Hmmm, tricky. I don’t think there is any helium in the mix, I think it’s hydrogen and oxygen (as they are combustable i.e. can be burned, helium isn’t). It’s usually used in a ratio of 6:1 hydrogen to oxygen, and is usually stored in liquid form as it takes up less space.
I know that you need a 2/3 to 1/3 hydrogen/oxygen mix to get the biggest explosion (though I might have the ratio the wrong way round) but that’s the extent of my knowledge on this one, sorry!
