Yeah I also had the same failure on my Triade 250Sā¦ clearly they need to get their shit together and fix this issue.
Whatās it going to take? Someone dying in a triade started fire that burns a house down?
Unrealā¦

No idea. Maybe theyāll fix the design and just keep it quiet. I have no idea how many are currently in circulation. Maybe theyāll scrap the model if sales are poor. Maybe, maybe, maybe. They have a new line of less expensive devices now. Maybe thatās their direction.

Ok, for those possibly interested in the Triade. The problem is solved. The fire button started sticking again and I took it apart to clean it again. This time I looked a little closer and removed a silicone seal that was placed between the switch and the button. Good design actually. Looking it over I noticed it had orientation.
They installed the damn thing backwards, lol. Flipped it around and it is fine. So, I am going to have to correct myself, the design is fine. The assembly was the problem. That would actually explain a lot. Why some get units that display this problem while others do not.
So there we have it. I canāt recommend yea nor nay per purchasing this thing. Just know you might have to take it apart and finish manufacturing it. It isnāt a difficult fix. Remove two screws. The seal is mounted on four small pegs and not glued. Reverse the seal and viola.

Good chance you will get one that is assembled correctly, but it truly is not a difficult fix if it isnāt. You will need a T5 āstarā (probably a better technical term for that somewhere) driver for the two fasteners. Beyond the seal snafu, the unit has been a complete joy. With that 300 watts available, it does a great job in replay of firing up a cold atty giving a warm atty vape. Iām just super happy I found this. I was going to put a small shim on the seal because I assumed (Ya thereās the booboo) that it was glued. When I pulled the seal, there was the raised section that negated the need for a shim. Even with the fire button acting flaky, it has become one of my favorite, maybe favorite, mods.

I have the Paranormal DNA250C and loving itā¦ I was waiting for a 3 Battery 250C mod for the extra battery life. I held out because of the problems with yours. Knowing I can fix it myself is good enuff for me. I have no problem with repairing it if needed. And $126 delivered is a steal IMO. Gearbest has it for $114, but who want to deal with GB and their BSā¦ not me. Itās shipping from NY so I should get by the end of the week.

I noticed the price. That is a great deal! I fully agree with you per gear best. I canāt support their business practices to the point that I refused to do reviews for them.

has anyone ever actually gotten a hold of lost vape. i still have my triade dna200 in pieces in a baggy at home. I live in Toronto Canada and if someone could help get this fixed it would be much appreciated. I really did love this mod thatās the only reason it hasnāt hit the garbage yet.

Have you tried contacting Evolv?
Theyāre really good about warranting their product: the pcb (as long as itās from a legit vendor/manufacturer).
