We have seen this once small company grow with the release of the Ascent, which exploded on the vaporizer scene in 2013\/2014 to rave reviews. The DaVinci IQ is the third installment of Da Vinci&#8217;s growing vaporizer line and features a ceramic heating chamber and a zirconia vapor path which helps\u00a0provide powerful, smooth vapor with each draw and a bluetooth app to increase functionality and performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editors Note:<\/strong>\u00a0For those looking for a vaporizer that has the portability of the DaVinci IQ but that the powerful vapor of the Mighty, be sure to check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/zeus-arc-gt3.html\">Zeus Arc GTS Hub<\/a>, a high-powered portable vaporizer that puts powerful draws in the palm of your hand.

For best results we recommend filling the chamber with\u00a0cannabis packed down into place. Then swing the door closed and you are ready to start vaping.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways you can use the DaVinci IQ, one is direct interaction with the device, the other is using a Bluetooth connection with your phone and the DaVinci IQ app.<\/p>\n<p>When using the device without the app, press the power button on the side of the device 5 times to turn it on. The device will start up in &#8220;Smart Path&#8221; mode, which allows you to set a temperature range to vape at. When a smart path is selected it starts at the low end of the temperature range and then slowly increases to the top end of the temperature range. So smart path 4 for example starts at 205C and then works it was up to 220C over the course of a 10 minute session. This is great for those who likes to increase temperature throughout the session by adding automation and removing the constant interaction with the device. These smart paths can be customized with the IQ app for a more fine tuned session.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not wish to use smart paths simply press the power button once to enter into &#8220;Temperature Control&#8221; mode. In this mode the vaporizer operates like any other precise temperature control unit allowing you to set your temperature down to the individual degree using the up and down buttons on the side of the device.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7498 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot1.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer flat display\" width=\"700\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot1-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot1-325x156.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are more of a techy you can use the IQ with the Da Vinci IQ app which can be downloaded from iTunes or Google Play. This app actually allows you to turn the IQ on and off with your phone, which is a pretty unique feature and a first for the vaporizer industry! The app also allows you to set your temperature like you would on your device and customize your own smart paths as previously mentioned. The app also tracks your usage allowing you to see how you interact with your device during a session. What is also neat about the app is that like the <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/firefly-2-plus-vaporizer.html\">Firefly 2<\/a>, it will allow you to update the software in the unit as patches come out allowing the manufacturer to address glitches and issues on the fly. We love the ability to control the IQ multiple ways adding in-depth customization to your vapor session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\u00a0<div class=\"column one-1\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-temperature-flexibility.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6443\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7361 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-temperature-flexibility-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer power control\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Temperature Flexibility<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As mentioned in the section above, there are multiple ways to set your temperature with the IQ to achieve your \u201cperfect session\u201d. The IQ has a maximum temperature of 222C which is more than enough for vaporizing cannabis. You can choose to use the IQ\u2019s smart paths which slowly increase the temperature of the unit within a certain temperature range. This can be modified to your own preference using the app, which is really awesome for people who enjoy vapor stepping, which you can read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/what-are-best-temperature-settings-for-vaping\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also use the unit as a standard vaporizer where you set the temperature yourself. This is great for people who have already experimented with vapor temperatures and have found their own sweet spot in which they prefer to vape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The unit also features a boost mode, which is engaged by pressing and holding the power button. When the boost mode is engaged the temperature rapidly increases to its highest temperature. This is great for those who want to get every last bit from their cannabis at the end of their session.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We love having the option of using both the smart paths and precise control, it adds a lot of customization to your sessions and we found it fun to switch between the two. It makes it feel like you own two completely different units. However, some users could easily feel overwhelmed by these many options. They usually prefer units with preset temperatures like the <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/zeus-arc-gt.html\">Zeus Arc GTS Hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div> <div class=\"column one-1\">\n<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-vapor-quality.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6441\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7362 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-vapor-quality-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer mouth piece\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vapor Quality<\/span><\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The DaVinci IQ is the first vaporizer to feature an all ceramic vapor path to maximize flavour unlike the <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/arizer-air-max.html\">Arizer Air 2<\/a> whose vapor pathway is glass stems. Although the glass pathway enhances the flavour, it is extremely fragile. You will need a <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/zeus-armor-hard-case.html\">zeus-armor hard case<\/a> for such a device for protection. Nevertheless, Davinci&#8217;s all ceramic vapor is another first for the vaporizer industry and we are happy to report that both vapor production and flavour from this unit are outstanding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At lower temperatures draws and smooth and full of flavour, for a conduction vaporizer the flavour we got off this unit was impressive and almost on par with a convection unit, almost. At higher temperatures you get nicer vapor production and decent flavour, however flavour diminished much more quickly on higher temperatures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 702px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-7500-1\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DaVinci-IQ-vapor-Shot.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DaVinci-IQ-vapor-Shot.mp4\">https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DaVinci-IQ-vapor-Shot.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot4-e1480521954243.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7513 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot4-e1480521954243.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer detached\" width=\"700\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot4-e1480521954243.jpg 700w, https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot4-e1480521954243-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vapor is always cool because of the design of the air path and we never experienced any hot hits, this device really does draw like a pencil. The smart paths is a really nice way to enjoy your vapor, starting draws are full of flavour and then draws become stronger as the temperature slowly increases. This is a great way to experience all the subtle flavours of your cannabis as you increase the temperature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We found for best vapor production to pack your cannabis fairly tightly in the chamber. Not so tight that you restrict your airflow, but tight enough that cannabis won\u2019t fly around in the chamber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"column one-1\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-manufacturing-quality.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6438\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7363 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-manufacturing-quality-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer front display\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Manufacturing Quality<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>The manufacturing quality of the IQ is a huge step up from the Ascent. The Ascent is in no way a bad device, but its glass vapor path and swing-hinge door made the unit fragile and had to be handled with care. The IQ does away with the all glass vapor path introducing ceramic zirconia, one of the most robust forms of ceramic available. This means you don\u2019t have to worry about the air path being damaged like you do in the Ascent if the device is handled roughly, which is much better than buying costly glass replacements.<\/p>\n<p>The IQ has doors on the top of the unit and bottom which swing open to access the heating chamber, vapor path and mouthpiece. These doors are the only real weakness of the IQ as we fear the hinges won\u2019t survive a drop and could cause issues. While you should always be careful with your vaporizer, mistakes happen and we would hate to see a vaporizer be rendered useless from a drop.<\/p>\n<p>On the door, where the heating chamber is located DaVinci has installed a ceramic zirconia \u201cpearl\u201d which helps reflect heat to the bottom of your cannabis, where they normally wouldn\u2019t be cooked. We were skeptical at first that this would have any impact, but it actually did work to provide a much more even cook to our cannabis. We will note though that the ball appears to be weakly attached and we have heard of several user reports where the ball actually snapped off and no longer could be used. Some users that want their cannabis to be evenly cooked for maximum extraction often prefer units with convection heating style such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/utillian-722-vaporizer.html\">Utillian 722 vaporizer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7514 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot3.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer heating chamber\" width=\"700\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot3-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-shot3-325x156.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The display of the IQ features a 51 light grid display and while it looks very flashy from afar, but we did find it a bit hard to read, especially depending on viewing angle and lighting. We preferred the display on the \u201cstealth mode\u201d setting which you can access by simultaneously pressing the power button and down arrow. This dims the display and made it a little easier on the eyes to read the display.<\/p>\n<p>The size of the unit is also significantly smaller than the Ascent and features a removable <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/battery-davinci-iq.html\">18650 battery<\/a> which we&#8217;ve seen in units like the Arizer Air. The removable battery is a welcome addition and greatly improves the lifespan of your unit. The battery is usually the first thing to fail on a vaporizer, so having the option to replace it for a new ones means you will be able to use this device for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>It is also backed with a huge 10 year warranty from DaVinci which is one of the longest in the business. However we have heard reports from early adopters of the Da Vinci who had to deal with warrantying their device that Da Vinci&#8217;s customer service is a bit lacking, leading to long wait times to get their devices replaced. <\/div><div class=\"column one-1\">\n<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-battery-life.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6435\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7364 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-battery-life-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer battery\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Battery Life<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is actually one section where the IQ seemed to under perform. The included 18650 is a bit on the weak side when it comes to battery life. In our time with the IQ we found we could only really get 2 sessions in before the device died. This is less than ideal and is even worse than both the Arizer Air (which also uses a removable 18650) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/crafty-plus-vaporizer.html\">Crafty+<\/a> which are known to have weak batteries. We also found that the battery indicator was not the most accurate, when plugged in the unit would show a full charge but when we unplugged the unit and turned it on, a notch was already gone from the battery and it hadn&#8217;t even been used.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This would not be so bad if the unit did not take so long to charge the battery, which we found takes roughly an hour and a half to 2 hours to fully charge once dead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We also found that the battery indicator was not the most accurate, when plugged in the unit would show a full charge but when we unplugged the unit and turned it on, a notch was already gone from the battery and it hadn&#8217;t even been used.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We really\u00a0wish DaVinci included a second battery just to boost the devices overall battery performance, similar to the Firefly 2, because right now the included battery just doesn&#8217;t cut it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-portability.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7365 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/torontovaporizer.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/davinci-IQ-vaporizer-portability-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci IQ vaporizer in bag\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Portability<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>As we briefly touched upon, this device is much smaller than the Ascent, standing only 3.5 inches tall, 1.65 inches wide and just less than an inch deep.
