DaVinci has always kept its loyal customers waiting and guessing for what to expect next. After introducing DaVinci ARTIQ for cool and soothing cartridge vaping, DaVinci IQ3 is the newest model that cools dry herb vapors more efficiently than previous products.
The device looked almost similar to the previous models when I preordered it from the company. The heat settings, mode of operation, and overall efficiency are the same. However, DaVinci has advertised IQ3 for its improved air dial and advanced cooling system.
What other differences does the DaVinci IQ3 have when compared to DaVinci IQ2 and DaVinci IQ2 Carbon? This article will explain it in detail.
DaVinci IQ3 is a solid addition to the product line. The previous models lacked an efficient cooling system and the air dial required improvement, which DaVinci has delivered. Moreover, a slight increase in chamber size is also a welcome improvement.
Despite these changes being value-adding, the overall design and controllability are the same. Sticking to the same design and controls makes the device redundant for users who already own the previous models. I would recommend switching from the previous models only if you really want control over the airflow, a more accommodating chamber, and cooler vapors.
Pros
The chamber capacity has increased by 33%.
The cool core technology reduces the temperature as the spiral path absorbs heat like nothing else.
The air dial provides 70% more control over the airflow.
It has a tough metallic shell that secures the interior and gives it a sleek look.
The controls are simple.
It has a zirconia chamber with a glass path to prevent flavor hindrance.
The price point is better than other newly launched DaVinci products.
The batteries are removable to extend the vaping time when you are on the go.
Cons
It still lacks high intensities for satisfying extract smoking.
No difference in LED grids, controllability, and overall design makes it comparatively unwanted for people owning previous models.

Dry herb compatibility
DaVinci IQ3 is made primarily for people who fancy dry herb smoking. The heating chamber is made of pure zirconia to avoid the combustion of dry herbs. Moreover, the air path is all glass to keep the flavor intact. The DaVinci IQ3 is also compatible with extracts like the DaVinci IQ2, but I recommend using it with dry herbs because the temperature intensities are not up there.
Sleek and solid shell
DaVinci IQ3 is made of aircraft-grade brushed aluminum that gives it a sleek look and immense strength to absorb physical pressure. The chamber is airtight to ensure complete isolation from the environment and pure heating. The heating chamber is made of zirconia and the vapor path is glass to avoid flavor hindrance.
Cool core technology
The new DaVinci IQ3 has cool core technology integrated within its vapor chamber. It provides a spiral path for vapors to flow along the internal components. It ensures the dissipation of unnecessary heat from vapors. The cooling effect of DaVinci IQ3 is 50% more than the previous models, which is a remarkable improvement for smokers seeking flavorful vapors.
Trademark air dial
DaVinci IQ3 has an improved trademark air dial that increases the vapor velocity up to 70%. The air dial is smooth, comfortable, and more enjoyable than the previous models. I instantly felt the difference when I exercised control over the airflow. The gush of cloudy vapors is incredibly flavorful.
Short heating time
DaVinci has maintained a short heating time of 30 seconds to keep it an ideal device for on-the-go smoking sessions. The heating chamber supports combustion technology but it does not burn the dry herbs. The temperature settings are ideal for a variety of consumers as it starts from 0 degrees Celsius and ends at 221 degrees Celsius.
Temperature controls
DaVinci IQ3 has an advanced thermal management system having four smart modes that lie between flavor and sleep experience. The device allows you to increase six degrees Celsius over eight minutes. Moreover, DaVinci IQ3 also has a precision control system, allowing you to adjust the temperature level in one-degree increments.
DaVinci IQ3 contains on-device controls and also has in-app features to help change the settings conveniently. The device communicates via an LED grid, which is a trademark control feature of DaVinci products.
The mobile app has a dose control safety feature that restricts cannabinoid or nicotine consumption. DaVinci IQ3 is integrated with haptic feedback to increase the reliability of session timings and user safety.
More housing and micro-dosing compatibility
DaVinci IQ3 has more chamber space than the previous devices. It can precisely store 33% more dry herbs inside, which amounts to 0.7 grams. The chamber lid also has a zirconia pearl that enables packing the chamber perfectly for evenly heated vapors. The pearl is one of the best features adopted from the previous models as it can help the users microdose or smoke herbs for marathon sessions.
Removable batteries and fast charging
Considering DaVinci’s product history, the new DaVinci IQ3 has 21700 lithium-ion batteries. It is replaceable, so you can carry an extra set while traveling to ensure longer sessions and the least reliance on the battery life.
The lithium-ion battery has a 90-minute run time. DaVinci IQ3 provides the user with an optimum balance between efficiency and power. The device has a type C charging port on the back. This particular charging port position allows you to charge it conveniently.
Durability and financial coverage
DaVinci IQ3 is a heavy metal-tested device that does not break easily. It has a 10-year warranty to cover the manufacturing and performance faults in the system.
Method of use
Using the DaVinci IQ3 is as easy to use as DaVinci IQ2 and DaVinci IQ2 Carbon. It has a chamber lid at the bottom that you need to open first. Insert the ground herbs inside the chamber and extend the pearl accordingly for a perfect bake.
DaVinci IQ3 has a three-button control that comprises a power button and up & down keys. Pressing the power button five times will turn on the device. Pressing the power button three times allows you to switch between smart and precision modes. The up and down keys make it easy to toggle between intensities. Once your favorite intensity is locked, DaVinci IQ3 handles the rest.
Conclusion
DaVinci IQ3 is a solid addition to the product line. The previous models lacked an efficient cooling system and the air dial required improvement, which DaVinci has delivered. Moreover, a slight increase in chamber size is also a welcome improvement.
Despite these changes being value-adding, the overall design and controllability are the same. Sticking to the same design and controls makes the device redundant for users who already own the previous models. I would recommend switching from the previous models only if you really want control over the airflow, a more accommodating chamber, and cooler vapors.
