If you connect 24V on the barrel, the chip will be powered outside of its recommended specs which might impact lifetime. I got mine and it makes a hissing sound from time to time, especially when I use my cheap USB QC3 charger (~10V) but also on my 19V Barrel. On their Chat at least two others had similar problems. I’m really not sure how long my iron will last. And they only have 30 days warranty…

I’m normally not too hard on my tips, but if I need to desolder a stubborn part once in awhile it’s OK to sacrifice a tip that costs ten cents, but not a tip that costs ten dollars.

Time For A Teardown

When it comes to doing a wear test, there are, of course, many different eyeliner styles. That means we tested each eyeliner in every style – in the waterline, over the lash line, and in a more graphic, winged style. This also gave us a feeling for how easy and smooth the liners were to apply in different areas, which showed us how well-suited each liner is for each style.

One guy on the chat had a Diode floating in his case another one found a capacitor that was soldered very crappy. Hmmm… It seems to me the problem with these new irons is the “tips”. (If I’m not mistaken the Miniware TS1OO and the Pinecil both use the same tips.) It seems the “tips” aren’t really just tips, but tips permanently affixed to the heating element. So if you want to change the tip, you have to change out a perfectly good heating element along with it. That’s wasteful.Another thing, the pinecil has a screw to connect it to ESD Earth. To my understanding it should be connected to the Tip, but it isn’t.

The Pinecil’s case is marginally bigger than the TS100 and weighs slightly more, but is substantially built and not flimsy as the cheap SanErYiGo iron was. Its nine-second heat-up time is comfortably faster than its competitor. The silicone finger sleeve is a very nice touch indeed, and gives the iron a good feel in use. It’s clear that some thought has gone into making the case more than just a handle, with those moulded stand protrusions making it safe to put down on the bench when hot.One small issue you may encounter with this affordable liner is that it has a really creamy consistency and isn’t waterproof. That means it’s a little prone to smudging throughout the day; you can fix this problem with setting spray, or by setting the liner with a similar coloured eyeshadow over the top. And “significant thought has gone into it”… they initially had a 21V Zener diode right across the power rail without a series resistor. So above 21V the Zener was immediately blown. They didn’t populate it on the production run. But at least one guy was sent a preproduction unit instead. After complaining he got a replacement. But I still wonder how often that error occured.

Waterline: To apply eyeliner to your waterline, the first step is to use a cotton swab to carefully and gently dry the waterline. Next, whilst looking directly into the mirror, tilt your head down and gently pull down the lower eyelid. Then, carefully apply the pencil over the lower waterline and let go. To do your upper lash line, repeat the steps but tilt your head up and instead of pulling the skin, hold your lashes up on your brow bone whilst you apply. You can also apply an eyeshadow over the top to set the liner in place.

You can also use coloured eyeshadow to blend out pencil eyeliner. The best eyeliner pencil you can buy in 2023 1. Kylie Kyliner gel eyeliner pencil: Best pigmented eyeliner pencil It’s obvious that the irons to beat in this category are the Miniware TS100 and TS80 for DC and USB-C power respectively. We’ve also seen that even the cheapest iron we’ve found of this type gives a good account of itself as a soldering iron, so how does this new one differentiate itself when “being a soldering iron” with the same tips as its competitor is something of a done deal?The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air and iPad (10th generation) screens are 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches. Actual viewable area is less. A short press next to the soldering iron icon starts the tip heating, and the temperature is displayed on the screen. I timed its heat-up from ambient to 320 °C at about nine seconds, which is not as fast as some high-end irons, but certainly no slouch.
