A technique I learned and used: take a thick gauge copper wire, like the one used for house wiring or just a tad thinner, and tightly wrap it around your 100W tip, as many turns as fits. Then allow about 1-1/2 to 2" long tip, shape it with a file to a bevel. It is excellent to use for small wires. The ratio of tip length to number of turns dictates the temperature.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
