Davinci IQ Glove

We have been additionally despatched the IQ Glove which is a $10.95 case for the IQ.  This is a silicone based mostly sleeve for the vaporizer that helps defend it from scratches and dents.  Overall, we appreciated the look of the vaporizer with the glove on it and it offers it slightly additional grip so it’s tougher to drop, however the one subject is that the sleeve itself slides up and down on the system since there is no such thing as a method for the glove to cowl the underside or high of the system to remain on extra securely…since it might cowl the mouthpiece and the loading chamber.

The Glove seems to be cool and does give safety, however would favor it to someway keep on the system extra securely throughout common utilization.

How We Tested the Davinci IQ

We ordered some contemporary dry herb one was Sour Lemon Haze and the opposite was Chronic CBD.  Why we obtained one which was a typical pressure and one other which was a high CBD strain was to check out the current suggestions to burn CBD at the next temperature than a Tetrahydrocannabinol pressure, we needed to check at 392 levels Fahrenheit.  For the Tetrahydrocannabinol pressure, we needed to check at a decrease vary being at 356 Fahrenheit.  The first stage of the take a look at was to strive the “Smart Path” ranges after which take a look at them out at particular temperatures.

Testing with the Sour Lemon Haze

When we first examined the Sour Lemon Haze we examined it on the first Smart Path vary of 350 levels Fahrenheit to 370 levels Fahrenheit.  With this take a look at, it appeared just like the vapor plumes took some time to really be noticeable and needed to suck laborious on the system.  It is finest to slowly suck at an everyday tempo as a substitute of 1 main suck, however both method, our vapor appeared a lot much less on the low temperature.  Since the plumes have been small we bumped it as much as the second Smart Path of 370 levels Fahrenheit to 390 levels Fahrenheit simply to see the plume sizes as compared.  At the upper Smart Path setting the plumes have been bigger, however we needed our excellent temperature to be 356 levels for this pressure, so determined it might be finest to set it with the precision changes to the precise temperature.

The setting on the actual temperature gave us peace of thoughts to know we have been testing on the advisable warmth, however truthfully, the plumes have been nonetheless small for us.  Also, the flavour of this flower was not so good as we hoped so the setting of 356 levels is for the “connoisseur” however the flower didn’t fulfill our expectations so truly ended up having fun with it extra at the next temperature.  Also, this particular flower did higher as soon as we added among the additional herb into the Flavor Chamber because the dry unheated herb truly had an excellent odor and terpene base that helped steadiness the vapor total.

Our greatest concern utilizing the Flavor Chamber was that it might be a lot tougher to suck since it’s the air path, however in utilization was not laborious to get a good vape with a full chamber.  Over time, we’re curious to see how gunky the herb will get within the Flavor Chamber, undecided if it should waste the flower with condensation and resin however will see the way it goes.

Testing with the Chronic CBD

For the Chronic CBD we set the Smart Path vary to the default 3 setting of 390 levels to 410 levels Fahrenheit.  While this setting would find yourself larger than we needed for our CBD testing, which was to be a max of 392 levels we appreciated the idea of the Smart Path and a gradual progress in warmth and plumes.  This setting total supplied good vapor and a pleasing expertise.  We then additionally examined the Boost Mode by holding down the management button.  It’s good to have the ability to max out your inhale for an enormous puff on occasion by utilizing this Boost Mode, however total it’s a good characteristic that we use as soon as each smoke session now.  To wrap up our assessments we additionally set the temperature immediately on the 392 diploma burn that we needed and saved it there for the lengthy haul.

Overall, our testing with the Chronic CBD went a lot smoother because the flower was a greater tasting flower and the upper temperature gave us good massive vapors.  Also, based mostly on the examine we learn it might look like we maxed out the CBD we might get from every puff since we had such express management over the temperature and will maintain from hitting the combustion mode whereas going as sizzling as doable.

Also price noting is we additionally examined the prolonged mouthpiece, however don’t see this as our excellent method because it appears like you might be sucking on a straw however the prolonged mouthpiece is a key part to among the equipment that the IQ presents which we do have curiosity in testing.

Using the Davinci App with the Davinci IQ

The IQ is the primary Davinci vaporizer to be built-in with a cellular app.  We examined the app on iOS and located it to be a pleasant addition, with one noticeable bug.  The app is helpful with the Davinci IQ since throughout the software you’ll be able to modify the Smart Paths and set them to be customized.  For us, we ended up adjusting our Smart Path vary barely in order that Smart Path 2 now ends at 392 levels as a substitute of 390 levels.  This is a really minor change however lets or not it’s in order that our temperature now ends on the max we needed for our CBD pressure.

Also, within the app, you are able to do issues like change from Fahrenheit to Celsius.  This is vital for customers internationally to have the ability to customise for his or her localized wants.

The bug we observed within the app can also be a good thing about the setup.  When you first begin up the app with the vaporizer close by it routinely acknowledges your system with out a sophisticated Bluetooth pairing…which is the good half.  What we observed although is that generally for us the app didn’t acknowledge the system, probably as a result of the pairing isn’t as direct.  To appropriate this bug we’d simply must pressure shut the app and reopen.

Overall, whereas the app integration is cool and a pleasant characteristic to indicate off the app itself isn’t utterly mandatory upon getting your customized settings setup in your system.  We don’t understand how a lot we are going to use the app sooner or later, however nonetheless will maintain the app on our cellphone and occasionally showcase to mates that we are able to truly activate the IQ from our cellphone.  Over time I might be extra curious to see extra FitBit like analytics which might make me wish to open the app extra and in addition possibly some options like smoke session journaling.

How the Davinci IQ Worked for Me

Overall we actually just like the Davinci IQ.  If I used to be a heavier oil person (apart from cartridge oils) then I would want to get the Ascent or the Classic as a substitute of the IQ, however as a go-to dry herb vaporizer IQ will probably be my go to any more.  Straight out of the field it’s a nice system and I already see some equipment I really feel are mandatory.

The first accent I need is the Glass Spacers that they provide which can permit us to replenish the loading chamber with much less herb.  We suppose the spacers are excellent since you’ll be able to pack smaller hits (one-hitter please) and in addition we predict it might make it simpler to scrub over time if doing an excellent quantity of quick solo smoke classes.

The second accent I’m excited to strive is the Nectar Collector Honeybird Core.  While the vape is nice immediately from the Davinci IQ, I can’t assist however wish to strive the water filtration possibility.  This isn’t essential to get pleasure from your every day vape with the IQ, however it positive seems like an additional particular deal with to drag out at residence and with mates.

Useful and Unique Things to Know About Davinci IQ

When we have been testing the IQ we observed the warmth of the unit to the touch remained for some time after turning off the system.  The warmth was nothing harmful or alarming however did last more than anticipated.  We additionally observed that if utilizing the app you may truly see the temperature of the vape when in standby mode/turned off cooling again to regular so might see that it was round 200 levels for an excellent period of time.  Knowing this, I might all the time maintain the system out of my pocket for a bit after use if doable and in addition did like that the Glove case because it did reduce the warmth.  Also, the Glass Spacers accent is much more attention-grabbing now since we wish to keep away from any additional warmth on the herb that continues to be within the loading chamber so would favor to simply load it with as a lot as we’re going to smoke within the session utilizing the spacers.
