DaVinci IQ Core, IQ C, IQ3 and MIQRO-C compared
The DaVinci IQ Core is the current everyday model in the IQ series. It keeps many practical strengths of the IQ C, but brings back a full zirconia mouthpiece and zirconia airpath. Compared with the MIQRO-C, it offers more oven capacity and battery life. Compared with the IQ3, it stays more compact and simpler, but does not include premium features such as AirDial, a 21700 battery, a larger oven and the Cool Core vapor system.

In short: the MIQRO-C is the compact microdose option, the IQ C is the familiar predecessor with USB-C, the IQ Core is the modern zirconia-focused all-rounder and the IQ3 is the larger premium device for longer sessions and more control.
What makes the DaVinci IQ Core stand out?
The IQ Core follows a clear idea: premium materials, dependable performance and no unnecessary complexity. Vapor travels through a zirconia airpath and zirconia mouthpiece, helping preserve clean and natural flavor throughout the session.
The oven holds up to 0.5 g of dry herb and uses conduction heating. The adjustable zirconia pearl helps adapt the oven to the load size and supports even heat distribution during use.
Precise temperature control
The temperature can be adjusted directly on the device. The range runs from 149 to 221 °C, giving you control over flavor, vapor density and extraction style.
Smart Paths: four temperature profiles for different sessions
The DaVinci IQ Core offers four Smart Path programs. Each path starts within a defined temperature range and gradually increases the temperature during the session. This makes it easier to shape the vapor experience without adjusting every temperature manually.
-
High Noon: 350–370 °F / approx. 177–188 °C. For bright, flavor-forward draws with lighter vapor.
-
Sunset: 370–390 °F / approx. 188–199 °C. For a balanced session with more warmth, flavor and denser vapor.
-
Moonlight: 390–410 °F / approx. 199–210 °C. For fuller vapor and stronger extraction.
-
Sandman: 410–430 °F / approx. 210–221 °C. For maximum extraction and especially rich vapor.
Use a Smart Path for simple operation or set your preferred temperature manually for more precise control.
Removable 18650 battery
The DaVinci IQ Core uses a replaceable 18650 battery. This is practical for daily use because a spare charged battery can keep the device ready without waiting for a recharge. Battery life is approximately 60 minutes depending on use.
Compact, durable and portable
The sandblasted aluminum body gives the IQ Core a solid and premium feel. It sits comfortably in the hand and remains compact enough for travel, bags or vaporizer cases. The device measures approximately 25 × 45 × 92 mm.
Who is the DaVinci IQ Core for?
The IQ Core is a strong choice for users who want a portable dry herb vaporizer with clean flavor, quality materials and straightforward handling. It works well for relaxed sessions, precise temperature control and everyday use. Its simple operation makes it suitable for both experienced users and beginners looking for a solid device from the start.

Frequently asked questions about the DaVinci IQ Core
How does the DaVinci IQ Core work?

What temperature range does the IQ Core support?
The DaVinci IQ Core supports a temperature range from 149 to 221 °C. Temperature can be adjusted directly on the device. Four Smart Path programs are also available.
Do I need the app to use the DaVinci IQ Core?
No. The main functions are available directly on the device. Temperature control, Smart Path selection, LED display and haptic feedback all work without the app.
How long does the battery last?
The IQ Core uses a removable 3000 mAh 18650 battery. Runtime is approximately 60 minutes or about 5 to 6 average sessions per charge.
How fast does the IQ Core heat up?
Heat-up time is approximately 45 to 60 seconds, depending on the selected temperature or Smart Path.
How much herb does the oven hold?
