Focus V CARTA Sport

The Focus V CARTA Sport is a fully temperature controlled e-rig which provides great performance from a fairly small package, it's well suited to newer and more experienced dabbers alike, with a focus on providing a simple and reliable dabbing experience without breaking the bank. Its ergonomics are well designed making this a comfortable device to use and overall it's been thought out very well, even down to the air path which can be removed or even swapped out for easy cleaning.

This device makes use of a 3D heated ceramic atomizer, with elements both inside the walls and the base of the heater (much like the Core XL), ensuring you get excellent efficiency and don't waste your concentrates. Being temperature controlled (adjustable pre-sets by using the app) you can tweak it to your liking or just enjoy the simplicity of the pre-set temperatures and one button function of the device. It makes use of a joystick style carb cap, so once your dab is loaded in and it's reached temperature you can move the joystick carb around in little circles to push the concentrate around inside the heater, stirring it and helping it vaporize nice and evenly. 

The Focus V app not only provides the option to customize the temperature settings, it also allows for customization of the lights and logging of your sessions, along with the ability to view the precise battery percentage so you know if it needs a charge before you go out! You can check the battery level using the button on the device however this only provides a more general idea of the battery level as it's light based, not a number.

Being very efficient the CARTA Sport does not need large dabs to provide good performance, however if you do like to load a little more in you may want to consider the Intelli-Core Max atomizer which is deeper so can be loaded with more without flooding. As it's larger the Max atomizer also provides a little extra room for the carb cap, which reduces the chance of the tip or the carb cap dipping into your dab while you're vaping it. We prefer the Max atomizer as it improves vaping efficiency (taller walls = less reclaim) and still works with smaller dabs too, though it's relatively expensive so understand that's not for everyone... but it is worth it in our opinion.  

Things of note which are worth knowing

• Load your dab in when it's cold then let it heat with the dab inside, loading dabs into a hot heater can cause damage to the heater (pretty standard with ceramic heaters)
• If possible use a heated dab tool like the Mini HDT to drop your dab in, this avoid the need to try and scrape dabs off a metal tool into the heater which is messy and can damage the heater
• The tip of the carb cap is a bit longer thank it maybe needs to be, so with larger dabs the tip will can end up with a bit of your dab on it. If you're interested in larger dabs please check out the Intelli-Core Max Atomizer which is 30% larger. Not a deal breaker, but something to know before buying. The Carta Sport is very efficient with small dabs so if this happens and you don't want to invest in the larger Atomizer try going smaller to see if that still hits the spot for you without dirtying up the carb cap. 
• The CARTA App works but does seem a little unstable at times and can freeze up and need restarting. It's very useful for dialing in your temperatures for the device, though we found that the pre-selected temperature are well programmed so many people probably won't feel the need to tweak anything! 
• The CARTA Sport is not compatible with the wireless charging base like the Carta 2, this feature is not available as it makes the device more expensive to produce and the Sport can just be plugged in via USB-C to charge it so it's not strictly needed. We think the massive price difference between the two devices, while retaining the same vaping functionality is well worth the odd miniature sacrifice like this!
• The Atomizer and bubbler are angled slightly so that you can use the device at a slightly more comfortable angle, however please always ensure that the atomizer is pretty much upright while you're vaping or your dab will flood into the airflow.
• There is a herb chamber available separately for the CARTA Sport, however we weren't super impressed with it during testing and since we only stock stuff that we find impressive we won't be stocking it. It does the trick but we'd rather stick with a separate device for vaping herb. 
• The bubbler only needs to be filled just above the slits on the glass percolator inside, 2cm above them is fine. 
• Take the bubbler off the base before filling it and wipe any excess of the outside before installing it on the base, please. Electrics + water = bad. 
• If you're transporting it, empty the bubbler first!
