About this deal

I could run the generic iron alongside the new fancy iron, but is it really worth it? The generic temperature controlled iron heats fast enough, is fairly stable, and has adequate thermal mass. What advantages does a TS100 or Pinecil (with its pricey “tip”) bring to my bench? 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… Except in this device it actually brings some interesting features on the table, all that on open and relatively simple hardware, offline and feature oriented, which is important. Kat Von D’s tattoo liner has been a cult favourite in the beauty industry for years, owing to its no-budge formula that’s opaque, waterproof, smudge resistant and lasts all day. Whilst the range’s liquid liner is the most popular amongst makeup artists, fans of eyeliner pencils will be glad to know that the pencil version also lives up the tattoo-liner name. It’s got great pigmentation for drawing on bold liner looks and the twist-up applicator means that there’s no need to carry a sharpener or waste any product sharpening. 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.

Smoky eye: Start by creating a basic liner look and then use a small fluffy brush, or your pinky finger to blend out the liner slightly. You can also use coloured eyeshadow to blend out pencil eyeliner. 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.Types Mini Stainless Steel Soldering Iron Tip Replacement for TS100 Portable Outdoor Soldering Iron Kit (1pc TS-D24 Soldering tip) Cat eye: To start, create a basic liner look then follow the line of your lower lash line upwards to create an angle. Some people find that using their fingertips to pull on the outer corner of the eye helps to draw a smooth line. 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.

Build quality… Well the USB-PD Chip is rated 28V absolute maximum, but only 21V recommended. If you connect 24V on the barrel, the chip will be powered outside of its recommended specs which might impact lifetime. 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. Since cosmetics were created, eyeliner has been a staple product to frame our eyes. Evidence suggests that as early as 400BC Egyptian royals would use Kohl eyeliner as a mark of high status, often winging their eyes right out to the hairline — that’s where the iconic cat-eye look began. 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. 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.Even this article’s third paragraph starts with “present from Hong Kong”.

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. Pencil eyeliners are an incredibly versatile tool to have in your makeup bag — there are tonnes of different ways to apply them but getting the application right comes with practise. Here are some tips for applying pencil eyeliner to get some basic looks: 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. 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. I put the Pinecil through its paces, and and although the device is fully open source, give it a teardown for good measure. Spoiler: it’s my new favorite.
