🧠 Our Verdict

Strong recommendation for every Carta 3 owner. It is a small price for a rig that is never out of service for cleaning. It fits the Carta 3 only; earlier Cartas use Focus V's earlier Carta Connect instead.

Quick Summary

On the Carta 3, Focus V redesigned the airpath, the channel that carries vapor from the atomizer up into the glass, as a part you can pull out. Focus V calls it the C3 Connect. It has a built-in reclaim catch, so the sticky concentrate that used to coat the inside of a rig collects in one place. Pop it out to clean on your schedule, or swap in a spare and keep going.

Focus V Carta 3 Connect – The Removable Airpath for the Carta 3

Reclaim has to go somewhere. On the Carta 3, it goes here. Every dab leaves a little concentrate behind in the airpath. On a rig with a fixed airpath it builds up where you cannot reach it, the draw gets tight, and the cleanup is a project. The Carta 3 moves all of that into one removable part with a built-in reclaim catch.

A spare changes the routine. With one C3 Connect, cleaning means stopping. With two, you pull the dirty one, drop it in alcohol, and push the clean one in. The rig never goes out of service, and the soaking part gets as long as it needs.

The black C3 Connect matches the black Focus V Carta 3 Kit. See the rest of the lineup in our Focus V Collection.

Summary: A pull-out airpath with a reclaim catch that keeps the Carta 3 clean and lets a spare swap in while one soaks.

⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For

Ideal For:

• Carta 3 owners who want a spare airpath to rotate.
• Anyone replacing a worn or damaged C3 Connect.
• Daily dabbers who would rather swap than wait on a soak.

Not Recommended For:

• Aeris owners. Look at the Aeris Silicone Essentials Kit for Aeris spares.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Carta 3 only. Earlier Carta devices use the earlier Carta Connect.
• It still needs cleaning. The reclaim catch collects concentrate; it does not make it disappear.

Summary: Carta 3 fit only, a part you still clean, and one to handle cool.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

What is the C3 Connect?

The C3 Connect is the airpath of the Focus V Carta 3, the channel vapor travels through from the Intelli-Core 3 atomizer up into the glass top. On the Carta 3, Focus V made it removable, so it pulls straight out for cleaning. It also has a built-in reclaim catch that collects excess concentrate so it stays out of the rest of the rig.

Why buy a spare C3 Connect?

So cleaning never stops a session. When the reclaim catch fills and the draw tightens, pull the used one out, drop it in isopropyl alcohol, and push the spare in. The Carta 3 is back in service in seconds, and the dirty one can soak for as long as it needs. It is also the replacement if yours wears or gets damaged.

Does it fit the Carta 2 or Carta Sport?

No. The C3 Connect is a Carta 3 design. Earlier Carta devices, including the Carta 2 and Carta Sport, use Focus V's earlier Carta Connect instead. It works with the Carta 3's Intelli-Core 3 atomizer below and with Carta glass above, including the Carta 3 Glass and earlier Carta glass tops that fit the Carta 3.

When should I clean it?

Whenever the draw starts to feel tight, which is the sign the reclaim catch is filling. Higher temperatures and bigger dabs fill it faster. With a spare on hand, the easy routine is to swap every time you clean the glass, so both parts get cleaned together and nothing builds up long enough to harden.

How do I clean the reclaim catch?

Let the C3 Connect cool, then soak it in isopropyl alcohol until the reclaim loosens. A cotton swab or pipe cleaner helps clear the catch and the channel. Rinse it under warm water and let it dry completely before it goes back into the Carta 3. Never put a wet C3 Connect back in the device.

Can I save the reclaim?

The reclaim catch exists to collect excess concentrate in one place, which makes it easy to remove. You can simply clean it away. If you want to recover it, warm the part gently, scrape the catch with a dab tool like the Focus V Saber, and use it soon. Clean the C3 Connect fully afterward.

Summary: The Carta 3's removable airpath, worth a spare, Carta 3 only, clean when the draw tightens, soak in alcohol, dry before reuse.
