Hot air setup is the next thing.
I was doing some board repair this weekend, and used a mix of Hakko 472 vacuum and
hot air equipment. I was having trouble clearing the holes completely with the Hakko
so I heated the board with a 1" hot air nozzle, pulled the part, then used an Edsyn
Atmoscope to blow the holes clean.
Cleaning the Hakko is SO much easier than a Pace (there is no glass to burn your
fingers on).
I'm not impressed with Weller vaccums either, though to be fair it's pretty old
tech.
