i bought a soldering iron (that coldheat one) and im practicing soldering on some scrap 12 gauge wire...ony problem is i can only get it to solder a small amout of solder or not any at all. when the tip is heated, i can apply solder directly to the tip and it wont melt. Im thinking of just getting a regular soldering iron that actually has continuous heat. but could anyone think of what i might be doing wrong with the cold heat? (it only heats the tip when it touches wire and i can apply solder to the tip when it is heated and it wont melt..
