Actually you guy's arfe right. Sort of. When the Reuleaux DNA200 first came out(mine) it was much higher quality. Better 510 even though it looks similar to the new one. Well, not quite. The original 510 has a pointed cup at the bottom inside of the mod. The wiring was like twice the gauge of the new one. They most certainly cut quality by being able to now use all the same parts from the RX. However if you remove the bateries from the Triade and push on the 510 with a flat tip screw driver. You will find it hardly has any travel. It is about as bad. The old Reuleaux took almost no pressure to insert the batteries and certainly did not rip them. They do not rattle or fall out though. Shamefully they cut quality. That I will say. The original Reuleaux to the current Triade is similar quality except the battery sled is way easier. I count myself very lucky that I bought it when it came out. Now, I doubt I would enjoy the lack of quality. I lost my battery door and got a red RX one. The new battery door is not nearly the quality of the original either. I checked a new Reuleaux DNA200 and same junk, just a different color.
So you guys are mostly correct. At least now. Please do not say it was never god quality unless you owned it in the first few weeks it came out.
The Triade is impossible for me to use. As it will simply tear the battery wrappers, shorting the fuse as did mine. My Reuleaux is going after a couple of years. The Triade lasted me six days. Plus even if it was not riping the wrappers it is very hard on my fingers. Perhaps mine was an especially bad example. I don't know. It was so tight I almost needed to use a hammer to get the batteries in. Of course I did not do that but you get the idea. Perhaps I will Rma it. I do not wish to waste anymore batteries. It had ripped them after I re-wrapped them as well. Which is when it shorted the fuse. To me, that is junk. Not one that has worked for over two years. I agree it is probably better than the current Reuleaux. I handled one and indeed, it was junk. I gues they just cut way back on quality. I would not call the Triade high quality though. This is all Chinese junk. The old one included i am sure. Let's just be honest with each other. None of these are high quality USA made mods. Or European or Japanese for that matter. They do exist, but not these.
