One piece of advice I'd be giving anyone who's about to go out and buy kit would be to look for something with adjustable/interchangeable tips.
Doing that Enneagram up there^ was almost impossible as I kept desoldering one joint as I was trying to make another. I broke and fixed it about a dozen times!

From what I've read you'll burn through the oxy tanks on those kits really quickly.
Lots of ppl using Oxy-Propane setups. Which give a heat closer to Oxy-Acet, or closer than MAP gas alone. Plus you can get a tank from B&Q and its less volatile.

^ sh*t hadn't thought of that! I was gonna buy one of these little kits but maybe a small oxy tank is still enough to cause a serious issue.
Maybe I'll buy a mapp rotherberger thing as I only really want to do small bits like eylets and rack mounts.
