Presenting the DaVinci IQ Vaporizer.\u00a0 The Vaporizer with an interchangeable 18650 battery!\u00a0 If you don\u2019t know what a 18650 battery is\u2026 Well, it\u2019s just the most popular battery<\/strong> size on the vape market.\u00a0 An 18650 holds around 3500mAh which is a ton of battery life, needless to say, you can carry around as many backup batteries that can fit in your pocket.\u00a0 Hold on, I\u2019m getting way ahead of myself.\u00a0 Queue the intro:<\/p>\n Many people seek out the DaVinci IQ Vaporizer because of its aesthetics, features, and solid construction. DaVinci is one of the leading brands in the field of portable vaporizers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at what we received for this review and then tell you what we think of the DaVinci IQ.<\/p>\n Disclosure:<\/strong> This product has been provided for free for the purpose of review.<\/em><\/p>\n As Usual, the device was packaged and shipped very quickly straight from DaVinci.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check Deal<\/a><\/p>\n Free IQ Glove<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Inside the neatly organized box with the magnetic door, we found the following goodies.<\/p>\n The package included everything that one would need in order to vaporize some herb and care for the device in between sessions.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at the IQ design and features.<\/p>\n In terms of design, DaVinci did a very good job making sure all of the components fit seamlessly together.\u00a0 The DaVinci IQ is smaller than its predecessor and its curved edges make it very comfortable in the hand. \u00a0It feels nice and heavy and has a strong body made of anodized aluminum. But the best part is the LED display that DaVinci has devised for the IQ.<\/p>\n The LED display of the DaVinci IQ is very original.\u00a0 Where many other portable vaporizers use an LCD screen, the DaVinci IQ Vaporizer tells you everything you need to know while using a truly unique and cool LED display.<\/p>\n There are 51 Clear LED diodes of the front face that indicate the temperature at which you are vaporizing. \u00a0Along with the status of the battery and which of the four Smart Paths you\u2019re currently utilizing.<\/p>\n You can easily switch to degree mode by tapping on the top button.\u00a0 The up and down buttons located just below will allow you to switch the smart path modes or change the temperature in degree mode.<\/p>\n If you need a little extra boost you can also hold down the top button while vaping to gradually increase the temperature to the maximum.<\/p>\n The DaVinci IQ uses zirconia ceramics. \u00a0Zirconia ceramic is heat resistant and stronger than the glass used in many other vaporizers.<\/p>\n The great advantage of the material is that it is totally odorless and tasteless and therefore provides a great taste. The interchangeable mouthpieces and adjustable packing pearl of the IQ are both made of this material.\u00a0 This means that no matter how hot the chamber gets your lips will always stay cool.<\/p>\n The most important zirconia part of the IQ is undoubtedly the air path or Flavor Chamber as DaVinci calls it. This flavor chamber is located on the top portion of the IQ, directly below the mouthpiece.\u00a0 Flipping back the magnetic door on the top gives you easy access to removing and cleaning it.<\/p>\n The Flavor chamber has a top cap which is held in by a silicone O-ring and removable.\u00a0 The flavor chamber does not vaporize dry herb but the herb may be placed inside to help increase the overall flavor of the vape experience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you place dry herb inside the flavor chamber the hot vapor passes the herbs. The vapor is not hot enough to evaporate these herbs, but warm enough to extract additional flavor.<\/p>\n We first tried the Flavor Chamber with dry herb, which ensured that the session was much tastier than usual. Fresh flavor mixed with vapor, it was like a double shot of the herb goodness.<\/p>\n Flavor Chamber accentuated the lavender and peppermint herb that we used. \u00a0It turned vaporizing experience into a form of aromatherapy. A wonderful innovation, not only for the taste but also because of the medicinal effects of lavender which is meant to calm the mind.<\/p>\n Inside the top portion of the vaporizer is also find a handy removable metallic pick to stir or empty the evaporator after use. The Flavor Chamber connects directly to the vaporizer’s herb chamber that is accessible from the bottom door of the DaVinci IQ Vaporizer.<\/p>\n Filling the chamber is easy and fast because the dry herb chamber is surrounded by a kind of shiny slide for directing extraneous herb directly down in to the white-walled chamber.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a convection vaporizer, so it is fairly important to grind the dry herbs or make them smaller before filling it. \u00a0To fill, you simply open the lid on the bottom, drop the dry herb and let it slide into the chamber.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The pearl you see above is also made from zirconia ceramics.\u00a0 It is fully adjustable and helps compress the dry herb.\u00a0 For smaller sessions, you can unscrew the pearl about a centimeter to shorten the height of the chamber. \u00a0When you close the lid of the DaVinci IQ Vaporizer the pearl reflects the heat back into the herb chamber for even convection heating.<\/p>\n If you are a vaporizer enthusiast, then you probably know what temperatures will produce the best taste from your dry herb. The best temperature for the lavender and peppermint herbs that we tried was the first smart path setting.<\/p>\n The temperature seems very accurate and can be set to the degree accurately in Celsius and Fahrenheit.\u00a0 Each Smart Path setting has a range of 20 degrees and gradually rises until it reaches the max temperature for the corresponding Smart Path setting.<\/p>\n You have the option to use one of four built-in Smart Paths. In that case, the IQ starts to vaporize at a low temperature and automatically increases it in steps over a period of 10 minutes.<\/p>\n The DaVinci IQ Vaporizer is equipped with a ceramic dry herb chamber which is located at the bottom of the vaporizer. It takes a little longer for dry herb chambers with the ceramic to reach the desired temperature, but it is barely noticeable and the taste is much cleaner.<\/p>\n To turn on the Vaporizer just click the top button 5 times.\u00a0 The LED display shows you the rising temperature during the warm-up, but you do not have to keep an eye on that, the IQ automatically gives you the signal.\u00a0 It takes about 30-40 seconds for the IQ Vaporizer to reach temperature, less for lower temps. Once the temperature is reached the vaporizer vibrates once and the LEDs stop blinking.<\/p>\n So a fairly long warm-up time, but 30-40 seconds is nothing when you can vape for one to one in a half hours. We have not had to deal with an empty battery in any case, and the taste is phenomenal.\u00a0 \u00a0When it comes to taste vs. heating time, the taste will always win. The charging of the DiVinci IQ Vaporizer is indeed fairly fast and takes a maximum of 3 hours when your battery needs to be fully charged.<\/p>\n When you download and install the DaVinci App you can overwrite one or more of the preset Smart Paths with your own temperature settings and even monitor your session. A graph on your phone shows how the temperature cools down after a fetch so that you know exactly how long your session lasted.<\/p>\n With the smartphone app, you can set Smart Paths yourself and keep track of sessions.<\/p>\n We have of course downloaded and tried the app. The mobile phone and the DaVinci IQ Vaporizer connect without any problems. Setting the temperature or a Smart Path was a bit tricky to figure out, but very manageable for anyone. Personally, we find the smartphone app a nice addition, but it feels a bit more excessive then needed for simple vaping. \u00a0It\u2019s definitely a personal preference, but luckily the app is not necessary and you can use all functions of the IQ without the Bluetooth app.<\/p>\n Vaporizing is a wonderful experience with the DaVinci IQ. We often even chose this portable vaporizer over our much more expensive devices because it is simply perfect in terms of taste and ease of use. It is a convection vaporizer, which means that the dry herb is vaporized by hot air. Convection vaporizers are known for their great taste and the same goes for the IQ and its smaller version the DaVinci MIQRO<\/a> Vaporizer.<\/p>\n You have the choice of two different mouthpieces, but we have mainly used the nozzle mouthpiece because the IQ just looks even better. Inhaling with this mouthpiece feels like you are using an E-Cig, and was so recognizable to us.<\/p>\n DaVinci has placed itself again at the top of the ladder in the vaporizer industry. The IQ is really a very good vaporizer for herbs. They clearly chose to make a top-quality vaporizer for dry herbs instead of adding a moderately effective buy-me product.<\/p>\n $ 274 –\u00a0<\/strong>Buy Now<\/a> – Full Set + Free IQ Glove<\/strong><\/p>\nIQ Vaporizer Box Contents<\/h3>\n
