I got some "IQ" !
The IQ Hybrid by Julian O. Dorojan, Romania



The IQ Hybrid went on sale around mid-2013 via a list on Vapor Wall. It was accepted well and had some cool reviews by the likes of Todd, The Hill Giant etc. It recently went on sale again, but with a promotional price-tag, a Vapor Wall special, which I couldn't resist.



What is it?

The IQ is a Genesis Type Hybrid fired by an 18xxx series battery. It is 20mm OD, has a PCB control board with all the necessary protections. A three toned finish make it very attractive, but besides it's good looks it is also a smart vaper.





Key features:

1. All stainless steel
2. Bead blasted tube with polished topper
3. Base model in 18350, with availability of 18500 & 18650 tubes
4. Optional 510 top-cap
5. Dimensions & Weight: 20x110 (mm) in 18350 mode, 98 gms.
6. Side firer with 5-click On / Off
7. Blue lit switch with 11-seconds cut-off and 7-Amps limit PCB
8. Three flash shutdown when battery is below 3.45V
9. Pyrex tanked Single Coil Deck with Reduced Chamber
10. Engraved name and Serial Number

Closeup out of packaging

Build & Setup:


Atty disassembled and cleaned


Microcoil prepared: 28 AWG Kanthal wrapped on a toothpick


Microcoil Test Fired


Wick inserted and Fired: 400g SS Mesh


Setup Juiced and Tested before assembling


IQ Hybrid with Atmistique Stealth Driptip

Bottomline: A very well made device, the modder's eye for details is pretty eminent thru the quality of craftsmanship... every part is smooth and seem well defined. The bead blasted body tube with it's shiny engraved accents is gorgeous and alongwith the all SS topper make it very classy! The atty is immensely easy to work upon and the little beast fires up badass! BAM! One attempt is all it took to dole out the plumes... excellent VTF. Overall a Steal at this pricepoint! I am very happy!

How come you build the wick inside the coil, rather than the coil around the wick?

It's a "Microcoil" buddy. they are always a separate identity and the wick conforms to it.

In any case, even with my erstwhile Gennys I always used the Petar K method of wick and coil. Pls google that... many of us do it his way ~ coil first, then the wick.

Nice review qorax! Can't wait to get mine too ;)

Thanks B! You'll love it - I'm sanguine :) This Genny is sweet and awesome. The easiest to build, just like the RSST and is correct at the first attempt - one attempt. And whatta performer it is!

I don't do gennys anymore, but this price couldn't be missed. The IQ Hybrid thus comes with zing[!] to the Wall members ~ Awesome device with a 50% discounted price-tag, Ah how better can it be?

Your review of it was spot on... I had viewed it over and over again before plunging on this purchase... and yes, I noticed you going for another as well. At this price point it's a deal which cannot be missed!
