You can adjust setting with a ring adaptor.

Functional comparison with the sponge type
Cat. | The sponge type | Evaluation | KEC20 | Evaluation |
Temperature drops of the solder tip | Drops suddenly by using water | X | Doesn't drop, because it doesn’t use water. | O |
Soldering balls generation | Drops suddenly by using water | X | Doesn’t scatter | O |
Damage to the solder tip | Serious damages by suddenly drop of temperature | X | No damages by using soft materials | O |
Solder residue disposal | Needs to dispose waste fluid after washing | X | Residue is collected in the case and it doesn't need to dispose. | O |
