With the DaVinci IQ2, you can use the phone app, of course, but it isn’t essential –it’s just there for those that like that kind of thing. Me personally, I’ll take the physical controls any day of the week (and twice and on a Sunday). Should You Buy The DaVinci IQ2? Since these two units (OG IQ2 and IQ2 Carbon) are so similar, this Davinci IQ2 Carbon review will be more of a summary of the differences between the OG IQ2 and the new IQ2 Carbon with some info about the IQC sprinkled in. You can read more about the Original IQ2 in my Davinci IQ2 Review. When it comes to heat-up times, the DaVinci IQ2 is not as fast as the PAX 3 –or many of the top vaporizers on the market right now. From dead, it will heat-up to its maximum temperature of 390F inside a minute. Running it at lower temperatures? It’ll do it in around 45 seconds. Is this bad? No, not really –I mean, it’s 60 seconds. That’s not a long time, although the PAX 3 will do the same in 30 seconds. For flavor, for design and functionality, and for performance it is a superior device that now feels like an essential piece of kit for anyone that takes their vaporizing technology seriously. The battery lasts for around one hour of continuous use, which is not bad at all. But when using the micro USB port that’s on the device to charge the battery while inside the device, it takes 6 hours to reach a full charge. An external charger can reduce the charge time to three hours, which we’ll cover in a bit. Optional Accessories

As you can see, the DaVinci IQ2 keep its most important element in play; the ability to remove the battery. The DaVinci IQ2 is powered by a single 3000mAh 18650 battery, the very same style of battery you use in your vape mods. This means you basically never have to worry about battery life or the internal battery degrading over time. Just replace the battery and the DaVinci IQ2 will function as good as new –for years to come.

Davinci IQ2 Review: Comfy vapor

The biggest difference on the IQC is that it does USB-C charging, hence the C. It doesn’t monitor dosages or have adjustable airflow, but it charges up a lot faster! The vapor chambers are identical on both, but the cap on the IQC’s chamber is made of silicon versus ceramic on the IQ2. The included mouthpieces are silicon, but the ceramic options are available separately. The magnets on the door of the IQC are a little stronger and feel more secure when you close it. The IQ2’s 18650 lithium-ion battery may burn if mistreated. To avoid explosion, fire, serious injury, environmental harm, short-circuits or malfunctions, follow these guidelines: By purchasing Products, you indemnify us (and our directors, employees and agents) (“ Indemnified”) against all claims, demands, proceedings and other liability arising wholly or partially, directly or indirectly, from the Products. Take note that neither of these two vaporizers require the app to operate and both work perfectly fine without having to use the app to make any changes. Another notable difference here is that the DaVinci IQC does a slightly better job at insulating the heat from inside the vaporizer thanks to a change in the heating chamber (previously zirconia with the DaVinci IQ2) to a high temperature silicon. The Phone App –Like PAX, DaVinci has a phone app. Only this time around it’s A LOT better than the previous version which launched alongside the original DaVinci IQ. Inside the app, you can control all aspects of the device, as well as calculate the dose of each bowl which brings me to my next point…

Improvements like the new air flow adjustment, luxury additions like the app, and chic aesthetic updates make this a worthwhile investment. It even comes with a 10 year warranty, so you'll have nothing to regret. And the battery life is killer too. You have the ability to swap out its 18650 for a freshly charged unit, so you never have to have any downtime. As you can probably tell, I really like the DaVinci IQ2. Coming from the PAX 3, I didn’t think the DaVinci IQ2 would have what it takes to beat out PAX’s ultra-popular and similar-priced vaporizer. But it did. And it achieved this a few key areas:

New dosing control feature

At launch, dosage control wasn’t available for the Android smartphone app (Apple has banned vape apps from their store), but should be available on both platforms in March. The on-board controls were easy and intuitive to use. App status If you don’t have a grinder or don’t want to use one, try loading whole flowers. The hits start out weaker, but are more flavorful! relationship between you and us under any agreement arising from these Conditions does not form a joint venture or partnership. The DaVinci IQ2 is a product of palpable quality that you can see, feel, and taste. Great for first time users as well as super stoners, it can be as simple or as complicated a device as you want it to be. The basic functions of its flower vaping mechanisms are just as impressive as its high tech capabilities.
