    FINALLY! I can just grab my drill, some screws, some baking soda, a syringe, a D battery, and some gorilla glue to make a lighter that barely lights, and could potentially explode, instead of wasting 2 bucks on a new one!

    That's a great way to fry your usb adapter, Shorting the leads to make that soldering iron tip heat up requires a ton of current. Even on the lower power end, a soldering iron would require 20W to be dissipated. From a 5 volt usb supply that would mean 4 amps of current is required, when most usb adapters are rated between 1 and 3 amps. This is disregarding power losses throughout the length of the tip and contact resistances at the terminals.

      youre saying working 1 hour at mcdonals to buy a cheap solder iron is more efficient then making one out of household products? hmmm maybe , but then you gotta write a resume, apply a bunch of times, buy some clothes, wake up couple hours early , or you could have just turned that pencil and wire on your desk into one...? i dunno... close call.
