My friend recently got a Davinci IQ and used it daily without doing a deep clean. One Saturday morning I got a call with the words, “My Davinci IQ won’t hit”. The first thing I noticed was how much resistance each hit had. My friend did a fantastic job cleaning the bowl after every use, but that was all he cleaned.
Davinci IQ Mouthpiece
Although vaporizers come in different shapes and sizes, they all tend to build up reclaim in the mouthpiece. It’s a good idea to take apart your mouthpiece about once a week after heavy use and give it a heavy cleaning. Let’s assume you’re like me and enjoy using the WPA mouthpiece your IQ came with.
- Open the mouthpiece lid of your IQ
- Push down on the mouthpiece, detaching it from your IQ
- Remove the rubber casing from the mouthpiece
When I did this my friend’s mouthpiece accumulated a wall of reclaim on the underside opening of the mouthpiece. Take a sharp needle or Q-tip dipped in iso alcohol and start removing the buildup. Next, you can take a Q-tip dipped in alcohol and clean the barrel of the WPA. Get a flexible pipe cleaner and insert it from the small slit located on the side. Thoroughly clean the pathway and free any debris that’s been sucked up there. Put your mouthpiece in your mouth and give it a good blow, there should be a lot less resistance.
Flavor Chamber
When the top lid of the IQ is open there will be two cylinders visible. One of the chambers is where the battery goes, and the black circle thing is known as the flavor chamber. Some people are surprised to learn that this chamber can be completely removed. This chamber also likes to fill up with reclaimed and finely ground flower that got sucked up from the bowl.
Completely remove the flavor chamber and open the lid at the top. The stir stick that comes with the IQ is the perfect tool to open the top of the flavor chamber. You’re going to need a ton of Q-tips for this, along with the cleaning brush your IQ came with.
Once the inside of the flavor chamber is completely clean, turn it upside down and clean the buildup at the hole on the bottom of the flavor chamber. My friend’s IQ was so dirty, that the bottom of his flavor chamber was completely caked with reclaim. I scraped away the chunks, then dissolved the remaining residue, followed by using a needle to clear the hole at the bottom of the flavor chamber.
Reassemble your Davinci IQ and pack a fresh bowl! It should be hitting like the very first time you pulled it out of the box. If the device is used daily, try to clean it like this once a week. Please let us know if this guide helped solve your problem in a comment below! I promise you it will make my day :)
i have a davinci iq and like so many before me i do have serious problem with it…it as stop heating,it doesn’t work anymore after only 3 months of use it’s dead.
my davinci is registered and under the 10 years warranty but their is the big catch about their warranty they just make it very very difficult to get your device fixed,so much that i have decided not to have it fix and just take my lost and never buy anything from davinci again.
whenever a company mistreat its customer after selling them default item should never be encourage by buying more from them.
on top of that the device taste like s””t after a very short time of use because it’s impossible to clean it properly.
definitely not worth 275$+tx
i’m using my arizer solo that i bought before and loving it better then davinci iq…buyers beware of poor services with davinci they really don’t want to make you happy no love from davinci
You had a video on YouTube about the very difficult to clean part inside this Vaporizer, called “cleaning satans a***”.
Why did you delete it, and why is there no mention about cleaning that part in this article? Did they buy you?
Youtube went anti-cannabis and deleted most of my videos.
