I certainly do, they are some of the toughest plugs to solder because of the size and heat they hold..!! make sure to plug them into each other whilst soldering..??
If you have never soldered before I really wouldn't recommend starting with these..? but I'm all for people learning new stuff so my advice is YouTube/Google first and work out the best way that works for you..???

Maybe around $100 each per battery
I do induction Brazing so I understand the concept, but never soldered. What type of flux do you use?

That’s good stuff. You can’t get it anymore. I have a tin I inherited from my father when he passed in 1995 it was very old then and I think it will out live me...

I’m not a fan. Both my SMC lipos puffed up in 6S rigs. They held up ok in lighter 3S and 4S rigs.
I would definitely practice before doing it 'for real'. I have a PACE MBT SR-4 solder station for RC connector work and BashingBrian makes some good points about putting the plug with it's mate while soldering - the other pins serve as a bit of a heatsink and the plastic of the mating plug keeps the pins aligned in case you get things a little too hot and the plastic of the plug being soldered starts softening. You should also figure out a system to hold the plug in place while you solder (vice clamp or something similar).
