Don't yell at me Elliot, but I don't use a temperature regulator on my soldering iron. I just use a $5 one that turns on instantly when it's plugged in. Soldering stations like those can be $80, which is why I don't use them. I'll definietly get one in the future.

Regulated soldering irons are not only safer to an extent, but they do better quality work than unregulated ones.

Other stuff you'll need are some tin-lead solder and some rosin flux.

So I wouldn't really recommend my first soldering iron that I used. If you have the money, get a regulated soldering station instead. Safety first guys.
