And also you want to keep the cell as cool as possible as you should have the iron on the cell for a short time as possible to reduce risk of damage.
Also i dont think you need flux i have alwaysused multicore solder and i have never had a pack of cells fall apart on my and never had a bad connection. But if your used to using flux use it. And a big tipped soldering iron is essencial thats why i got my big iron it gets so hot you can feel it just sitting buy it.

To efficiently and safely solder cells, you need
1. Decent solder
2. Flux
3. The correct tip, with a large mass, not a small tip.
oh...
and patience!!!
