The IQ3 uses conduction heating. The temperature range goes up to 221 °C, and the heat-up time is around 30 seconds.
Conduction heating warms the material directly via the chamber wall. This ensures fast heat-up and even extraction when the chamber is well filled.
The IQ3 has a replaceable 4000-mAh battery. Pass-through charging is possible — the device can be used while charging.
The replaceable battery extends runtime on the go: simply take a charged spare battery with you and keep vaping without relying on a power socket.
The IQ3 is a portable vaporizer. It weighs 238 g — a little heavier, but solid and well built.
The IQ3 is compatible with:
Additional original accessories from DaVinci complement the package.
The IQ3 is a portable vaporizer from DaVinci with conduction heating. It is aimed primarily at beginners and users looking for a simple device. Our price comparison shows it from 300.00 € at 106 shops.
The IQ3 has a zirconia airpath that is odor-neutral and easy to clean. The Pearl dosing system makes it possible to fill the chamber without direct contact with the material. After each session, loose material should be removed; for deeper cleaning, a pipe cleaner soaked in alcohol is sufficient in the air channel.
The stainless steel mouthpiece can be cleaned in warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid. DaVinci recommends a full cleaning every 10-20 sessions, depending on the fill level. Dosing capsules make maintenance much easier and reduce build-up in the chamber area.
The IQ3 and the IQC share the housing, heating block and zirconia airpath. The key difference: the IQ3 comes with Bluetooth and the DaVinci app, while the IQC does without them and is therefore more affordable.
The app enables precise temperature curves (Smart Paths) and lets you read usage statistics. If you use these functions regularly, you will prefer the IQ3. If you would rather simply switch on and vape, the IQC gives you identical vapor quality at a lower price. Both devices use the same replaceable 18650 battery.
The replaceable 18650 battery is one of the IQ3's biggest advantages for heavy users. A fully charged spare battery is enough for 6-8 additional sessions without the device needing to be plugged in.
Important: only use high-quality unprotected 18650 cells (e.g. LG HG2, Samsung 30Q). Protected cells with a PCB cap often do not fit in the housing. An external charger (e.g. Nitecore) extends battery life compared with internal charging and keeps the battery in better condition for longer.
The right temperature on the IQ3 determines flavor, vapor density and cannabinoid profile. Lower temperatures (170–185 °C) emphasize terpenes and deliver mild, aromatic vapor. Higher temperatures (195–210 °C) produce denser clouds and a stronger effect.
| Zone | Range | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Flavor | 170–185 °C | Mild, aromatic, little visible vapor |
| Balance | 185–195 °C | Good flavor with visible vapor |
| Dense clouds | 195–210 °C | Strong vapor, more intense effect |
