CARTA 2 — How to Clean

Glass top

1. 1
   Remove the glass top

   Pull the glass top straight up from the base. Applying upward pressure with a slight sideways rock helps break the silicone seal. Make sure the device is powered off and cool before removing.

2. 2
   Fill with isopropyl and shake

   Add 70–90% isopropyl alcohol into the glass top (use a funnel if helpful). Cover the openings with your fingers or the silicone stopper and shake for 30–60 seconds. Repeat if heavily soiled.

3. 3
   Rinse with water

   Pour out the isopropyl and rinse thoroughly with clean water until no alcohol smell remains.

4. 4
   Air dry

   Set the glass top upright in a clean area and allow to dry fully before reattaching.

Intelli-Core atomizer

1. 1
   Remove the atomizer

   Grasp the lower cylinder of the atomizer and turn counterclockwise to unthread it from the base. If it feels stuck, run a 15-second session at the lowest temperature to loosen built-up wax, then power off and let it cool completely before removing.

2. 2
   Soak in isopropyl

   Place the atomizer (without any silicone parts) into a container of 70–90% isopropyl alcohol. Soak for 10 minutes.

3. 3
   Clean the cup and contact pins

   Use a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl to clean the inside of the atomizer cup and the gold contact pins. Remove all residue.

4. 4
   Air dry completely — no water

   Remove from the soak and set in a clean, dry area for 1–2 hours. The atomizer must be fully dry before reinstalling. Never rinse with water — moisture can damage the ceramic and shock the connections.

Base port

1. 1
   Swab the port with isopropyl

   Dip a cotton swab in 70–90% isopropyl alcohol and clean the atomizer connection port on the base. Pay special attention to the gold contact pin — remove any wax or residue.

2. 2
   Let dry for 60 seconds

   Allow the port to air dry for at least 60 seconds before reinstalling the atomizer.

3. 3
   Reinstall the atomizer

   Thread the dry atomizer clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.
