CARTA 3 — Deep Clean

CARTA 3 — Deep CleanYouTube

Regular cleaning is essential to keep your CARTA 3 performing at its best. Proper maintenance helps preserve flavor, maintain vapor production, and extend the lifespan of your device and atomizer.

Recommended Cleaning Schedule

To keep your CARTA 3 operating optimally, follow this recommended maintenance schedule:

• Swab the atomizer chamber: After every session
• Soak the atomizer: Every 25 sessions
• Perform a full deep clean: Every 50 sessions

Keeping up with routine maintenance reduces residue buildup and minimizes the need for extensive cleaning.

Part 1: Cleaning the Glass Top

Before cleaning, make sure your CARTA 3 is powered off.

1. Remove the glass top from the base.
2. Empty any remaining water.
3. Rinse the glass thoroughly with warm water.
4. Fill the glass with 91% isopropyl alcohol.
5. Cover the openings using the included stopper or your fingers to prevent spills.
6. Gently shake the glass to dissolve any residue or staining.
7. Empty the alcohol.
8. Rinse the glass thoroughly with clean water.
9. Allow the glass to dry completely before reinstalling it onto the device.

Part 2: Cleaning the Airpath and Base

1. Remove both the glass top and atomizer.
2. Carefully remove the CONNECT Airpath from the base.
3. If heavy residue is present, place the airpath in a refrigerator for 5–10 minutes to help harden the buildup before cleaning.
4. Dampen a lint-free cloth with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
5. Gently wipe away any visible residue from the base.
6. Immediately dry the base after cleaning to avoid prolonged liquid contact.

Part 3: Cleaning the Atomizer

Before You Begin: Have 70% isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs available.

1. Clean the threads on the bottom of the CARTA 3 atomizer using a cotton swab lightly moistened with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
2. Remove all silicone components from the atomizer.
3. Gently swab the inside of the atomizer chamber with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
4. Submerge only the atomizer in 70% isopropyl alcohol.
5. Allow it to soak for approximately 5 minutes.
6. Gently agitate the alcohol if needed to loosen stubborn residue.
7. Remove the atomizer and allow it to air dry completely.
8. Inspect the chamber for any remaining residue. Repeat the soak if necessary.
9. Once fully dry, reinstall all silicone components.

Clean the Atomizer Contacts

After reinstalling the silicone components:

• Use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol to clean the gold contact points.
• Carefully clean around the buttons and exterior of the base as needed.
• Finish by wiping everything with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.

Cleaning the CONNECT Airpath

While the atomizer is removed:

1. Remove the CONNECT Airpath from the base.
2. Thoroughly clean the airpath using 70% isopropyl alcohol.
3. Use cotton swabs or small cleaning tools to remove residue from internal channels.
4. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly.
5. Snap the airpath back into place.
6. Reinstall the atomizer and glass top.

Cleaning Tips

• Always allow every component to dry completely before reassembling your CARTA 3.
• Never soak the device base or expose its electronics to liquid.
• Routine swabbing after every session significantly reduces residue buildup and extends the time between deep cleanings.
• Using the recommended cleaning schedule will help maintain flavor, vapor quality, and overall device performance.
