminate leakage current from switch-mode power supplies. And you do, unless you are an R/C nut using it in the field from batteries. Does the USB system do anything to get around this? Are there USB PSUs that pass through earthing (IEC 61140 PELV connection)?
what do you mean by the need of separate earth wire? I'm powering mine from an HP 750w 12v PSU should I do anything about it?
There is a ground connection available on the ts-80 via a bolt at the rear of the unit. You can electrically ground the tip using a spade connector and a a little wire if you want to.
@@lmaoroflcopter guys can you tell me what happens if I just hook my ts100 up to my 750w 12v power supply? should I need to ground anything? It works when I connect it but I don't get the same performance from a more or less equal voltage lipo like a 3s
@@syzygyfpv5135 the grounding we are talking about is more for spurious current flowing through the tip. It should do nothing for performance it's only for protection of whatever you're soldering/you if you hit a live component.
As for what happens with your 750w power supply, it sounds suspiciously like you're using an ATX power supply. Chances are the single 12V rail you're using is just getting pushed too far with an iron hanging off of it. If the batteries work better, use the batteries.
@@lmaoroflcopter Thanks for the help appreciated, I use a server PSU it's HP and my friend did all the cabling for me. I mainly use it to power up my chargers. Thanks for the suggestions again, I like soldering using 6S anyway, I'll stick to that :)
Wow, interesting new product...
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
