Hey everybody!
Just picked up a new trident clone from Free-cigs.com and wanted to do sort of a review on it since there aren't many out there.

I started dripping about a month and a half ago and fell in love. I started out with an Octopus and modded it a little bit, but it was very poor quality and didn't live up to my standards(after all, it was only 10 bucks).

I opened the package and there it was!!!! beautiful. It is all stainless steel(303 grade?). There are 5 air hole options. One incredibly small one that looked like one on an Evod base, a slightly larger one, a 1/16 sized one, a dual 1/16 size one, and a very large one…Probably 5/64 or 3/32? I must say I was upset that there were not at least 2 dual air hole settings on the device.
The drip tip is shaky and I have found that normal 510 drip tips don't really fit on it well. I don't really know why this is.

The body looks very nice and is definitely sturdy. The 4 o-rings are decent. I would give them a 7/10 dry.

The deck is HUGE!!!! tons of room for whatever coil you wish to build on it. The only thing is the screws to the positive and negative post are terrrrriiiibbbblllleee. The threading for them is very sub par. Also, these screws use a flathead and it is very awkward to screw them on especially when attempting harder builds. The posts are placed a good distance apart(which can sometimes be annoying) and the well will definitely hold any excess liquid that you may drip in. I have had some leaking issues with it, but I have figured out that when I am done, if I turn the top piece just a tad, it will close both outer air holes off!

The 510 connection at the bottom is great! I read that some Trident clones had issues screwing into a normal 510 connection, but it screws into my magneto fine.

Two of the main reasons I decided on this one is it is 23.99, and it has a copper center pin. It hits MUCH harder than other stainless steel drippers that I have messed around with or tried.

Overall I must say I love this device! For the price you get what you pay for. I posted this in the New Members Forum because I think this is a great way to get started into dripping!!!

I have the same trident and have the same problems with the posts, its what you get with a trident, even the true grand vapor tridents are like this, you can drilll out more holes to make it truly perfect for yourself, make sure that you screw the bottom pin all the way so that its pretty flush so you dont hurt any of your mods, it will always connect, but if you leave it out you might smash the pin in the mod and other attys wont work anymore

The post screws for the Trident are a bit wonky. Just make sure you don't over-tighten them. I had one of the posts on mine snap off. Luckily it was one of the negative posts, so it is still working. Would be better with more airflow. Maybe if it had a larger set of dual holes. Although when I had dual coils on it the air flow was adequate.

Mine was a FT clone. Can't complain for $12
