Why The DaVinci IQ Vaporizer Should Be Your Next Purchase
The DaVinci IQ represents a shift within the portable vaporizer market. No longer are consumers satisfied with power alone, they also want intelligent, discrete, and intuitive devices. The DaVinci IQ ticks all of these boxes.
- The “Precise Mode” setting is the most basic way to use the DaVinci IQ. It allows input of a temperature with no added features.
- The DaVinci IQ offers four preset “Smart Paths”. These settings, or heating profiles, are custom DaVinci presets that heat up gradually over a 10-minute session. Using the DaVinci app allows full customization of your own “Smart Path” characteristics.
- “Boost Mode” is ideal for those who are short on time. This mode boosts the DaVinci IQ to its maximum temperature while inhaling, a perfect way to vape quickly.
With the IQ, DaVinci has set out to construct a market-leading dried herb portable vaporizer. This means no concentrates feature. As a result, the IQ vaporizer is focused on doing one function at a very high level. The portability of the Davinci IQ is another feature that allows for easy transportation.
Although there may be a learning curve for some to get the most out of their DaVinci IQ, this vaporizer performs exceptionally well. Flavourful vapor from the IQ vaporizer is one aspect that sets it aside from its contemporaries. The IQ vaporizer takes approximately 180 minutes to charge from a dead battery, but it is usable while charging. As with most conduction vaporizers, long and slow draws reign supreme.
To conclude, The Davinci IQ meets all expectations for the price. A very similar unit to the high-end Pax 3, this vape holds its weight as an ultra-elite unit. Also, major media outlets are not the only ones praising the IQ portable vaporizer. Others such as Business Matters, PC Mag, and even men’s style magazine GQ also recommend this portable vaporizer.
How To Clean The DaVinci IQ
This portable vaporizer is especially simple to clean and manage. Cleaning is an extremely important part of vaporizer ownership.
After every session with the DaVinci IQ, empty the oven thoroughly and use the included cleaning brush. A quick swish around the oven after each session will ensure efficient sessions. The cleaning wipes, also included, will wipe any residue off the ceramic pearl and mouthpiece.
For deeper cleans, isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip work well within the oven. Remove the flavour chamber from the vaporizer and clean with isopropyl alcohol. Below the flavour chamber resides a silicone gasket. This area can accumulate debris over a long period of time. Using the DaVinci cleaning brush as well as the q-tip/isopropyl combo is highly recommended.
Upkeep of the DaVinci IQ portable vaporizer is markedly important to enjoying amazing, flavourful vapor every single time.

It’s dam good. Like everyone has been saying, the App is hit and miss- I’m just using the built in smart paths. Start on smart path 2 and then up to 3 works really nicely for me. It heats up fast, both mouth pieces are good, super stealthy- I guess my only gripe is that the herb chamber is pretty big, so it’s a bit herb hungry, that’s why I give 4 stars. Better than the crafty.

Vapes well dont get me wrong. But when I tried to use the app with it, it malfunctioned and just got super hot to where it litterally burned the flowers in it to charcoal. :/

The Davinci IQ is everything we thought it would be. It has a fast heat up time and a vibration let’s you know when it’s ready to hit. City Vaporizer was easy to buy through, and delivered on time. We payed 5$ to receive it in 3 days. Grinder and the stash case was very cool and both were good quality. Would definitely recommend the Davinci

My Vape came in within a few days after ordering. I love it. It came with a free 4pc grinder and some other free goodies. My whole experience was great. No complaints. Would buy from these guys again.

Been using the DAVINCI IQ for the last 2 months and I’m impressed! I don’t typically enjoy portable flower vapes but this one is simple to load, effective, and makes for an extremely flavorful rip. I love that it fits in the palm of my hand and the bowl design makes it just like loading a pipe when you’re on the go. I like the Boost feature too, because it allows me to add a little heat when I’m looking for thicker vapor. Anyone who is really interested in dialing in the IQ will dig the smartphone app too.
