DaVinci IQC

The IQC vaporizer is DaVinci' newest innovation, and the latest member of their flagship line of devices: the IQ portable vaporizers. DaVinci is known for thoughtful design, meticulous engineering and innovative technology, and it shows in the IQ line.

DaVinci Vapes - The IQ line

Since the original IQ vaporizer, DaVinci has been using an airtight vapour path made from zirconia ceramic and glass. This enhances the terpene flavours of your material without any metallic or plastic taste. Ceramic and glass are much more transparent than stainless steel when it comes to flavour.

The zirconia flavour chamber even allows you to boost flavours by adding extra herbs. The zirconia pearl lets you experience pure and precise draws no matter the amount of material used. Simply twist the pearl to reduce or increase chamber capacity.

The rechargeable 18650 battery will run for 2 hours. It can easily be swapped out with a spare battery, to enjoy longer sessions without needing to recharge. Finally, IQ vaporizers feature full temperature control and a Smart Path mode for a user-friendly, guided experience. Smart Paths are temperature settings that evolve over a set period of time, taking full advantage of your material's terpene profile.

A new take on the DaVinci IQ2

The IQC vaporizer has fewer features than the IQ2, but for the price difference, you might say it's a good trade. Though you cannot adjust the airflow of the IQC, it still has been improved since the first IQ. The draw resistance is similar to the IQ2 with the airflow dial set on ""2"". The 10-year limited warranty has been replaced by a 5-year warranty, still more than twice the industry average.

All IQ2 accessories are compatible with the IQC (except for the silicone glove). You can easily turn the IQC into a concentrate vaporizer with the dosage pods and extract refill kit.

The IQC is also fully compatible with the DaVinci app. You can customise the Smart Paths settings to your convenience, access FAQs and walk-through support, and a lot more.

New Features

The DaVinci IQC dual-use vaporizer may lack previous features brought by the IQ2, but it also introduces new ones. One of the main new features is the patented Sharesafe™ mouthpiece made from an FDA-approved antimicrobial polymer. This inhibits the growth of bacteria and viruses on the mouthpiece, making it a more sanitary vaping device.

The second most notable improvement since the DaVinci IQ vaporizer is the USB-C charging port, allowing for fast charging. It reduces the full charging time of the 18650 battery from 6 hours to about 2 hours.

The IQC also features reverse charging capability, allowing you to charge your phone on the go if you're out of juice. The overall engineering of the IQC has also been improved compared to previous models, offering a faster heat-up time.

Both cover hinges are more durable, and the mouthpiece magnet is bigger and stronger. The housing is made from sandblasted aluminium, and all units are tested for heavy metals.

How to use:

1. Open the IQC's bottom lid to reveal the glass-lined ceramic oven
2. Pack ground herbs tightly for maximum vapour (or insert a loaded extract pod). Close the bottom lid to allow the pearl to firmly pack the herb
3. Click the control button five times to turn the device on
4. Adjust the temperature up and down with the navigation buttons. Choose from the four preset ranges called “Smart Paths”* or switch to precise temperature control by pressing the control button
5. The IQC will vibrate when the target temperature is reached
6. To turn off the device, click the control button five times again

*(Note: the IQC is programmed to start in Smart Path 3 (200-210 °C))

If you're looking for a clean vaporizer offering pure flavours from your material, the IQC is a very good bet. The glass and ceramic air path and the Smart Path technology help the flavours of your herbs and concentrates to flourish.

The removable 18650 battery may not offer the battery life of a Storz & Bickel device, but it is replaceable. Having a spare battery on hand can also significantly extend your sessions.

The IQC competes with other very good portable dry herb vaporizers, and becomes dual-use with the extract kit.
