The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer is a limited edition product that every vaper wants to purchase. It might feel like a waste of money if you never purchased a DaVinci Tech product before. The high-end price tag must be justified by the features that the device has.
In this article, I will share my personal experience while unboxing the device and explain whether the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer provides sufficient value for your hard-earned money. Being a limited-edition device, we should consider exercising lenience in assessing the monetary value of its features.
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer came in a premium box that had a decent and minimalistic interior when I opened it. The box contained nothing but a shiny IQ2 Carbon lying in the middle. The company has done a great job of ensuring that the device receives all the attention.
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer has the same buttons and LED grids as the previous models. However, the Carbon Fiber body felt premium and it weighed lighter than the original IQ2. The compartments contain the following accessories:
A dosage grinder
A hydrotube
6 stainless steel pods
A ceramic extract tab
A dosage pod holder
A flat mouthpiece
A charging cable
A collectors’ keychain
Pros
Premium 3k weave carbon fiber outer
Lightweight and ergonomic for portable use
Production of crystal-clear vapors due to isolated and premium components
Sufficient chamber space to accommodate frequent users
Air dial to control the vapor density
Easy-to-use LED grid and 3-button technology
Mobile app compatibility for convenience
Cons
Insufficient battery life that gradually falls below an hour
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer is a very solid device made from 3k weave carbon fibers. It is heat-resistant and shatter-free, so you can hold it without hurting yourself. Upon opening the bottom and upper lids, every internal component was well protected as the interior of the vaporizer is made of aluminum. The chamber had the vintage adjustable pearl to ensure a leveled press and even heating.
The portability is not sacrificed as the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer is 0.97 inches slim and 3.61 inches long. It fit perfectly inside my palm while you hold it to smoke your lungs out. Moreover, the smooth carbon fiber touch felt premium and comfortable for a long vaping session.
Vaping Performance
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon is a delight to use for the flavor chasers. The glass vapor path is one of the main reasons that the flavor never impairs. I felt every sip of vapors evenly and accurately heated. The device has a heating element that cooks dry herbs using conduction technology. The first batch of warm and aromatic vapors was prepared within 30 seconds.
I loved packing the 0.5 grams of herb inside the heating chamber and adjusting the pearl to make sure that everything was perfectly packed. The vapor density is adjustable as the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer has the old-school DaVinci Air Dial at the bottom to increase or decrease the airflow.
The airflow control helps tailor the vaping session as per the user’s requirements, but the temperature settings are the real deal. The original IQ2 Vaporizer had one of the best heating systems which I am glad that the company has retained in this device. The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer allows selecting any temperature intensity between 0 and 221 degrees Celsius. The mobile app controllability also felt convenient to use with all the necessary data.
Battery Life and Charging
The battery life of the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer is not something that would impress vapers demanding a marathon session. The battery lasted nearly an hour when I used the device after the first complete charging cycle.
The only good thing about its 18650 battery is that it is removable and replaceable. You can carry an extra set in your pocket while traveling and recharge the batteries externally. The internal charging time of the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer was 2 to 3 hours, which was half of what the original model had.
Ease Of Use
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer has fairly simple physical controls. The device had a power button which was accompanied by the up and down controls to toggle the temperature settings. The LED grid was prominent as it occupied the face of the device and helped check the temperature intensity in the dark. These features were also identical to other DaVinci devices.
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer also has a mobile app and a web portal that is compatible with both Android and iOS. The app helped me set precise temperature intensities and toggle the smart temperature setting modes. The dosage tracking feature is still one of my favorite ones. However, I feel that the mobile app and smart temperature settings have a steep learning curve that a non-DaVinci user might have trouble adjusting.
Safety Features
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer is heavy metal tested to make sure that all the parts are sturdy enough to survive intense physical use. The device has no loose parts, so a hot spark will never sneak through the chamber or mouthpiece. Moreover, DaVinci Tech provides a 10-year warranty to cover manufacturing defects and underperformance.
Customization Options
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer came with the stainless steel dosage pods which is a convenient accessory to help load the device without creating a mess. It did not feel that relevant while I used it on my desk but I would surely feel value-adding for the travelers.
The hydrotube and dosage grinder were a welcome member of the purchase since I needed a portable grinder to carry while I traveled. The hydrotube filtered the vapors and cooled them further to enhance the overall flavor.
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer had no adaptor to help attach the device to a bong. However, the hydrotube made sure that I did not miss the 18mm adaptor. Despite this absence, the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer is compatible with the adaptor if you already have one in your vaping inventory.
Final Verdict: Is It Worth Buying?
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer might be marketed as a limited-edition product, but it does not have any feature that stands out when compared to the previous models. This device is tailor-made for vapers who like collecting rare or unique vaporizers. The 3k weave carbon fiber outer looks discrete and the product numbers mentioned on the device feel like you have earned a membership in DaVinci Tech’s club.
Users demanding a satisfying blend of flavor and warmth will enjoy using the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer. The manufacturer has retained the same technology as the previous models. A slight improvement in outerwear does not justify purchasing a whole new device.
The DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer is a product that an OG DaVinci user might consider purchasing as a collection. You can post your opinion or ask questions regarding the DaVinci IQ2 Carbon Vaporizer in the comments section.
