Better in every way except one

Posted by Jon S on Apr 25th 2020

I have had two Davinci IQ vaporizers, which have been reliable workhorses. The biggest improvement to the IQ2 in my opinion was increasing the number of air holes in the oven and adding the air control valve on the bottom of the unit. What a decrease in draw resistance! However, the reliability of this unit in comparison to the original IQ is abysmal. I have had to return it for repair once already and have just submitted a second request. My favorite feature of both the IQ and IQ2 is that you can simply swap out the battery when it's drained. My IQ2 has a tendency to fail to function after I replace the battery though. The first time it failed, it would still power on if I put a little pressure on the battery door with my finger. This of course still made the unit useless as you can't close the top to take a draw if you're holding the battery door firmly in place. I sent the unit back for repair after following all troubleshooting steps to no avail, it was returned and functioned for about a month with repeated battery changes, and then after a standard battery change it simply failed to turn on again. This time, it won't even turn on if I hold the battery door firmly in place. I've submitted another request for repair but who knows how long it will take now that the country is wracked by the coronavirus. Overall, the company's response so far has been good which is why I gave two stars. Otherwise, the IQ2 is a solid 1 in my book. I rely on this device for medical purposes and its constant failure would have a significant impact if I didn't still have an IQ to back me up. If I buy another vape from Davinci, it will be the IQ not the IQ2. Will update as I hear from the company.
