DaVinci Vaporizer Review
Quick Review
The Good:
Compatible with herb, oil or wax. Fast heat-up time and digital temperature display make it user friendly. Array of colors available and will never burn your herbs.The Bad:
Doesn't give big clouds and can't be charged in a car which limits the portability. Really expensive.Overall it’s a solid vape, but not a great vape. Cool design but doesn’t rip your brain open like other portables in similar price range.
The DaVinci Vaporizer is a stealthy portable vaporizer originally designed to vaporize dry herbs. I like the DaVinci a lot because it heats up quickly and doesn’t char the shit out of my herbs. Rather than ash them up like pen-style vapes, the DaVinci heats up the active ingredients, vaporizing the leaves which releases THC and CBDs in a light odorless vapor. A lot of portables say that they’re vaporizers, but really they are nothing more than a glorified pipe. Vapes like the AtmosRx and G5 Vaporizers will basically give you one good draw before the internal heating coil burns the herb to ash.
The DaVinci will never burn your herbal material. Rather it leaves the buds cooked with a popcorn smell and a brownish hue. What’s more, the DaVinci features a user-friendly temperature control and digital readout. As opposed to other portable vapes (such as the Pax Vaporizer) that only have three temperature settings, the DaVinci is awesome because it can be customized to any temperature at all.
The internal lithium ion battery recharges within a couple of hours and there’s an AC adapter included. It would be great if there was a car charger option, though. Having to charge at a wall seriously reduces the portability of the vape.
One thing that’s awesome about the DaVinci is its fast heat-up time. This thing goes from zero to vaping in under a minute, and it has a nice little vent so it doesn’t get too hot in your hand. It’s relatively easy to clean and comes in three different colors which is pretty cool, so it’s good for dudes or chicks who want to vape while on the town.
Overall the DaVinci Vaporizer is pretty reliable and doesn’t burn my weed, but it also doesn’t deliver big-ass tasty clouds like the Arizer Solo. It’s a pretty solid unit but for $200 I was really hoping I would get more bang for my buck. If you want a better value on a handheld vape I’d recommend the Solo or the brand new Sonic Vaporizer.

Hey Jack,
Nice review. I have to agree with your points here as to the performance of the DaVinci, I actually find its performance to be really dismal (plus the fact that it’s really expensive which I don’t understand. Ugh). I would still choose my Arizer Solo & the Iolite in terms of delivering to the expectations and promises.
However, after so many months of waiting, it seems that the DaVinci has finally got it with it’s Ascent model. We have yet to see, although it seems that the community is so unanimous about it performing really well.
Did you end up checking out the Ascent? I think that they really hit a home run with it and it definitely outshines the Pax. I have been vaping it everyday for the last two weeks and had zero issues. I still like my DaVinci but I keep it in a gym bag as a backup now and don’t see myself firing it up anytime soon.
Looks like a handheld radio or something, are those the only three colors?
I have a white one, you have to ask for it when ordering
I think it depends on the place you are ordering from, some people have different colors in stock. I had to try a few different shops before I was able to get the color I wanted. If you search online should be able to get ANY color you want. I would recommend trying their sponsor vape depot. That is where I got mine from.
Yea its funny that some websites don’t display all the colors on the product page, I didnt know that I could get it in green but luckily I ordered over the phone and the customer service rep listed it as one of the options. I think that overall the Ascent does taste a little bit better but I like the DaVinci for walking around with because it feels a little bit more durable and I think the battery life is a bit better.
I have one and like it, nothing to call home about but it does the job when you need it to
I think that this is easily one of the best portables out there. The only other portable that comes close is the Pinnacle Pro and Ascent, DaVinci also makes the Ascent so that should tell you something right there. I used to own a Hammer vaporizer but got tired of how difficult it was to operate, now that I upgraded I can’t believe that I ever considered using a different vaporizer.
I bought this after my iolite WISPR began to leak butane everywhere. Needless to say, I’m much happier with the DaVinci. Charges pretty quick and the battery lasts quite a while. Now I save enough money on butane to put that towards more herb. The built in cleaning brush is pretty sweet, too. It is a little pricey but some online retailers will have good deals going on all the time.
Your Iolite was leaking? I never had any issues with mine, I wonder if you cracked the tank or something. Usually they are pretty reliable and their customer service is good as well. You should check around on Youtube and see if other people have been having the same problem because I have never heard of that happening before.
