There seems to be some magic at work such that no matter where I sit, no matter what angle I hold the iron, no matter where I put the fume extractor, and no matter how much I hold my breath... the main tendril of solder smoke will aim directly for my nostrils, without fail. I'm sure this power could be used for good, if only I knew how. -Seth
