I'm not sure if someone knows the real answer to this..

I need to do some soldering to the Phantom board to install the Zenmuse Gimbal. But this is a soldering question.

I just bought a Wella soldering station that says 'lead free ready'. I think the soldering iron's tips have been 'pre tinned with lead free solder'.

Anyways. Does this mean that my soldering tip should ONLY be used with lead free solder? Do I need to buy different soldering tips if I want to use solder than contains lead? Am I meant to change tips here for every solder job if it's switching from LEAD FREE to LEAD?

Don't try to overthink it. You'll be just fine using it like it is. The different tips are just sizes. you'll be doing
a lot of getting extra, or dirty solder off the tip, on the wet sponge, and afterwards re tinning , and repeating over
and over again..... ;)
