    Yes, that is true if there is already solder on the coil. You raise a good point that wasn’t mentioned, it always works best to tin both connecting points before attempting to solder them together. 30W and a good clean tip will solder most small wires, but it does require more contact time which may result in the heat penetrating deeper into the coil causing damage. I doubt it would really cause an issue, however it does have the potential.

    Soldering pen is another name for a small pointed soldering iron like the type used for circuit boards.
