Since soldering produces quite a bit of problematic fumes, mainly from the flux used, I wanted to give a fume extractor a shot. The FA400 is originally by Hakko, but since I need to do my hobby on the cheap, I test a Chinese unbranded clone of the same device. It uses the same active charcoal filters as the original and even the colors and styling look surprisingly similar.
