CARTA Classic — How to Clean

Regular cleaning keeps your CARTA Classic performing well and prevents error codes caused by residue buildup. Clean every 25–50 sessions or when you notice residue on the connection points.

What you'll need

• 70–90% isopropyl alcohol
• 50% isopropyl wipes
• Silicone or glass container for soaking
• Cotton swabs (Q-tips)
• Paper towels
• Optional: funnel for glass top

Everlast atomizer

1. 1
   Remove and disassemble the atomizer

   Unscrew the atomizer counterclockwise from the base. Remove the silicone bumper and carb cap tether. Separate the atomizer casing, insert, carb cap, and ceramic lid.

2. 2
   Soak in isopropyl

   Place all atomizer components into a container of 70–90% isopropyl alcohol. Set a timer for 5 minutes. If parts are stubborn, submerge the whole assembled atomizer — the isopropyl loosens the reverse threading.

3. 3
   Dry thoroughly

   Remove parts, shake off excess, and dry with a paper towel. Set in a sunny spot for 1–2 hours to purge remaining isopropyl before reassembling.

Glass top

1. 1
   Fill with isopropyl

   Insert a funnel into the mouthpiece, pour isopropyl until it just covers the percs.

2. 2
   Shake and drain

   Stopper the mouthpiece with your finger, shake for 30–60 seconds. Once residue is cleared, pour isopropyl into your soaking container.

3. 3
   Soak and rinse

   Stand the glass upright in the container for 1–5 minutes depending on buildup. Rinse thoroughly with water until all isopropyl is removed.

Base

1. 1
   Clean connection points

   Use a 50% isopropyl wipe on the atomizer port, gold firing pin, and silicone glass connection. Focus on the gold pin — no wax should remain there.

2. 2
   Detail with cotton swabs

   Use a cotton swab with isopropyl to clean inside the atomizer port. Dry completely before reassembling.
