Trident w/ Ribbon Wire *Help/Tips*

[jay.es84]

Hey guys, I have a Trident rba coming in and I plan to use .8 Ribbon wire with 2mm kanthal on my build to get subohm coils. I was wondering if any of you guys have tips on how to get the wire through the slots of the Trident since they are too narrow for the .8 wire. If could please help me with this, it would be much appreciated and any pictures or videos (even really short ones) would be very helpful. Thank you in advance to whoever can help me

Boiler, thanks for the response, I've seen that thread but sadly the people responding weren't users of a trident. I was still going to try the methods that were mentioned in that thread, but I just wanted to hear from people who actually have tried the trident/ribbon wire set up. Thanks again for the reply

i would twist the wire legs sideways so that its vertical and it just slides right in.

spunwes, So it still works even though its sideways?

I used an icepick on my V5 clones to open them up. Worked good.

Judging on how it was hitting it seemed to worked fine. I'm running a dual coil and its hitting like a train. Just make sure u screw them on nice and snug.

Lube up the O-Rings with some e-juice and wash it off good first. The O-Rings are good but a Biatch to work with if you don't lube them.

This is exactly what I did and it worked just fine.

Thank you Spunwes and Argeren, saves me time from tinkering and twisting it so much
