Default first time soldering EC5 bullets

Hi: This will be my first time soldering EC5 bullets and I was wondering about my 63/37 solder I just bought. I have seen the videos of how to solder these connectors and not to fill the cups with too much solder to avoid spilling over when installing the tinned wires,but is there enough flux inside my solder,or should I add a little bit (if I can find it somewhere!?)
Also would I be better off using a torch,( all I have is a regular torch for soldering copper pipes,but maybe too much heat?) to properly heat the bullets, so as to get get them to the proper temp and not sure if my 40 watt Weller can cut it as far as heat goes?
Do you find that there is sufficient flux inside the rosin core solder? Thanks,Huck
