The best-selling Focus V Carta V2 Electric Dab Rig is equipped with the latest technology the smoking industry has to offer.

Focus V Carta Not Turning On

If you’re having problems turning your Focus V Carta on, chances are the battery may be to blame.

Troubleshooting a new Focus V Carta:

  • Make sure you charge your new Carta unit (using the included charger) for two hours before use.
  • Check if the battery caps have been removed.
  • Check for any material, dust, or damage that may be causing the interruption of energy flow.

Troubleshooting a used unit:

  • Check for any dust, material, or damage.

Focus V Carta Not Heating Up

If your Focus V Carta is on but not heating up, the atomizer may be the issue.

Blinking blue LEDs indicate the unit is in the process of heating up. When the LEDs turn green, it’s ready.

Troubleshooting the Focus V Carta’s atomizer:

  • Check the connection of the wire between the atomizer and the metallic part of the atomizer. The atomizer shouldn’t be screwed on too tightly, as this may cause connectivity issues and heating problems.
  • If the atomizer is properly placed and there are no connection issues, check the atomizer itself for any material, dust, or damage that may be causing the problem.

Maximizing the Use of Your Focus V Carta

The Bluetooth capability of this dab rig makes for a smooth smoking experience. When you’ve finished troubleshooting your Focus V Carta and you’re ready to use it, here are a few essential tips:

  • Place your product in the quartz insert. Focus V advises using no more than 0.2–0.3 grams.
  • Turn on the app and set the unit’s temperature between 700° to 720° F.
  • Take a long, slow hit with a small to medium load. The Carta is not designed for gram dabs!
  • Important: do not overload the unit, as performance may suffer and cleaning will be more difficult.
  • Clean the unit with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab between each use or between users.

How to Clean Your Focus V Carta

In addition to troubleshooting your Focus V Carta, the key to reducing issues is to keep the Everlast atomizer and other vape parts clean every time you use it. If the atomizer isn’t clean or is too full of concentrate, the Carta does not recognize that it is attached and won't heat up. Here’s a video showing how to clean the Carta Atomizer.

Just paid $250 and it won’t work. Heats up slightly and then does nothing. I’ve wiped it clean and changed the bucket but still nothing. Such a disappointment. Can someone please help me figure this out? It’s brand new. So frustrating!

So i’ve had my carta rig for awhile now. I’ve cleaned it multiple times and i cant even load the batteries without all the leds shining a bright green like its ready to hit. But no heat. Even when powered down.

I see I’m not alone. This product is a huge waste of $250. Mine will not turn on as well after charging for 2.5 hours. I wouldn’t recommend. I wish I would have seen that tons of customers are having the same exact issue before the recommended purchase.

Got a new Carta, couldn’t figure out why when we plugged it in for its first charge, it was flashing and vibrating. This page helped me figure out that the batterie caps were still on. 😂

Thanks! Problem solved.

Same issue here, this thing has never really worked, now it won’t heat up even though it flashes green likes it’s ready…from the net it seems there are defective units with bad software that they need to replace…looking for customer support number now…

I bought a Carta Focus V yesterday. The first time I used it I got a decent hit, but now it won’t heat up. I click 5x to turn it on but when I click to change temp it vibrates for a moment the lights turn blue, flash once, turn green and flash 4x and then (i assume) goes into standby. It never heats up. I tried scouring the internet, I checked the batteries, the connections, checked the atomizer, I fully charged it. I’m at a standstill, and pretty disappointed so far. Please advise.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
