Review & Long-Term Test for the IQ3. You can find the complete overview on the main page.
Review & Long-Term Test
Review & Long-Term Test is a core practical topic for the IQ3. Build a stable baseline with fixed temperature and airflow, adjust one variable per session, and keep short notes to find a reproducible setup.
Check draw rhythm, chamber fill, and cleaning intervals in a regular routine. Most quality gains come from consistency, not from extreme settings.
- Start with one repeatable profile.
- Change only one parameter at a time.
- Track taste, vapor density, and session duration.
- Clean cooling path, screens, and seals regularly.

The IQ3 is a portable conduction vaporiser from DaVinci with app control, replaceable battery (18650) and Pearl dosing chamber. Heat-up time around 30 seconds, temperature range 121–221 °C, Zirconia air path for flavour-neutral vapour.
The IQ3 uses conduction heating. The material is heated directly via the heated chamber wall — fast and efficient, with slightly warmer vapour than convection vaporisers.
The IQ3 reaches operating temperature in around 30 seconds. At low starting temperatures below 180 °C it is slightly faster, and at the maximum temperature (221 °C) slightly longer.
Yes, the IQ3 has a replaceable 4000-mAh battery (standard 18650 format). One charge lasts for 60–90 minutes of active session time, and swapping takes less than 10 seconds.
Yes, the IQ3 supports DaVinci dosing capsules for clean and fast filling. Each capsule holds about 0.15 g of material, ideal for microdosing and use on the go.
Yes, the IQ3 is water-pipe compatible (WPA). With a 14er or 18er ground-glass adapter, the vapour can be routed through a bong or bubbler, which cools the vapour further.
Yes, the IQ3 can be controlled via Bluetooth using the free DaVinci app (iOS/Android). Functions: Smart Paths, temperature curves, session timer and firmware updates.
The IQ3 is almost silent. Since no fan is built in (pure conduction), there is no fan noise — unlike with convection or hybrid devices such as Venty or Mighty+.
A fully charged 4000-mAh battery lasts for about 8–12 sessions of 5–8 minutes each. At lower temperatures correspondingly longer, at maximum temperature slightly shorter.
High-quality unprotected 18650 cells such as LG HG2, Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6 are recommended. Protected cells with a PCB cap are often 2–3 mm longer and do not fit into the housing.
Tap out the chamber after every session. Bathe the mouthpiece weekly in isopropyl alcohol (90 %+), and clean the air path every 2 weeks with a pipe cleaner. Dosing capsules significantly reduce the cleaning effort.
