CARTA 3 — Quick Start

Updated Oct 12, 2026 2 min read

Welcome to the CARTA 3! This guide will walk you through the basic steps to get your device ready and complete your first session.

Before You Begin

Before using your CARTA 3 for the first time:

  • Fully charge the device.
  • Update the firmware to the latest available version.
  • If you plan to use water filtration, always remove the glass top before filling it with water.

Once filled, securely reinstall the glass before use.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Power On the Device

    To power on your CARTA 3: Press the V Button once. Immediately press the V Button again and continue holding it. Release the button once the device powers on. The display will illuminate when startup is complete.

  2. 2
    Set Your Temperature

    Before starting your session, choose your desired temperature. Press the Minus (-) Button once. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to increase or decrease the target temperature. Once you've selected your preferred temperature, the setting is automatically saved.

  3. 3
    Set Your Session Time

    You can customize how long your heating session will last. Press the Plus (+) Button once. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to increase or decrease the session timer. Once you've selected your preferred session duration, the setting is automatically saved.

  4. 4
    Load Your Concentrate

    Place your preferred amount of concentrate directly into the atomizer chamber. For the best experience: Load your concentrate (.1g-.3g, or about the size of a grain of rice) before starting a heating cycle. Avoid overfilling the chamber, as this can reduce performance and make cleaning more difficult.

  5. 5
    Start a Session

    To begin heating: Double-press the V Button. The display will show the live chamber temperature as it heats. Once your target temperature is reached, the device will notify you via LED light turning white, and vibrating, automatically begin the session timer. When the session ends, the CARTA 3 will alert you again.

Session Controls

Extend Your Session

If you'd like additional time during an active session, double-press the V Button while the session timer is counting down to add 10 seconds to your session.

Cancel Your Session

To end a session early, press the V Button once while the session timer is active. The heating cycle will immediately stop.

Power Off the Device

When you're finished: Press the V Button once. Immediately press the V Button again and continue holding it. Release the button once the device powers off.

Additional Tips

  • Always keep your CARTA 3 firmware up to date for the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes.
  • Clean the atomizer with 2-3+ DRY Dab Swabs after each session for the best flavor and optimal performance.
  • Allow the device to cool before cleaning with isopropyl alcohol or transporting it.
