DaVinci ARTIQ Review – DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is one of my favorite vaping devices today. Whether you talk about its efficient cooling mechanism or the stylish design, it has all the prerequisites that smokers generally demand from a  high-end vaporizer. 

I purchased my DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer for 60 dollars. My expectations were low, especially considering the company has experimented with its basic compatibility. DaVinci Tech has finally shifted its focus from dry herbs to oil cartridges.

After using the device for the first time, I could not resist but smoke it whenever I got a chance. The flavor profile of this device is pretty solid, and the controls are as simple as a 510 battery.

However, you should know that it is not just a 510 battery but a genuine cartridge vaporizer. This article will explain why the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer differs from other ordinary 510 batteries available online.

I’ll delve deeper into my experiences with the ARTIQ and its comparison with other devices, so keep reading for the DaVinci ARTIQ review of this vaping game-changer.

Check Price

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is an entirely different product from the other devices developed by the company. It supports oil cartridge smoking instead of dry herbs. Moreover, DaVinci Tech kept it affordable like any 510 device on the internet. 

It has some incredible features that other 510 oil cartridge batteries lack. The concealed cartridge compartment keeps the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer free of breakage. The sturdy and light aluminum shell is durable for better portability. Moreover, the elongated airpath enhances the flavor by reducing the temperature.

I thoroughly enjoyed using the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer, but there were certain areas where the company could have done well. The warranty period is too short, and the concealed cartridge compartment has no window or gauges to check the remaining oil. Being an old-school DaVinci user, I missed the temperature control.

Despite these shortcomings, the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is a value-adding product for 60 dollars. Give it a try if you are a terpene or CBD oil consumer. Read DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Review.

Compact, stylish, and durable body

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is dynamite enclosed inside a durable and stylish aluminum shell. It is ergonomically designed with a slim body that is flat at the bottom for stability. The mouthpiece area is curved for comfortable placement of lips. 

As a 510 cartridge vaporizer, it is a unique product that conceals the cartridge while you enjoy your smoking sessions. It protects the cartridges from breakage and incidental shattering upon impact. 

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is 90 millimeter tall and 42 millimeter wide. Such a compact size makes it an excellent choice for on-the-go smoking sessions.

Its 24-millimeter slim body is easy to slide inside the pocket. The 150 grams of weight is travel-friendly. You can purchase the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer in black, gray, and blue colors. Read DaVinci IQ2 Review.

1. Mouthpiece
2. Aluminum shell
3. Upper silicon gasket
4. Battery
5. Magnetic collar
6. Lower silicone gasket
7. Lower silicone seal
8. Control button

Convenient cartridge attachment

The cartridge attachment mechanism of the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is easier than the majority of 510 batteries. This device is compatible with 510 oil cartridges. The package contains a couple of magnetic collars (connectors) that you must screw on the cartridge.

Once the collar is fixed firmly, you can attach it to the heat source. The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is a strictly 510 cartridge device. It does not support bigger units. Ensure your cartridge is up to 11.5 mm in diameter and 63 mm in height.

I use it to smoke 1-gram cartridges. However, you can use it with 0.25 and 0.5 grams as well. An important thing to consider while opting for the cartridges is to ensure they are bottom-blown. Read DaVinci IQC Review.

Concealed heating chamber

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer has no heating chamber. The cartridge is placed on a voltage source that helps the oil to heat. The cartridge and the voltage source are entirely concealed for privacy.

It prevents oils from degrading and cartridges from breaking. The ultraviolet rays and physical pressure cannot stop you from vaping. 

Preheat function

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer houses a preheat function that enables you to cook oils at 1.8 volts of mild and flavor-preserving voltage. The preheat mode prepares a batch of vapors in advance. It also helps with cleaning clogs in the vapor path. 

Initiating the preheat mode is easy. Press the power button twice. The device will vibrate, and the indicator will flash a green light six times. The mild but consistent voltage will do its trick. However, you can stop it midway by clicking the power button once. Read DaVinci MIQRO-C Review.

On-demand vapor production

Besides the flavorful preheat mode, the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer can produce on-demand vapors. A batch is prepared within 10 seconds.

The vapor production is ideal for a prompt smoking session when you are at your office. This device allows you to adjust your smoking sessions according to your busy routine. 

Simple but accurate temperature settings

The DaVinci ARTIQ Vaporizer lacks precision controls, which is a disappointing miss. However, 510 cartridge devices are mostly designed to operate at preset temperatures.

It has easy settings where you can opt for three different intensities. Finding a high-end variable voltage device with accurate temperatures is a luxury for 510 cartridge vaporizers. 

Press the power button three times to switch the temperature intensities according to your needs. These intensities are simple to remember and switch. You can opt between the following voltage-based temperature settings:

1. High (red) – 3.6v
2. Medium (yellow) – 3.2v
3. Low (blue) – 2.8v

I preferred the red intensity because I like smoking hot streams of vapors instead of mild ones. However, I recommend selecting the lowest temperature first and then increasing the intensity as and when required. There is little room to improvise, but each setting is prominent in its flavor and temperature variation.

Elongated airpath 

DaVinci Tech did an incredible job integrating the elongated airpath in such a compact device. The elongated airpath helps cool the vapor temperature by 90 percent. It improves the vapor flavor and distinguishes it from ordinary 510 cartridge devices. 

Independent lab tests confirmed that when operated at the same temperature, the vapors produced by the ordinary 510 battery came out at 67 degrees, while the ones produced by the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer were at 28 degrees. This efficient cooling system separates it from the 510 batteries and makes it a genuine vaporizer you can rely on.  

Single button controls and handy features

Operating the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is easy. Pull down the battery case from the aluminum shell. Screw the magnetic connectors at the bottom of the cartridge. Once this is done, carefully attach the magnetic connector to the voltage source.

The LED indicator on the base will flash a green light to confirm the connection. Insert the battery base back inside the aluminum shell. Press the power button five times to turn on the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer.

The blue light will flash three times to indicate the device is ready. Press the power button twice to initiate the preheat mode or select the preset intensities thrice. 

This device has other handy features for more convenience. It vibrates and flashes red light when the battery goes under 10 percent.

You can factory reset the device by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Haptic feedback and draw measurement indicators allow for consistent draws and accurate handling. 

Easy cleaning

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is one of those vaping devices that need regular cleaning. I recommend using pipe clean or cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to clean.

Do not submerge or soak any part in liquid solutions, as most are prone to rust or electric malfunction. Also, refrain from rubbing abrasive material on the body.

Long battery life with indicator

DaVinci Tech has done well when considering the installation of a 760 mAh battery in such a compact device. The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer needs a recharge after 500 draws (on average).

The average draw count is an estimated number that might change depending on the voltage settings. Click the power button once to let the LED indicator show the remaining battery life.

The green light indicates 60 to 100 percent charge, the blue light depicts 30 to 60 percent charge, while the red light means the battery is under 30 percent. The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer flashes a red light and vibrates when the battery is under 10 percent. 

Fast charging and passthrough technology 

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer houses a USB-C charging technology that enables you to refill the battery within 90 minutes. The company claims the charging time is 60 minutes, but my device took nearly 1.5 hours. The charging port is positioned at the bottom for more convenient handling. 

The LED indicator at the base flashes to communicate that the device is still charging. A solid green light indicates that the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is ready. However, you can use it while charging because it is integrated with passthrough technology. It allows you to avoid the waiting game. 

Short warranty period 

I do not like the one-year warranty cover offered by DaVinci Tech. A revolutionary device like the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer should have come with a longer assurance period. A shorter warranty period usually implies that the manufacturing quality is compromised. However, I did not encounter any malfunction in my four-month usage.

Frequently Asked Question

Why is it different from other DaVinci devices?

DaVinci Tech did not drop its manufacturing quality. However, the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer differs in material compatibility. It is a 510 oil cartridge online with other devices tailor-made for dry herb smoking. 

Why is it different from 510 batteries?

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer differs from 510 batteries as the heating system and elongated vapor path produce the most flavorful hits. It is similar to the 510 batteries, like voltage-based heating sources and preset temperature settings. The overall usage is the same, but the results are different.

When was the DaVinci ARTIQ launched?

It was launched in July 2023. The company introduced an efficient cooling vaporizer for hot summer days.

Is the ARTIQ battery replaceable?

While you can remove the battery component from the outer shell, the main battery is internal. You cannot remove or replace it, so I recommend charging it properly because a malfunction can be problematic.

Which cartridges are compatible with the ARTIQ?

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is compatible with all 510 thread cartridges with a diameter of less than 11.5 millimeters and a length of less than 63 millimeters. Moreover, the cartridges should be bottom-blown.

Can I use the ARTIQ with bubblers?

I do not recommend using it with bubbles or bongs. The device does not need water filtration because the elongated path helps maintain the vapor quality. Furthermore, the company does not provide a 10-milliliter adapter, which makes it evident that the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is incompatible with bubblers and bongs.

Final Verdict

The DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is an entirely different product from the other devices developed by the company. It supports oil cartridge smoking instead of dry herbs. Moreover, DaVinci Tech kept it affordable like any 510 device on the internet. 

It has some incredible features that other 510 oil cartridge batteries lack. The concealed cartridge compartment keeps the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer free of breakage. The sturdy and light aluminum shell is durable for better portability. Moreover, the elongated airpath enhances the flavor by reducing the temperature.

I thoroughly enjoyed using the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer, but there were certain areas where the company could have done well. The warranty period is too short, and the concealed cartridge compartment has no window or gauges to check the remaining oil. Being an old-school DaVinci user, I missed the temperature control.

Despite these shortcomings, the DaVinci ARTIQ Cartridge Vaporizer is a value-adding product for 60 dollars. Give it a try if you are a terpene or CBD oil consumer.
