Yes. Press and hold all three buttons for 10 seconds. The device will vibrate to
confirm the change on the LED display.

Approximately 60 minutes of continuous use, or 5 to 6 average sessions per charge. Carry a spare 18650 battery for longer days.

45 to 60 seconds depending on temperature selection or Smart Path.

Yes, with dosage capsules and a ceramic extract disc, sold separately. The IQ Core
is primarily designed for dry herb. We do not recommend vaporizing essential oils directly.

No. Full temperature control and Smart Path selection are available on-device.

The IQ Core brings back the full all-zirconia mouthpiece and airpath that DaVinci
originally built its reputation on. The IQC introduced USB-C charging, which
remains. The Core removes features that added complexity without adding to the
everyday experience, and tightens the build for long-term reliability. Same
price. Cleaner design.

The IQ Core uses a standard 18650 lithium-ion battery (3000mAh). The battery is fully user-replaceable: open the battery door, swap it out, and continue your session without waiting for a
charge. 18650 batteries are widely available and are not proprietary to DaVinci, so replacements are easy to find.

The IQ Core oven holds up to 0.5grams of ground dry herb. The zirconia pearl on the oven lid can be extended for a full 0.5g pack or threaded down to reduce oven size for smaller sessions. For the most precise dosing, stainless steel dosage capsules (sold separately) drop directly into the oven and can be pre-loaded before a session.

The IQ Core does not have an adjustable airflow dial. Airflow is optimized for a slow, steady draw, which is the most effective pull style for conduction vaporizers. Drawing slowly gives the heated oven walls time to transfer heat into the material on each inhale, producing denser, more consistent vapor.If you'd like a vaporizer with adjustable airflow, check out the DaVinci IQ3 Vaporizer.

Smart Paths are four preset temperature curves built into the IQ Core. Rather than holding a single fixed temperature throughout a session, each Smart Path gradually increases heat over time. This mirrors how different compounds in your herb vaporize at different temperatures: terpenes release at lower temperatures (around 300°F to 360°F), while cannabinoids extract more fully as heat rises toward 430°F. Smart Paths let you move through that full range in a single session without manually
adjusting temperature mid-draw.

The four Smart Paths on the IQ Core are High Noon (360°F to 370°F), Sunset (370°F to 390°F), Moonlight (390°F to 410°F), and Sandman (410°F to 430°F). You can also set any temperature manually in 1°F increments directly on the device.

A zirconia airpath means the channel your vapor travels through from the oven to your lips is made entirely from zirconia ceramic (ZrO₂). Zirconia is chemically inert, meaning it does not react with heat, terpenes, or cannabinoids. Vaporizers with plastic, silicone, or metal in the airpath can introduce off-flavors, especially at higher temperatures. A full zirconia airpath ensures the vapor you inhale tastes only like what you packed, not the device.

The IQ Core is one of the few portable vaporizers with a fully zirconia ceramic airpath and mouthpiece. Zirconia is a high-performance ceramic used in medical implants and aerospace
components. It is completely inert at vaporization temperatures, adds nothing to the vapor, and does not degrade over time. Most portable vaporizers at this price point use plastic, rubber, or metal components somewhere in the vapor path. The IQ Core does not.
