First use

1. 1
   Charge before first use

   Connect via USB-C to a 5V 2A adapter. Charge for up to 2 hours. Never leave the device unattended while charging.

2. 2
   Install the atomizer

   Thread the Intelli-Core atomizer clockwise into the base chamber until snug. A loose atomizer can trigger a reading error.

3. 3
   Attach the glass top

   Press the glass top straight down into the silicone-fit opening on the base until it seats firmly. Upward + slight sideways pressure helps release it when removing.

4. 4
   Power on

   Click the V button 5 times rapidly. The device vibrates and LEDs illuminate to confirm it's on.

5. 5
   Select a temperature

   Press the V button once to cycle through the heat presets. Start with Blue (425°F) for your first session.

6. 6
   Load your concentrate

   Place a rice-grain to pea-sized amount of concentrate into the atomizer cup. Place your carb cap on top.

7. 7
   Start a session

   Double-click the V button. The device vibrates and heats to your selected preset. It vibrates again when temperature is reached — draw slowly and steadily.

Your CARTA 2 may include a bubble cap or a swivel carb cap depending on which kit you purchased. Both work the same way — place it over the atomizer opening before starting your session.

Maintenance schedule

• After every session — Wipe the atomizer cup with a dry cotton swab while still warm
• Every 25–50 sessions — Full atomizer soak in 70–90% isopropyl alcohol
• Every 25–50 sessions — Clean the base port with an isopropyl-dampened swab
• As needed — Rinse glass top with isopropyl and water
