I cant speak for all of them, but I did order a Helios(knockoff) from them. When I received it, I was quite disapointed to find that the "adjustable" airflow would not adjust.....like it was welded in place. It may have been just the one they sent me, who knows.

If it is anything like the trident, It usually is a bit hard to get it all apart.

But you must do this if you can, Then apply some juice around all the o rings, and re-assemle. This should loosen it up a bit so it will be easier to adjust.

EDIT: Helio vs Trident vs V10

Im talking about the ones on fasttech!...Which is better?

All are dual coil and are similar in size.

Helio 5$ -- Trident 16$ -- V10 5$

The trident seems to have a more complex construction with multiple o-rings and the Helio and V10 are really simple in design..

SO which gives better toots?


I purchased them all recently and already been messing with them. So far, the helio is crap. I thought the middle ring moved for diff configs of the airhole, I was WRONG! The trident is a solid atty, but for mines at least the top cap under the drip tip tends to come off too easy. trying to fill my atty with drops of juice, i always tend to pull the top half off instead of the drip tip. the v10 seems to be the only one with no flaws as of yet that I can find. Honestly, I DO like the build of the trident, I keep going back to this one for some reason. it's easy to work on and setup, i think i just have to find orings that fit better. omw to home depot!!! Fast tech has the first rev of the igo-w for like $7. i ordered a couple of those and just drilled out a second airhole for dual coil configs. also made the original holes larger to 1/16.

Well here it is jimi,

6 wraps of .5 ribbon on doubled 3mm silica = 1.3 ohms. I can tell you that the trident from festtech is very well made. solid o rings and everything is in place. works like a charm, i tried it with duals, but it was just too harsh with 18 mg liquid; so i am running it single, till my 9 and 12 mg get here.

the trident clone on FT is probably the best clone on the market. It, from what i can tell, is an exact duplicate. While i know the Helios has some variation from the original. If it were me, I would buy the Trident.

I think you are correct lips,

Fantastic dripper.
