DaVinci IQ3

Quick summary: DaVinci’s first major IQ update since the original IQ launched in 2016 — a larger chamber, removable 21700 battery, and a 10-year warranty are the headline changes. The conduction-only approach at $300 is the main point of debate against hybrid vapes at this price.

Questions and things to find out over time:

  • Real battery life with a 21700 — does 90 min hold at higher temps?
