This makes using the Carta 2 so much easier than the OG Carta. Where the Intelli-Core atomizer offers better vapor quality, the base of the Carta 2 is upgraded with an OLED screen which shows temperature, session timer, battery life and mode (herb or oil). It sounds like you are getting a better base and atomizer with the Focus V Carta 2 so this really is an upgrade, but you are paying for it. In fact the chamber is now trade marked as Intelli-Core™ which promises 360 degree heating and consistency on par with a quartz banger. The chamber is also 4mm larger (14mm total) in diameter from the Carta V2’s 10mm chamber. At most, you might need a dab of rubbing alcohol every now and then to remove stains. Even after a long session, you can wipe it out with just a cotton swab. This new chamber is made from a glazed ceramic that’s exceptionally easy to clean.
#FOCUS V CARTA UPGRADE#
The most significant upgrade is the Intelli-Core™ atomizer. The housing itself has a similar shape, although it’s more contoured for a more comfortable grip, and it has a rubberized silicone coating.
#FOCUS V CARTA INSTALL#
If you already own a Carta, you’ll have a spare glass ready to install from day one. This is actually good news, since the glass is the most likely thing to break. In fact, the glass hasn’t been changed at all. In terms of its physical shape, the Focus V Quantum is very similar to the OG Carta V2 but more sleek and appealing to the eye at the same time. The Carta 2 was dubbed the Quantum in beta testing. And it’s been upgraded with USB Type-C charging, so you can expect it to charge significantly faster. Then again, you’re most likely looking at a similar battery life as the CFX, around 90 minutes.

This was disappointing, since we really would have liked to see some removable batteries. We can say for sure that it’s battery is internal, just like the original’s. The CFX+ is currently a prototype, so we weren’t able to get any firm data on the battery life or our opinion of the vapor quality. There’s no divot on the current design, so you’ll find that you have a much better loading and cleaning experience. Debris would often get stuck there, and required a lot of work to clean out. So similar from what you have come to expect from the trusty CFX.Īnother complaint with the original CFX was the little divot in the chamber. Regardless, it heats up in only 20 seconds, and is said to be consistent throughout the session. As for the temperature settings, you get a range of 100☏ to 430☏, just like the original CFX. The new CFX+ mouthpiece is said to provide bigger clouds than the original mouthpiece, so maybe we have a new contender for vaporizers that are alot like smoking. The 100% Zirconia mouthpiece is why the Davinci IQ2 Vaporizer gives you better vapor than the Davinci IQC, which has a polymer mouthpiece. This helps to cool the vapor faster and give it a better flavor. The CFX+ mouthpiece isn’t just magnetized and easy to store it’s also been upgraded with a zirconia lining. This isn’t just great for providing smooth vapor – it’s also easier to clean. Speaking of the herb chamber, both the chamber and the funnel have been upgraded with a new ceramic design. It snaps satisfyingly into place, and pops out with minimal effort when your session is finished. To ensure that it stays securely in place, the upgraded mouthpiece has been magnetized. The CFX+ has an integrated mouthpiece, which stores under the top panel when it’s not in use. However, it can also flip open by mistake in your pocket or backpack, which exposes it to potential damage.

It had a swiveling design, which is convenient and easy to use. One of the few complaints about the original CFX was the design of the mouthpiece. Whereas Storz & Bickel didn’t change much with the Mighty+ upgrade, Boundless has gone the opposite route and given the CFX+ a total design makeover. Thanks to a new grooved exterior, it fits more comfortably in your hand, and you’re less likely to drop it. This makes it a little more pocket-friendly, and it’s also easier to grip. To begin with, the CFX+ is about an inch shorter, at 4 inches high, 2.5 inches wide, and an inch thick.

However, the profile and form factor are significantly different. The Boundless CFX+ is constructed from a similar black plastic to the original CFX.
