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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 4.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean the reclaim catch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I save the reclaim?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Carta 3's removable airpath, worth a spare, Carta 3 only, clean when the draw tightens, soak in alcohol, dry before reuse.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 13.
