From the manufacturer
What type of fuel should be used with the Versatip?
The Versatip takes standard butane fuel that is available in most grocery chains, hardware stores, and home centers.
How long will the Versatip’s torch burn before requiring refueling?
Exact run times will vary based on use. The run-time of any Dremel tool is highly dependent on a number of different factors, including the size of the flame. The run time will be considerably longer running the tool on a low flame.
The VersaTip isn’t igniting, what’s the recommended way to light it?
Make sure the Flame Guard is activated on the tool. It will not light without the Flame Guard in the correct position.

Customers are mixed about the heat of the soldering iron. Some mention that it heats up quickly, it's variable heat, and it' s VERY portable. It produces a lot of heat, but the design on the versa tip keeps it from melting away. It does a great job with shrink tubing and cutting, and the heat is easy to control. However, some customers say that it gets hot enough to melt their tip if they aren't careful, it takes a long time to heat up, and does not really reach the temperature necessary to allow the solders to flow. They also say that the iron starts easily, is convenient due to the built-in diffuser.

"...but I can tell you that the igniter design on the versa tip keeps it from melting away and I don"t ever see it failing (and it hasn't so far)...." Read more
Customers have negative things to say about the flame of the soldering iron. They say, for example, it's hot, which is good, but it causes poor combustion conditions and overheats the diffuser. Customers also mention that the flame diffuser burned out after just a few times of use, and it'd be difficult to ignite at high-altitude. Customers are also concerned about the tip assembly and its related finicky ignition, saying that it will not work with the flame pointing straight down.

"...The wide blower tip isn't as hot, which is good, but it causes poor combustion conditions and overheats the diffuser...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the light. Some mention it's easy to light and use, while others say that it just won't light. The switch is hard to use, and it takes about a dozen attempts to light the light on the first time.

Long answer: The temperature while soldering is a little hard to control, but that is too be expected. The safety block on the switch is a little finicky to work flipped upside down, but you'll get used to it. The fuel tank is a little small, but any bigger would be hard to handle. No leaks or anything. It comes with a place to put the hot bits if you swap it out, a sponge for cleaning the soldering iron, and a handy cap that you can put on it so you don't have to worry about it catching something on fire when you set it aside. All the threads and fitting are made well, so they shouldn't gum up on you. The wrenches fit well, so no chance of stripping the bits. The solder included works well enough, but for fine work get some better stuff and some flux. Overall a great little tool that is good for fine work and saves a lot of space in your tool kit. I recommend keeping a bottle of spare butane with it.
Easy to fill. Be sure to place Butane nozzle strait down (not at the slightest angle) to assure a good seal when filling this unit. Yes, as the Butane chamber fills, it will overflow and spray a little liquid fuel out, but, that's how you know the soldering Iron is filled. If you want to save fuel in the future, note the seconds needed to fill completely (3-5 seconds) and just do half of that to partially fill the chamber.
Temp control seems perfect for most all smaller job soldering. At the low setting, it was very sufficient to solder fine wires. I have not yet used or needed to try the high setting, but, in watching the brightness of the flame at high setting, this little beast should work on larger gauge wiring and related repairs as well.
I have 2 old plug-in soldering irons that seems to be getting slower to heat up as the elements are probably getting weaker. The best thing I love about this Dremel is no waiting, you are ready to solder as soon as you ignite it!
One oddity is this unit is sometimes hard to ignite on the first few clicks, but, only when the soldering tip is in place. With other attachments on it or when the front unit is unscrewed and removed, it ignites the first click every time.
I figured out why this is occurring with the solder tip plus another oddity I noticed using the soldering tip only:
If you look inside the back of the soldering tip, there is a non-flammable mesh in the recessed area back of it to allow the flame to heat the tip though conduction, but, not actually have the flame reach the rear of the soldering tip. This also seems to restrict gas flow and I found when turning the unit off, (unlocked or hand holding the ignitor and turning down the flow to minimum, it can take up to 30 seconds for the flame inside to fully extinguish. I found this out when 30 seconds after shutoff, I slightly depressed the ignitor just enough to allow more gas to flow and the flame was still there. It took 60 seconds after use and shutdown to not have this occur and the unit was then fully off and the tip cooled down,
This I think was due to the gas being restricted a bit when using the soldering tip assembly and the gas is still flowing for the remaining amount past the shutoff valve.
This is kind of like some barbecue grills, where you shut off the propane cylinder, but, the regulator takes a few seconds or more to fully deplete the remaining propane in the line.
This is not a big deal, but, my current protocol now is to set the unit down on metal after use for a few minutes to both cool down and allow any remaining butane to empty out forward of the shutoff valve/ignition area.
A decent mini butane system though for light jobs where you don't need a big flame.
I also suggest for soldering delicate areas or near plastic, etc, to wrap the area you do not want near the heat of this unit, using a small piece of aluminum foil as a shield.
Overall, 3 stars for the oddity of how this unit in being sluggish to fully shut off after using the soldering tip assembly and its related finicky ignition which might require several or more ignition clicks to get the gas ignited, and 5 stars over-all for it as an over-all tool using the other included accessories.
(to note, Amazon now has the replacement soldering tips in stock)
It was nice to have an item (specifically, a speciality tool with accessories) arrived with its own carrycase! A DECENT aluminum box, not plastic!
The butane gas supply last a good long while as well, even on high. But make sure you have an extra butane refill cartridge or two handy.
I first used this to solder some wires underneath my vehicle dash board– which is VERY tightly contained! I realized the soldering iron runs VERY HOT and you can't turn it down any further. The key is to be quick! Short duration solder touches or you'll melt the protective sheathing right off the wires!
I used the heat blower attachment to heat shrink said soldered wires and it did an excellent job with both tasks! Again, work as quickly with this soldering iron attachment as you can safely manage. It will easily ruin anything it comes in contact with for long durations. (.05 to 2 seconds, TOPS!).
Additionally, I used the hot air blower on a rusted nut and it unfroze that thing in no time at all! It works great for that and everything else I tried! This tool is well worth the money!
The gas supply last a good long while as well, even on high. But make sure you have an extra butane refill cartridge laying around somewhere . sure to have a spare butane refill handy!
My favorite and most notable part of this review is this thing actually comes with its own carry case! (An aluminum box).
It should last a very long time assuming it's cared for properly.
I never understood how any tool company could sell a tool with its accessories, without SOME KIND or case!
To me, that is inexcusable!
So Dremel wins a 5 stars review for a quality item WITH its own carry case!
Worth every penny and highly recommend!

SECOND, sometimes you need to solder small components, and sometimes you need to solder bigger things. The approach that works best for me is to have a small-power electric iron for sensitive components, something in the 20-50W fine-tipped. Then if you need to solder a ground bus or tin a good-sized wire or whatever....
Fire this thing up and wait like 5 seconds and you're ready to solder anything. A 10 seconds heating and you're good to up to like 10 AWG. You could probably go without a low-power electric for sensitive components with judicious heat settings on this thing.
But wait, there's more! I don't use the hot cutting edges, but just for the hot air shrink adapter it's worth half of it. Thingies for hot-air shrinking run for about 20$ CAD. So in conclusion, this is a GREAT tool and VERY WELL BUILT.
Do not hesitate and do not waste your money on cheap chinese knock-outs like I did.
