The Electric Dab Rig world is buzzing: Focus V Carta 3 is officially coming July 2025. As industry veterans at TVape with over a decade of experience, we’re breaking down everything revealed so far about this highly anticipated next-generation device. While official specs remain under wraps, leaked details and teasers from Focus V hint this could be the most advanced portable dab rig yet, aiming to surpass the beloved Carta 2 and challenge titans like the Puffco Peak Pro and Utillian 8.
What do we actually know about the unreleased Carta 3? Based on confirmed leaks and Focus V’s recent launch of the budget Carta Sport, we can piece together key insights. Enthusiasts are laser-focused on rumored upgrades like AI temperature control, a sophisticated 3D hybrid heating system, and a vibrant full-color OLED display – features poised to redefine the concentrate vaporizer experience.
In this exclusive Carta 3 preview, we’ll separate confirmed details from educated speculation:
- Carta 3 Release Date & Timeline
- Confirmed & Expected Design Upgrades
- Performance Teasers
While Focus V stays tight-lipped, early evidence suggests the Carta 3 blends cutting-edge innovation with user-friendly practicality. But with no hands-on reviews available, the question remains: Can the Carta 3 truly deliver on its sky-high expectations? Let’s dive deep into the known details and analyze the potential of this groundbreaking E Rig.
Latest Release Date Information
Focus V has confirmed a July 2025 release window for their next-generation flagship, the Carta 3. While exact shipping dates remain unannounced, industry sources confirm manufacturing is scaling toward this target. The launch follows Focus V’s recent introduction of the more budget-friendly Carta Sport, establishing a clear product ecosystem where the Carta 3 occupies the premium “revolutionary upgrade” tier.
An unverified leak suggests pre-orders may open in late Q2 2025 (June-ish), though Focus V hasn’t confirmed this. The July timing coincides with a legal settlement requiring the sunset of previous models, accelerating the transition to their new flagship platform.
What we know today:
- Official Launch Window: July 2025
- Positioning: Premium “revolutionary upgrade” over previous Carta models(including Sport)
Vapor Quality & Temperature Flexibility
While hands-on testing isn’t yet possible, leaked details suggest the Carta 3 could deliver the smoothest portable dab experience.
The key lies in two rumored upgrades:
- Hybrid Heating System
Industry chatter points to a new quartz + ceramic hybrid atomizer – potentially heating 20-30% faster than the Carta 2’s setup. In our opinion, there’s probably going to be a new addition to the Intelli Core Atomizer line that is wider and just holds more wax and possibly can be used with herb(hopefully without needing to switch atomizers) - Optimized Airflow & Cooling
With the release of the Carta Connect, it’s easy to assume that this will also be added to the Carta 3.
Temperature Control: Precision Meets Convenience
Reliable leaks indicate:
- Return of the full-color OLED display for on-device control
- Dual-interface functionality (device + Carta Connect app)
Potential Build Quality of the Carta 3
The Focus V Carta 3 is gearing up to be a significant leap forward in the e-rig world, building on the strengths of its predecessors. While full details are still under wraps, the recently launched Carta Sport gives us a clear picture of what to anticipate from this highly awaited flagship device, expected in July 2025.
One of the most exciting prospects for the Carta 3 is its potential for extended use. The Carta Sport’s impressive 35% larger battery and improved energy efficiency suggest the Carta 3 will offer significantly longer sessions between charges. This is a huge win for anyone tired of their rig dying mid-dab, a common frustration with many older models. If the Sport’s borosilicate glass control stick and durable silicone accents are any indication, the Carta 3 should feel great in your hand – a blend of sleek design and the toughness needed for everyday enjoyment. We would love a completely silicone-isolated airpath to ensure the maximum flavor potential.
A smaller detail is that the Carta 3 will likely have a tinted bubbler. While not immediately a priority for most, tinted bubbles make gunk and residue left over after a few sessions much less noticeable, giving you a few more sessions before needing to clean the bubbler. Units such as the Utillian 8 have proven that users enjoy the extra sessions, so seeing this addition in the new Carta 3 E Rig will be nice.
The new Carta is also set to tackle the age-old problem of reclaim management head-on with the newest Carta Connect removable air path system. This innovative design will let you easily pop out the air path for a quick soak in ISO or even a chill in the freezer, making cleanup a breeze.
Expect even more control and customization with the Carta 3’s likely enhanced Bluetooth connectivity and app integration. Just like with the Carta 2, you’ll be able to fine-tune temperatures and track your sessions right from your phone.
Whispers also suggest the Carta 3 will come with a high-resolution OLED display, providing real-time data like temperature, battery life, and session duration. This aligns with user desires for complete customization, including adjustable brightness and discreet stealth modes that turn off non-essential lights. Especially considering the community’s reaction to the removal of the screen on the Carta Sport, in which Focus V opted to make operation simpler with single-button operation.
Overall Expectations
After launching Carta Sport, Focus V is all set to launch the most awaited Carta 3. It’s a response to a community that craves innovation without compromise. By merging Carta 2’s reliability with cutting-edge upgrades, Focus V is challenging the status quo of the e-rig market. Whichever path you choose, remember: regular maintenance is key to longevity.

The Puffco Peak Pro elevated the bar for those willing to invest, and the Utillian 8 has become a staple in the Budget Premium section. We are curious to see where the Carta 3 will fit in terms of price. From what we have seen its safe to say we are expecting the new Carta Rig to fit somewhere in the top premium section, but we will just have to wait and see.
