CARTA 2 — How to Use

Updated May 16, 2025 4 min read

The CARTA 2 supports both concentrate and dry herb sessions. This guide walks you through a complete session from power-on to power-off, plus temperature settings, LED customization, and battery checks.

Session flow

  1. 1
    Power on

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

  2. 2
    Select your temperature

    Press the V button once to cycle through the heat presets: Blue (425°F) → Yellow (450°F) → Green (475°F) → Purple (500°F) → Red (525°F). Stop when your desired color is shown. For custom temperatures, connect via the V Browser app at www.focusv.app.

  3. 3
    Load your concentrate

    Place a rice-grain to pea-sized amount of concentrate into the atomizer cup. Avoid overloading — less is more for flavor and cleanliness.

  4. 4
    Place your carb cap

    Set your carb cap over the atomizer opening. This traps heat and improves vapor production.

  5. 5
    Start a session

    Double-click the V button. The device vibrates and begins heating. It vibrates again when your set temperature is reached.

  6. 6
    Inhale

    Draw slowly and steadily through the mouthpiece. Slow draws produce the best vapor density and flavor, and prevent concentrate from splashing into the airpath.

  7. 7
    Extend or end your session

    During a session: double-click V to add 10 more seconds, or press V once to end early. The session also ends automatically when the timer expires.

  8. 8
    Power off

    Click the V button 5 times to power off. The device vibrates and LEDs cycle off.

Temperature settings

  • Blue — 425°F (lowest, best for flavor-focused sessions)
  • Yellow — 450°F
  • Green — 475°F
  • Purple — 500°F
  • Red — 525°F (highest, densest vapor)
  • Custom temperatures — set via V Browser app at www.focusv.app

LED preferences

Click the V button 3 times to enter LED mode. Press once more to cycle through the available color presets. The last option in the cycle is ghost/stealth mode — all LEDs off for discreet use.

Battery level check

Click the V button 4 times to check your battery level. LED color indicates charge: Green = ~75%+, Blue = ~50%, Yellow = ~25%, Red = ~10% (charge soon). Charge via USB-C at 5V 2A for up to 2 hours.
