Focus V: Reliable Performance, Honest Pricing

Focus V delivers what matters most in portable concentrate vaporizers: consistent performance, affordable replacement parts, and practical innovation. Their Intelli-Core atomizers cost half what competitors charge ($25-35 vs $60-80) and last just as long – typically 500-800 sessions with proper care.

Why Choose Focus V?

The Carta series showcases smart engineering over marketing hype. Real convection heating through dual titanium coils ensures even vaporization without waste. Temperature sensors in the atomizer itself – not the base – provide accurate heat control from 500°F to 842°F. Removable 18350 batteries mean no downtime, and the modular design makes maintenance simple.

Canadian-Tested Reliability

Focus V units maintain full performance in Canadian winters down to -10°C, unlike competitors that struggle in cold weather. The Carta’s swappable batteries let you keep spares warm, while the compact Aeris fits perfectly in an inner pocket.

Understanding Focus V’s Intelli-Core Technology

Focus V’s Intelli-Core technology represents a legitimate advancement in atomizer design, not just branded heating. The dual titanium coil system with quartz bucket provides true convection-style heating, meaning your concentrates vaporize evenly without hot spots or waste. Unlike conduction-based systems that burn material touching the walls, Intelli-Core atomizers heat air that passes through your concentrate, preserving terpenes and preventing char buildup.

The Intelli-Core atomizer features improved airflow channels and optimized coil placement, reducing draw resistance compared to older atomizer designs. Temperature readings are obtained directly from sensors embedded in the atomizer housing, rather than being estimated from the base unit, providing precise control within 5°F of your target temperature. This sensor placement is why Focus V atomizers maintain consistent performance even as they age, automatically adjusting power delivery to compensate for carbon buildup.

Focus V vs Competition: Real-World Comparison

Atomizer Economics

While Puffco Peak atomizers cost $60–80 and Dr. Dabber Switch induction cups run $50–70, Focus V Intelli-Core atomizers range from $30–90. Based on our sales data from 2019–2025, all three brands’ atomizers last approximately 2–3 months with daily use and abuse (longer when treated with respect). This makes Focus V’s replacement parts 50–60% more economical over a device’s lifetime. Many Focus V users also rebuild their atomizers with $5 coil kits, further extending value.

Haptic Feedback That Actually Helps

The Carta Sport eRig’s vibration patterns serve practical purposes beyond novelty:

• Single pulse: Device powered on
• Double pulse: Target temperature reached
• Triple pulse: Session timer warning
• Long vibration: Error or atomizer issue

This feedback system proves especially useful when using water pipe attachments, where you can’t see the LED indicators.

Frequently Asked Questions About Focus V Products

What’s the difference between the Focus V Carta Sport eRig and the original Carta?

The Carta Sport eRig features an upgraded design with improved portability and the same reliable Intelli-Core atomizer system. Both models share glass attachment compatibility and produce comparable vapor quality. The Sport model includes enhanced durability features and a more compact form factor ideal for travel, while maintaining the four-preset temperature control system that made the original Carta popular.

How long do Focus V atomizers really last?

Based on customer feedback and warranty data spanning 2019–2025, Focus V atomizers typically last 2–3 months with daily use (approximately 500–800 sessions). Proper maintenance extends this significantly:

• Weekly isopropyl alcohol soaks (91% or higher)
• Daily dry cotton swab after each session
• Avoid overloading (rice grain-sized dabs are optimal)
• Run a dry cycle at 500°F weekly to burn off residue. We’ve seen properly maintained atomizers exceed 2000 sessions.

Can Focus V products handle different concentrate consistencies?

Yes, Focus V atomizers excel with various concentrate types. The quartz bucket design handles both solid shatter and liquid live resins equally well. The Carta’s temperature range (500°F–842°F) accommodates:

• Diamonds and sauce: 525–550°F for terpene preservation
• Live resin/rosin: 550–600°F for balanced flavor and vapor
• Shatter/wax: 600–650°F for dense clouds
• Reclaim cleaning: 842°F dry fire cycles

For extremely thick concentrates or direct dabbing, the Saber tool provides nectar collector functionality without loading.

Why did Focus V discontinue the Carta 2?

Following legal disputes with competing manufacturers in mid-2024, Focus V made the strategic decision to discontinue the Carta 2 in July 2025 and refocus on its core product line. The Carta Sport eRig continues the Carta legacy with proven Intelli-Core technology, while the Aeris serves users seeking maximum portability. Existing Carta 2 owners can still find replacement atomizers and parts above.
