Heat Quality

Both loose leaf vaporizers heat up in under half a minute. DaVinci IQ heats up slightly faster; by a brief 6 seconds. Of course, if you're going to be heating concentrates (which require much higher temps) expect the PAX 3 to take longer.

*PRO TIP - Switching back and forth between concentrates and dry herbs can result in a quickly clogged airway. Old pros tend to recommend a separate vape for each material. Otherwise prepare for lots of cleaning!

DaVinci IQ's temps go slightly higher, but this isn't a big concern in a dry herb vaporizer. The point of vaping is to avoid combustion (a.k.a. getting so hot it combusts into fire) which separates smoke from vapor. DaVinci's temperatures start a full hundred degrees lower, and you can taste the difference in the fresh flavor of steady heat.

The PAX's half-pack lid does accommodate a partial load of ground material better. By shrinking the size of the heating chamber, the vaporizer is able to warm the smaller amount more efficiently.

Cloud Quality 

Both vapes deliver daily-driver quality. Because the PAX can get a little sticky and hard to inhale when switching between dry herbs and concentrates, we think the DaVinci IQ takes the lead on this one. It dedicates its talents to dry herb delivery and the extra quality shows. A pure cubic zirconia air path keeps flavors clean and fresh on the palatte, too!

 

And The Winner Is . . .
