DaVinci IQ3 Review - Best Big Bowl Vape - Troy and Jerry ThinkDank

Update February 2026

The two of us have debated for months which DaVinci vape we thought was the best, so this month we decided to work it out live and make the IQC and the IQ3 duke it out head-to-head on a livestream. We both already liked the IQ series, but we weren’t sure a bigger IQ would be an improvement.

Bottom line – The IQ3 surprised us both and easily won. Yeah, it’s bigger and heavier and more expensive. But with a full oven, the IQ3 impressed us with better flavor that lasted longer (without overwhelming terp burn), cooler vapor from the massive Cool Core, and a bigger stone that put the stream to rest! From now on, this will be the vape we reach for when we want a DaVinci vape.

But you don’t have to take down the entire, massive 3/4 gram bowl in one sitting, like we did. Many people like to use it as a joint throughout the day, firing it up multiple times on the same load for regular “top-off” sessions. It’s a great way to pack your weed once and use it sporadically all day long. If you go this route, the taste will diminish as you go, but not as quickly as it would from a smaller bowl.

DaVinci is back with another badass dry herb vaporizer. The new IQ3 boasts the biggest bowl and biggest battery of any other portable weed vape. This vape has a glass-lined bowl and vapor path for the purest of flavor, and it has a massive .7g bowl for heavy impact or all-day-vaping.

Davinci has a reputation for making reliable, high quality vaporizers. The DaVinci IQ has been a top rated vape since its release in 2016. The IQ design uses an all-metal body with built-in vapor cooling and a removable battery.

The newest IQ3 has an even larger battery than the IQC and IQ2.

Bigger is Better – Davinci IQ3 is a BIGGER IQ2

The new DaVinci IQ3 dry herb vaporizer follows the latest trend of big ass portable vapes, like the Storz & Bickel Venty and Arizer Solo 3. It’s essentially an enlarged IQ2, which I didn’t know we needed, so let’s see what’s up!

Davinci IQ3 is a larger vaporizer than the IQ2 — *IQ2 on the left, IQ3 on the right. The IQ3 has the same style, just bigger.*

Unlike the Venty and Solo 3, which bring impressive tech advances to their lineup, the IQ3 seems to just be bigger. It’s got a bigger oven, a bigger battery, and an overall bigger size compared to the IQ2. One place they stepped up is the cooling chamber. It now has a Cool Core spiral pathway to cool the vapor even more than before, which was already pretty good.

With bigger power and a bigger oven comes a bigger price. The IQ3 will set you back $300. That’s a lot of dough for a vape, but nothing compared to the handfull of vapes that have come out this year for well over $400. Here are some first impressions:

The oven holds a whopping 0.7 grams! That’s HUGE for a portable vape. If massive loads are your thing, this is the new king.
The IQ3 sports a replaceable 21700 battery that’s as big as I’ve seen in a portable vape. DaVinci claims we’ll get 90 minutes of runtime from it.
The pearl just keeps getting better. This is the easiest to install and adjust, compared to earlier IQ models.
The loading dock and glass lined oven are now a shiny black, which appears cleaner even if it’s not. Good move!
The oven still seems to have the notorious “Devil’s Arse” below it that is a bitch to clean. Only time will tell if this one is truly cleaner.
The Flavor Chamber and Cool Core work! Even at the highest temps and packed with a full, massvie bowl, I got nothing but cool, comfy vapor.
The air dial seems to work a little better than the dial on the IQ2, but the real issue is the pack. When the oven is empty, the air flow feels free flowing. But once you pack the oven tightly, all air dial settings feel the same. It really only works well with partial or lighter loads.
The IQ3 works with DaVinci’s web app, but I couldn’t get it to connect with my iPhone. It worked beautifully when paired with my Windows desktop computer.
The IQ3 has dosage control, which debuted on the IQ2 without much fanfare. We’ll see if it becomes something useful this time around!
