Since the founding of the company in 2011, DaVinci Tech has helped to spearhead vaporizer innovation. Inspired by the genius of polymath Leonardo da Vinci, the company specialises in portable vapes designed to make puffing on the go easier than ever before. While simple, their devices still maintain a long list of impressive features that make them futuristic, user-friendly, and unique in a highly competitive market.

The DaVinci IQC vaporizer stands out as one of their superior products. This device boasts efficient charging, an aesthetic LED interface, a quick heat-up time, and materials that make each hit smooth, refreshing, and pure. It’s the perfect digital companion for users that want something easy to hit at home, or for adventurous vape lovers who want a device compatible with hiking trails, ski slopes, and beach breaks between surfing bouts.

Compared to older DaVinci models, such as the IQ2, the IQC has improved upon some features, while trimming down on others to make it less clunky.

What Is the DaVinci IQC Vaporizer?

The DaVinci IQC stands as a new and improved version of the original IQ. It shares certain features with the IQ2, but lacks some of the qualities held by this more expensive version. The IQC occupies the middle-ground for vape users seeking something flashy and functional without paying a premium.

The vape also appeals to users that have an equal love for herb and concentrates. You can load bud directly into the oven, or vape concentrates using dosage pods and the DaVinci extract kit. This futuristic device can handle up to 0.5g of bud in the heating chamber at once—more than enough to elevate you immediately, especially if you have a penchant for potent strains.

Above all else, the DaVinci IQC draws in users that love hitting buds or concentrates on the road, whether on the walk to work or while travelling recreationally. Its small size, quick-to-charge battery, and compatibility with DaVinci dosage pods makes it effortless to use as you please, no matter the location.

  • Inside the Box

What can you expect when you open the DaVinci IQC box upon arrival? As well as the vape itself, you’ll receive an impressive list of kit to keep your device clean and running optimally, including:

18650 battery 2x stickers
User manual 10mm water adapter
Extra pick tool 3x alcohol wipes
Brush tool 90cm braided nylon USB to type-C cable

DaVinci IQC Vaporizer Build Quality

The DaVinci IQC boasts a futuristic and sleek appearance. It looks like something that dropped straight out of the Star Wars universe; something a Jedi Knight would puff on between training sessions. Looks aside, it also feels smooth to the touch, thanks to the sandblasted aluminium body.

Speaking of materials, the device also features a glass-lined ceramic heating oven and a sealed zirconia/glass vapor path—these components mean you don’t have to worry about breathing in impurities every time you take a hit. Overall, the DaVinci IQC feels far from cheap; the hinges for the battery, mouthpiece, and oven glide wonderfully and feel like they could take a beating.

  • How to Use the DaVinci IQC Vaporizer

The DaVinci IQC smashes it out of the park with an oven that holds 0.5g of herb, which outperforms the 0.25g capacity of most dry herb devices. To load it up, first grind your bud into a coarse powder. Next, pack your bud into the device. Load it fully, but don’t compact it down; leaving air gaps between particles of weed will allow heat to move through the material easily. If you choose not to fill the chamber entirely, slightly unscrew the zirconia pearl that sits on the bottom latch to fill up the remaining space.

Once successfully loaded, turn the vape on by pressing the power button five times. Next, use the up and down buttons to select one of four preset smart heating profiles shown on the LED display—the more blocks that light up, the higher the temperature. If you want more accuracy, hit the power button again for precision heating. This prompts the LED display to show the temperature in numbers, which you can control within 1 degree using the up and down buttons.

Your vape will vibrate once it heats to the desired temp, indicating that it’s time to take a hit. The mouthpiece offers a unique experience. Instead of a protruding tube, it’s a concave indentation that features six small holes for the vapor to travel through. It might look weird at first, but it feels very comfortable against the lips. However, you have the option of using a straw-style mouthpiece if you choose. This piece of kit also allows you to use your vape alongside any rig that takes a 10mm adapter.

Don’t want to draw any attention? You can dim the LEDs by activating stealth mode. Simply press the power button and the down arrow at the same time.

  • Portability

The DaVinci IQC features a width of 4.3cm, a height of 9.2cm, and a depth of 2.5cm. These dimensions make the device a perfect pal for your pockets. You can slide this vape into trouser pockets, into small compartments in your backpack or purse, and even carry it for long distances with no effort involved. On top of this, the device only weighs 160g, so you don’t need to worry about adding much extra weight to your setup.

  • Maintenance

Just like any vape, the DaVinci IQC requires maintenance. Keeping your vape squeaky clean means you get to savour the terpenes in every hit without the taste of muck and grime. To start, remove any debris from the chamber immediately after use to prevent any buildup.

Once in a while, you’ll need to conduct a deep clean to keep your vape in shape and extend its lifespan. Place all of the removable parts into a 70% solution of isopropyl alcohol. These parts include the inside of the mouthpiece, flavour chamber pathway, and pearl. Let them soak overnight, and thoroughly rinse them in the morning.

Then, use a Q-tip dipped in the same solution to give the heating chamber and non-removable components of the mouthpiece a clean. Next, wipe them down with a paper towel, place the vape upside down, and let it dry completely before using again (the isopropyl will evaporate fairly quickly).

  • Battery Life and Charging

The device uses a replaceable 3000mAh 18650 battery. You can charge the battery while it sits in the device using a USB-C cable; expect it to reach full charge after only two hours. Once fully juiced, the battery lasts an average of 1 hour (enough to get through around six bowls for the average user). If you’re one that likes to head out to the hills, consider purchasing a couple of spare batteries and make sure they’re fully charged before stepping out the door.

DaVinci IQC Vaporizer Performance

Now that you’re aware of the foundational traits of the DaVinci IQC, let’s delve a little deeper into some of its cool features. Below, we’ll cover temperature settings, vape quality, and how it compares to the IQ2.

  • Temperature Settings

The IQC features a conduction heating system. Using the temperature controls mentioned above, users can select their desired temperature within 1-degree increments (0–221°), allowing them to target specific terpenes and cannabinoids with different boiling points. Users can also toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit by pressing all three buttons at the same time.

Boost mode helps to avoid clicking around and enables the vape to quickly heat up to the maximum temperature. To activate it, simply hold down the power button during a session (the LED display will show upward-moving arrows).

  • Vape Quality

The vape pathway within the IQC produces pure, potent, and cool vapor with no nasty chemicals. Every hit passes through the throat and into the lungs with minimal irritation. Opting for lower temperatures also brings out the terpene profile within every strain, allowing you to gain a true appreciation for the phytochemicals you’re inhaling.

  • IQC App

Any tech heads out there can download the IQC app for Android and iOS devices. This handy software gives users access to:

  • Precision temperature control
  • Custom smart paths
  • Device info
  • Real-time graphs
  • Stealth mode
  • Vibrate mode

  • DaVinci IQC vs IQ2 Vaporizer

So, how does the DaVinci IQC compare with the IQ2 model? Check out the major differences below:

  • Body: Compared to the IQ2’s brushed aluminium, the IQC features a sandblasted aluminium body that looks and feels nicer to many users.
  • Lid: Whereas the IQ2 has an aluminium lid, the IQC features a heat-resistant antimicrobial polymer lid.
  • Mouthpiece: The silicone mouthpiece feels smoother and more pleasant than the zirconia lid on the IQ2.
  • Airflow dial: The IQC doesn’t possess the airflow dial that made the IQ2 more clunky and less aesthetically pleasing.
  • Charging: Whereas the IQ2 takes six hours to reach full charge via USB, the IQC takes two hours via USB-C.
  • Hinges and magnet: The IQC features improved and smoother hinges, and a bigger and stronger magnet in the top latch.
  • Dose tracking: The IQC app lacks the dose tracking offered by the IQ2, a handy feature that allows users to monitor their cannabinoid intake.

Who Should Buy the DaVinci IQC Vaporizer?

The DaVinci IQC vaporizer appeals to a wide range of cannabis users. It offers the perfect replacement for smoking joints and hitting pipes on the road. The vapor tastes much better than smoke, and offers smoother hits.

But the IQC also outperforms many handheld vapes out there. The sleek LED display, precision temperature options, zirconia/glass pathway, large oven, and compatible app give it a long list of incredible qualities for a vape that fits into your pocket. Ultimately, if you love vaping on the go, the IQC balances portability with technology, making it the perfect companion for the road and the home.

Highly portable Lack of dose tracking
Precision heating No control over airflow
Stealth mode Oven may be too big for some users

SECTION 4 – HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?

At Royal Queen Seeds, we will not retain your data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of data; however, the longest period we will normally hold any personal data is 10 years.

4.1 Account information

Data relating to the account remains relevant for as long as the consumer is in possession of an account. Therefore, the data remains documented for as long as the account exists.

In addition, our newsletter mailing has an opt-out feature. Consumers can withdraw their consent by using this opt-out feature.

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

5.1 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance your online experience. Among other things, these cookies track what is added to your shopping cart. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

5.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
