Hey guys Buzz here with vaporizerwizard.com and today I will be reviewing the Davinci
Miqro portable vaporizer.
The Miqro is the 4th and smallest dry herb conduction vaporizer made by the company Davinci.
The first vaporizer they manufactured was the OG Davinci released back in March of 2012,
followed by the Ascent which was released in August of 2013 and the IQ which came out
in October of 2016.
The Miqro vaporizer is extremely tiny which makes it easy to pocket and take out on the
go.
It features a replaceable battery system, a full temp spectrum with smart path technology
and comes with a 5 year manufacturer warranty.
I've been using the Miqro most while out biking, hiking and for nights out on the town.
The device is so small that can be completely concealed for discretion if you're out and
about.
It's literally the size of a key fob.
The downsides to the unit are the average battery life due to the small size of the
batteries and because of that; it's not the best for heavy users or big group sessions.
The Miqro is currently rated as the best portable vaporizer under $150 because of the overall
size, price, and how much control you have over your sessions.
You can pick up the Miqro directly from Davinci by following the links down below in the about
section.
I also have a full review on my site with more pics and comparisons.
So let's jump into my Davinci Miqro vaporizer review.
It's literally the smallest vaporizer I have ever tested.
It feels durable in the hands, it's easy to pocket, easy to conceal and I can completely
palm it for discretion.
The interface is intuitive, the buttons feel nice and solid, the LEDS are very bright and
easy to read and you can dim them for added discretion if needed.
The shell is made from anodized aluminum just like on the IQ and the Miqro is available
in Black, Silver, Blue, Rust and Purple.
These aren't the exact names but basically the colors they represent.
The main components are the top lid with mouthpiece, the battery conceals into this compartment
with the stir tool and the pearl is located in the bottom with the chamber.
The power button and temp buttons are located on the side and the temp display is located
on the front.
the basic kit which retails for $149 and the Explorers kit that retails for $199.
The basic kit includes the Miqro itself, the extended mouthpiece, a cleaning kit and a
USB charger.
Both kits also come with a stirring tool which stores in the top compartment.
The explorer's collection includes everything in the basic kit plus an extra 18350 battery,
carry can, the glove which helps with the heat and grip, a super sleek carry case and
a grinder coin.
In my opinion the explorer's kit is definitely the way to go because of the extra battery,
carry case and the glove.
The carry can is also a great way to carry your spare battery and enough herb for multiple
repacks in a tiny package.
If you didn't care about the carry case or the glove, the basic kit and an extra battery
would be around $165 and totally worth it.
A single battery will give you about 30 minutes of battery life which is about 3 10 minute
sessions.
Remember you only get one in the basic kit and two in the explorer's kit.
The basic and the explorer's kit will work
great for most people.
However the heavier users might want to consider picking up extra batteries and an external
charger.
Something like the Nitecore i2 or the i4 depending on how many batteries you pick up.
The Nitecore i2 is around $16 and can charge two batteries at the same time.
This frees up batteries needing to be charged in the unit and gives you more flexibility
with use out on the go.
The Davinci Miqro is 3 1/8 inch tall by 1
3/8s wide and 1 inch deep
It weighs roughly 104 grams with the battery in and a full chamber.
By comparison the Pax 3 is 90 grams.
I can palm both of these vaporizers but the Pax 3 will stick out a little bit because
of its height.
I have the Miqro as the best portable vaporizer under $150 but the explorers collection runs
$199.
The only vaporizer that I would consider better than the Miqro in the under $200 category
is the Pax 3.
You can pick up the Pax 3 basic kit for $199.
The Pax 3 heats up faster, has longer battery life, offers a bigger chamber for heavy users
or group sessions and comes with a longer warranty.
The downsides to the Pax are that it is harder to fully palm, it doesn't work as well with
small loads or micro dosing unless you buy the half-pack lid accessory and it doesn't
offer replaceable batteries, once it dies it's dead.
The Miqro is also the smaller vaporizer and comes with a whole lot of accessories at the
$199 price point, whereas you have to jump up to $249 to get the Pax 3 with accessories.
The Miqro is super easy to use even though
it's packed with all kinds of features.
There's no app like the big brother IQ so everything is changed via the control button
which is the power button and temp controls.
To turn on the Miqro, press the control button quickly 5 times.
The unit will automatically begin heating to your last set temp.
I use smart paths the most and usually start off on smart path 2 or 3 depending on the
herb.
You can press up or down on the temp buttons to change between any of the 4 smart paths.
The Smart paths will start at a certain temp and then gradually increase temp automatically
as the session goes on.
Smart path 1 runs from 350-370 degrees Fahrenheit, smart path 2 is 370-390, smart path 3 is 390-410
and smart path 4 runs from 410-430.
To pick a precise temp you press the control button one time and it will show the current
temp.
To change the temp you have to press the control button one time and then quickly press up
or down on the temp buttons.
You can't really see the temp as it's scrolling through but it will show the temp
you stopped at when you let go of the button.
You can also single press on the temp buttons to get to a precise temp.
Press the control button one time to get back to the smart path mode.
To get to boost mode, press and hold the control button.
This will rapidly increase temp of the chamber until you let off.
When you let off, the temp will start to rapidly cool down.
This is a good option for use with glass or if you're trying to finish off the last
little bit of a bowl.
The last mode is standby mode.
To get to standby mode, hold it down as if you were going to use boost mode and then
let off as soon as the arrows start going up.
They will immediately start going down and decreasing the chamber temp.
You can press any button on the Miqro to resume your previous temp and mode.
After 2 minutes in standby mode the device will turn off.
The Miqro comes with two mouthpieces no matter
what kit you choose.
One recessed and one extended that doubles as a 10mm water pipe adapter.
To change the mouthpieces, remove the gasket and mouthpiece from the top lid.
Remove the gasket from the lid and replace with the different mouthpiece.
I personally prefer to use the extended mouthpiece a bit because I feel like it offers less draw
resistance but the recessed mouthpiece is better if you're trying to be sneaky.
How to change the battery Lift up on the top lid, pull the release towards
the hinge and the battery should come right out.
Replace it with a fully charged battery positive side down and secure the latch back over the
top.
Boom that was easy.
How to load the chamber The chamber is super easy to load.
Lift up on the bottom lid and the entire section works to funnel the herb into the chamber.
It's super nice because you're not spilling anything while loading and you can easily
repack it on the go.
I like to load enough in the bowl and then use the pearl to apply some pressure to the
herb but not too much.
I prefer to use a medium to fine grind and that will definitely give you the best results
but I have loaded in a full nug before and it's vaped it much better than expected.
Downside is that you'll need to stir more often if you choose not to grind your herbs.
I've also noticed that it helps to stir pretty much every grind consistency if you
want to get the very best results.
You can get fully even AVB without stirring but your sessions will definitely take longer.
I've been able to get as much as .25 grams in the chamber and as little as .10 with the
pearl fully extended but I usually prefer to stick to around .15-.20 for best results.
A loose free pack has been working the best but a tight pack with a fine grind will produce
the most clouds for sure.
Moving on to the pearl which actually works!
I like to keep it screwed in all the way when I start a session and then I'll move it
further into the chamber as the session goes on.
This helps decrease some of the chamber space and works well to shrink the chamber size
for those single person quick sessions.
Last but not least the Miqro features a 5 minute session timer.
I've found that I usually go two cycles for a good 10 minute session.
How to clean Everything in the Miqro is removable and can
be cleaned with some ISO or some warm soapy water.
They also included some pipe cleaners to clean out the vapor path.
To clean the Miqro remove the mouthpiece from the top lid and separate from the gasket.
Next, pull out the vapor path with the stirring tool.
You can also remove the pearl but that rarely needs to be cleaned.
Throw all the zirconium pieces into some ISO and you can throw the gasket in some warm
soapy water.
Overall the gasket rarely needs to be cleaned so for the most part you can just clean the
ceramic pieces with ISO.
Be sure to keep the ISO off the gaskets on the mouthpiece and the parts under the pearl.
To clean out the chamber, take a q-tip with a small amount of iso on it, turn the unit
upside down and swab out the chamber.
Be sure to wait for all pieces to dry before throwing them back into the unit.
The longer you go without cleaning the more and more draw resistance the unit will have.
Be sure to empty out the chamber after every session if you want to help cut down on cleaning
and increased draw resistance.
The Miqro uses an 18350 900mAh rechargeable battery.
By comparison the IQ uses an 18650 3500mAh.
So it's a much smaller battery but much smaller unit as well.
Average Battery life I've been averaging about 30 minutes of
use on a full battery.
The explorer's kit comes with two batteries so you'll get roughly 60 minutes of average
continuous use which is solid but not amazing.
For heavy users, I recommend picking up the Nitecore i2 external battery charger like
I mentioned above.
This will allow you to be using the Miqro with one battery while the other is on the
charger.
Charging times are not much faster with the external but at least you can charge multiple
at the same time and not having to wait to use the device.
Average Charge times I've been averaging roughly 120 minutes
to fully charge the batteries within the unit.
It's about the same time on the external chargers.
Vape Session For this vape session, I loaded a completely
full chamber at .25 grams and I used a fine grind.
Normally I like to start on smart path 2 or 3 and then work my way up, but for demo purposes
I will be starting on smart path 4 so you can see what kind of cloud potential this
little guy has.
The Miqro delivers the best taste on smart path 2 or 3 but definitely delivers the most
clouds on smart path 4.
I've noticed that the Miqro is not the best unit for glass because of the battery life
but you can definitely set it to 420 or 430 and get some massive rips off it.
The session timer is set at 5 minutes and I'll usually vape two 5 minute sessions.
On average I get about 3 bowls per battery.
I've noticed that the Miqro has better air flow than every other portable vaporizer in
this price range.
The closest seems to be the Boundless CF but it lacks a lot of features the Miqro offers
included a full temp spectrum and a replaceable battery system.
The Miqro is easy to grip, easy to pass around but it's so small that it could be easily
dropped if someone wasn't careful.
I've found that the Miqro is not the best portable vaporizer for big groups or heavy
users due to the medium bowl size and battery limitations.
This is, however, the vape to take out for short events, night on the town or a friend's
house if it's just 2 or maybe 3 people max.
Extra batteries definitely help extend sessions and can work but I recommend bumping up to
the IQ if you are a very heavy user or plan to do lots of big group sessions.
Summary Overall the Davinci Miqro will be the perfect
vaporizer for you if you need absolute portability and discretion.
It's also a good option if you want something with replaceable batteries, or you are just
looking for the best portable vaporizer under $150.
It's easy to use, easy to clean and is backed by a 5 year warranty.
You get pretty much all of the features offered in the IQ but the downside is definitely going
to be the battery life.
Like I mentioned above, this is not the vaporizer for a heavy user or for someone looking to
use it in big groups.
I would definitely bump up to the IQ if that's what you're looking for.
