What I’ve found to be the best way to clean the hydro tube is to empty out as much of the old water as possible, then fill it with rubbing alcohol. Shake and leave it overnight. Dosage Calculation –If you live in a 420 state, you’re getting quality weed that is made to high standards. You also know EXACTLY what you’re vaping. And with the DaVinci IQ2, you can enter a few details about the strain you’re using and calculate your exact dosage per session. If you’re a medicinal marijuana user, this feature will be a godsend as you can have just enough to get the results you’re after and no more. The other nice thing about the DaVinci IQ was how much use time I got for the charge time. With my Pax, it takes about three hours to charge and gives me about 90 minutes of use.

To use it with dry herbs, each dosage pod fits around 0.2gr of dry herbs instead of the 0.5gr that fits into the oven. This makes it perfect as an oven reducer for microdosing. Mouthpiece options 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. The original DaVinci IQ was released late 2016 and it’s been a crowd favorite thanks to its unique features. DaVinci later released the Miqro in July 2018, which is essentially a smaller version of the IQ.

Extend the “Pearl” as needed for smaller loads. You can reduce the size of the oven by 30% and still get great vapor but smaller batches produce wispier hits.

I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical Technology & oversee the quality & safety of all products that we carry The IQC and IQ2 (Carbon and OG) both feature a smartphone app, and you get a five-year warranty with the Davinci IQC vs. a 10-year warranty with the Davinci IQ2. The 10-Year warranty is a nice upgrade when factoring in the price between the Original IQ2/Carbon Model and Davinci IQC. Who is the IQ2 Carbon For? Both the DaVinci IQC and the DaVinci IQ2 feature precise temperature control albeit it’s not fully configurable from either device itself. Instead, both devices allow you to configure the presets to your desired temperature range via a smartphone app although we really didn’t feel the need to as the default temperature ranges that were pre-programmed into both the DaVinci IQC and DaVinci IQ2 felt perfect out of the box.

Our vote easily goes to the DaVinci IQC. The upgrade to a USB Type-C charging port was the biggest deciding factor for us and we feel that it wouldn’t be wrong to assume it’ll be the same for most users. The absence of the adjustable airflow control seems is far from being a deal breaker thanks to the already optimized airflow configuration of the DaVinci IQC and the smaller, more ergonomic form factor perfectly aligns with the stylish aesthetic that DaVinci has crafted over the years. The IQ2 gets vapor right. The vapor cools as it travels through the Flavor Chamber and mouthpiece. Herbal flavors pop, and linger longer than with other conduction vaporizers. Thanks to the design and materials, the IQ2 pumps out some of the most comfortable vapor we’ve come across. This is the vape we grab for potent, gentle sessions. Basic operation between the two largely remains the same. All the physical buttons used to operate the functions of both vaporizers are located on the side. Aside from the power button, there are two navigation buttons used to select your preferred preset or “Smart Path” as DaVinci likes to call it. 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).
