of course, but soldering 12awg shouldnāt really be that difficult for an iron like TS100

What iron did you get? I have a ts80 and Iām not going to lie, it really isnāt that good for 12awg or XT60. My 60W 20euro Amazon one does a way better job, but it isnāt 400CĀ° because the tip gets red in under 20min 
so a Def fire hazard that you need to be weary of

prob
with my weller solder it is super easy even for 10-12awg with my thinner random one i can only do 12awg or thinner
however the weller solder costs like Ā£8 for 100grams so really expensive

This little guy can really do that?
It runs off a micro usb? Wtfā¦

@Venom121212 yup with ease.
It runs of 24V via the barrel port at the end.
65Watts and the heating element is integrated into the tip. That way it heats up super fast and has a better thermal coupling than letās say some weller stations (those where the tip slides over the heating element).
The usb port is for uploading custom firmware and tweaking settings

Yeah, these little portable guys are getting pretty usable. I only bust out my solder station if I need the big guns now. Iāve got a ts80 and a pinecil which both have usb-c power. Itās pretty nice to just be able to grab my macbook charger and run the things, lol.

Ah OK.
Check out that wireless power though
Itās been recommended enough times that I may check it out. Mine has always been ok but never overwhelmingly good. Will be interesting to compare.

the only problem about the TS100, the rest are really good
still donāt understand why donāt they put type c on it, it would have been real good to just plug in a PD phone charger and use it

when the ts100 came out usb-c wasnāt a thing yet
usb PD also not.
If you want PD, just get the TS80P or the Pinecil

they could have made a update version or something, but i guess if it aināt broken donāt fix it
if i need something more powerful, is there any good solder station for suggestion?

never change a running (selling) system 
the ts100 is the most used portable hobby soldering iron in the world i think. Everybody loves it.
They did come out with new versions but made the less powerfull. So ts100 is still the king xD
If u have the money get a JBC station. Thatās the best you can get. (I think @Lee_Wright recently got one)
This one is 130W but costs 350ā¬
