DaVinci is known for designing some of the most reliable handheld vaporizers on the market and has a time-tested legacy of creating exceptional, trend-setting devices. The DaVinci IQ2 has undergone some major improvements since the release of the original IQ Vaporizer, with new innovative features that make it quite possibly the most advanced handheld vaporizer on the market today. The IQ2 empowers you to not only customize your cannabis experience through precision temperature control within one degree of accuracy, but also empowers you to track your dose per draw and per session. The three standout features on the IQ2 that really set this portable vaporizer apartare the new Air Dial adjustable airflow system, dual compatibility, and On Device Dosage Calculation.
DaVinci IQ2 Air Dial™
The Air Dial is pretty self explanatory. Located at the base of the unit, the Air Dial allows you to customize the airflow and offers complete control of your draw resistance. This feature of the IQ2 is more of an overhaul than an upgrade, for the original IQ didn't have any control over this aspect. The Air Dial opens up more cloud chasing or flavor enjoying capabilities depending on your preference or mood, and allows you to adjust your airflow to 40% less or 67% more than the original model. Paired with the AirDial is 35% more air holes, which aids in the overall cooling of your vapor. Users that want less dense vapor will increase the airflow, while those that seek denser clouds will use the Air Dial to decrease airflow.
Dual Compatibility 🌿🍯
If you’ve owned a DaVinci Vaporizer in the past, then the dual compatibility of the IQ2 will feel like a godsend. This long overdue upgrade allows you to use the IQ2 vaporizer with both your favorite dry herb strains and wax concentrates. The IQ2 uses a Dosage Pod system to keep the oven cleaner than most other dual function vapes. Similar to Storz & Bickel Handheld vaporizers, the IQ2 uses a metal concentrate pad that goes inside the dosage pod when using your vape with oils and concentrates. The Zirconia Ceramic air path works to keep your material’s flavor intact, so even on a higher temperature you still get solid flavors from your chosen materials.
On Device Dosage Calculation
The DaVinci IQ2 Vaporizer is the first ever vaporizer that allows you to track & report the amount of active compounds you are consuming per draw and per session. This is a huge leap forward in vaporizer technology especially for medical marijuana patients. The best part is, everything can be done directly on the device without the need for a smartphone app. You’ll be able to input your strain potency and the amount of material you’ll be vaping in the oven, and the DaVinci IQ2 will display your per-draw dosage right on the outside of the device. Let’s dive into how to use this unique feature:
How to Use the IQ2 Dosage Calculation:
Step #1:
After powering on your DaVinci IQ2, the device will begin to flash “NEW”. If you have just loaded fresh material, click the control button once to confirm a new bowl. If this is not your first session with the current oven content, use the navigation buttons to select 2nd or 3rd. Once you’ve found your selection click the control button once to confirm.
Step #2:
The DaVinci IQ2 will flash the name of the psychoactive property of a certain dry herb once, then flash a numerical value. If this is your first time using the On Device Dosage, this number will be 20. If you’ve used it before your last number will be remembered. Use the navigation buttons to select the right percentage of the property and press the control button to confirm. If you're not certain about the potency/psychoactive properties of your dry herb strain, the Leafly Strain Explorer can be a great reference guide. If you’re enjoying a dry herb without this certain property, go all the way to 0.
Step #3:
After your potency is calculated, “CBD” will flash once, then flash a numerical value. Just like in Step 2, if this is your first session you’ll have to input the percentage, but if you’ve used it before it will remember the last dosage. Use the navigation buttons to pinpoint your number, and click the control button to confirm.
Step #4:
The IQ2 will begin to flash an oven icon. If you’ve chosen a psychoactive property percentage of 50% or more, a small oven will appear to indicate the use of concentrate. A large oven will appear if the percentage is less than 50, indicating you intend to use dry herbs. Use the navigation buttons to select the amount loaded in your oven, and click the control button once confirmed.
Material Options:
🌿 The dry herb amount options are 40% full (.2 grams), 60% full (.3 grams), 80% full (.4g grams), and 100% full (.5 grams).
🍯 The amount options for concentrates are a half grain of rice (.025 grams), one grain of rice (.05 grams), one & a half grains of rice (.075 grams), and two grains of rice (.1 grams).
That’s it!
The DaVinci IQ2 algorithm considers the potency and amount of material, while the quantity of active compounds released by the IQ2 is calculated per draw and cumulatively at the end of each session. When powering down the IQ2, the LEDs will flash the total dosage of your session. DaVinci plans to release a smartphone app* to help give you even more control over your dosage monitoring by providing data on maximum dose per session, more information input regarding your strains, and live per-draw statistics.
*Note: On November 15, 2019 Apple removed and banned all vaporizer related apps from their App Store. Android users will still be able to download the DaVinci IQ2 App when it is released. Click here if you’d like to sign an ongoing petition to reverse this decision!
