c) you will not use the Products for any unlawful or unintended purpose, including but not limited to the consumption of tobacco / nicotine products or any illegal substances. Sometimes you want to turn those bright and vibrant LED lights down on your vaporizer so we made sure to have stealth mode for those interested in a more subtle display on their IQ2. Bottom line? I used to be a PAX 3 fanboy but the DaVinci IQ2 has now taken over as my go-to portable weed vaporizer.

Often times it can take a long time to gather all the proper accessories to really maximize the potential of a dry herb vaporizer. It can also be pricey when buying individual items. DaVinci is no stranger to vaporizer smartphone apps, having released one of the industry’s first with the IQ in 2016. Apple threw them a curve ball just before the release of the IQ2, by banning all vaporizer apps from the Apple store in November. The good news is DaVinci had enough time to add the dosing control feature to the IQ2’s on-board controls. The bad news is we won’t see an updated smartphone app that can take advantage of the new features until March, on Apple or Android. Currently, the IQ2 can connect to the old version of the app, but we found it a little buggy. Specs

Final thoughts

To activate the "Boost" mode, hold down the round button on your IQ2 and watch the temperature rise to the highest temperature. This feature can be performed at any time during any heat mode. The upgrades or differences with the new Davinci IQ2 Carbon include a carbon fiber exterior, which helps keep the unit cooler, especially during longer or group sessions, and a new USB-C charging system. However, if you have mobility issues with your hands, filling and inserting the capsules might be more hassle than it’s worth. There’s also a “pearl” in the oven that needs to be adjusted to hold the capsules properly.

One of the major highlights between these two vaporizers is the ability to use replaceable 18650 batteries on the fly when needed. Not only does it eliminate the need to bring a charger along when taking either vaporizer outdoors, but it means that you can use the DaVinci IQC or IQ2 for years and just easily replace the old battery as it wears out over time which is usually the case for most portable vaporizers. We may assign, novate or otherwise transfer any of our rights or obligations under any contract arising from these Conditions to a third party without notice to you, or your prior consent. Adjust temperature up and down by using the navigation buttons between four temperature preset ranges called “Smart Paths” technology, *IQ2 is programmed to start in Smart Path 3 (390-410 degrees). 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: First and foremost, and despite having access to plenty of other vaporizers, the Davinci IQ2 is still my go-to vaporizer right now. I have about 10 portable vaporizers in my home, including the PAX 3 and the Firefly 2, and the Davinci IQ2 is the one I always turn to without fail every Friday evening.

Heat up time

Both mouthpieces are made from Zirconia, which is an advanced, pure material that has similar properties to Ceramic. 18650 Battery Releasing the Control button activates the "Cooldown" mode. This mode turns the power off to the oven and will gradually bring the IQ2 down to room temperature.

The flavor, as always is great, but because you now adjust the airflow (it’s located on the bottom), you can seriously dial-in how this device vapes – from open and swooshy to tight and focussed. 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.

Quality build

Once connected, the battery level will be displayed. When the battery level shows fully charged, you can disconnect the charging cable. As noted earlier, when it comes to battery life (and longevity), the DaVinci IQ2 is perhaps the best option on the market right now. Not only does it come with a rechargeable 3000mAh 18650 battery, but you can also use your existing vape mod batteries in it, so if you have a battery charger (I use this one), you can effectively hot-swap batteries and extend your vaping sessions indefinitely. You cannot do this with the PAX 3 or the Firefly 2, or any other weed vaporizer at this price point or size.
