Hakko FA-400 Smoke Absorber

It's cool. Well, not quite. But it's smoking. Umm,  that's not right, either. It's anti-smoking. Whoever redesigned their 493 smoke absorber did a pretty good job - it's much better than it was before! And Hakko even posted a cool video showing how good it is (sorry, can't embed the video here).
