If you own a CARTA 2, you've probably been wondering whether the CARTA 3 is worth the jump. It's a fair question. The CARTA 2 is still a great rig, and you've likely built up a collection of glass and accessories around it.

Here's an honest look at what's new, what carries over from your current setup, and who should upgrade now.

The Short Answer

If battery life has ever cut your session short, the CARTA 3 is the biggest upgrade we've made to the CARTA line. It averages 60 dabs per charge, nearly triple the CARTA 2, and your CARTA glass and swivel and silicone kits come with you. The main thing you'll need new is the atomizer, since the CARTA 3 uses the new INTELLI-CORE® 3.

What's New on CARTA 3

Nearly triple the battery life. This is the big one. The CARTA 3 averages 60 dabs per charge, depending on your settings, nearly triple the CARTA 2, so it keeps up with the whole session instead of just the first hour. The CARTA 3 also supports wireless charging.

INTELLI-CORE® 3 atomizer. A redesigned, rounded-bottom chamber improves oil distribution, helps preserve terpenes, and reduces reclaim. Upgraded heating keeps temperatures even across the coil, and a new half-turn connection makes installation easier and more secure.

A bigger, brighter OLED display. Set time and temperature, view your stats, and personalize the screen with themes, your own images, and animated GIF screensavers.

Full silicone shell. No more paint chipping from isopropyl alcohol. The silicone exterior has a soft, non-stick grip and wipes clean.

C3 CONNECT. The removable airpath pulls right out for cleaning and includes a built-in reclaim catch.

Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth. The CARTA 3 adds Wi-Fi for faster pairing and over-the-air firmware updates, along with a rebuilt app that has live temperature graphing, streaks, rankings, and social features.

Built-in speaker. Audio alerts let you know when your rig is ready.

SABER included. Every CARTA 3 comes with a SABER electronic dab tool.

2-year warranty. The CARTA 3 is backed by our best warranty ever.

What Carries Over From Your CARTA 2

Upgrading doesn't mean starting from scratch.

Your CARTA glass. CARTA glass works both ways. Your existing glass, including artist pieces, fits the CARTA 3, and the new smoke C3 glass top fits your CARTA 2.

Your swivel and silicone kits. The CARTA 3 has a new swivel design, but your existing swivel and silicone kits are still compatible.

What You'll Need New

The atomizer. The CARTA 3 works only with the INTELLI-CORE® 3, and earlier INTELLI-CORE atomizers won't fit. The good news is that one comes installed in every CARTA 3, so you're ready to go out of the box. Extra INTELLI-CORE 3 atomizers are sold separately if you like to keep a spare.

Who Should Upgrade Now

• You charge your CARTA 2 more than you'd like. Nearly triple the battery life is the single biggest quality-of-life change in the CARTA 3.
• You care about flavor. The INTELLI-CORE 3's rounded-bottom chamber and upgraded heating are built for better flavor and less reclaim.
• You take your rig out. Longer battery life, a tougher silicone shell, and an upgraded carrying case make the CARTA 3 easier to live with on the go.
• You like to customize. Themes, GIF screensavers, presets, streaks, and rankings make the CARTA 3 the most personal CARTA yet.
• Your CARTA 2 is showing its age. If the paint is chipping or the battery isn't what it used to be, it's a good time to move up.

Who Can Wait

If you mostly dab at home, keep your CARTA 2 near a charger, and are happy with how it performs, there's no rush. Your glass will still be compatible whenever you decide to upgrade.
