The one I had was a cheap one from Radioshack that had fixed wattage, and it was old anyways, I watched some youtube videos. Hobbyists recommend getting soldering station with adjustable wattage. There was couple of brands they recommended, Weller, and Hakko are the two im looking at right now, I am leaning more towards weller and their model WLC100 vs their Hakko FX888D, reason being is WLC100 is about 40 dollars, while the hakko FX888D series are 100+.

Hopefully that is helpful!
