The AERIS is Focus V's answer to a simple problem: how do you carry CARTA-level dabs without being tied to a wall? It's a pocket-sized electronic rig built around a swappable battery, so when the pack runs low you drop in a fresh one and keep going — no cord, no downtime, no waiting for a recharge at a festival or a friend's backyard. Focus V has spent years refining the CARTA platform, and the AERIS distills that engineering into something you can palm and pocket without babying it.
What sets it apart from the wave of throwaway concentrate pens is that it's a real rig — full-sized atomizer, glass-quality airflow, and temperature control — shrunk down instead of watered down. Two clicks set your dab in motion, the same muscle memory CARTA users already know.
Specs
- Atomizer: Intelli-Core for Oil, with 360-degree heating and a full-sized chamber. The atomizer is cross-compatible with other Focus V devices, so it slots into the broader ecosystem.
- Temperature range: 365–600°F with customizable presets, so you can dial in a low-temp flavor pull or push the heat for bigger clouds.
- Battery: a swappable battery pack — pull a drained cell and load a charged one to keep sessions running through a concert or a long night out. A charging dock and USB-C passthrough charging are available separately.
- Build: stainless steel wrapped in a durable silicone outer shell, with a magnetic mouthpiece that seats on a ceramic insert.
- Airflow: two subtle carb caps on the mouthpiece let you throttle airflow velocity — tighter for flavor, wider for vapor.
- Smart features: RGB lighting, reactive heating, one-button operation, wireless charging, and Focus V app connectivity with XP and leaderboards.
- In the box: AERIS device, Intelli-Core for Oil, swappable battery pack, magnetic mouthpiece with ceramic insert, shoulder carrying bag, dust cap, dab swabs, dab tool, Focus V app access, and a USB-C cable.
- Price: $199.
The AERIS is for the concentrate user who's outgrown disposable pens but doesn't want to haul a desktop setup or a torch-and-nail kit to every session. If you go to shows, travel, or just move between rooms and don't want to be tethered to an outlet, the swappable battery is the whole pitch — you're never one dead charge away from the session ending.
It's also a strong pick for anyone already in the Focus V/CARTA world who wants a portable that shares atomizers with their gear. The two-carb-cap airflow makes it flexible for both flavor-chasers running low temps and cloud people who want to open it up.
Most portable e-rigs make you choose: real performance or pocketability. The AERIS refuses the tradeoff by pairing a full-sized Intelli-Core atomizer with 360-degree heating in a shell you can actually carry, then solving the one thing that kills portables — battery life — with a hot-swappable pack instead of a fixed cell you have to nurse.
The 365–600°F preset range is wide enough to cover the whole spectrum from terp-forward sips to heavy pulls, and the stainless-and-silicone build is made to survive being tossed in a bag. Cross-compatibility with other Focus V atomizers means the money you put into the platform keeps working across devices. At $199 it undercuts a lot of the flagship rig field while still bringing smart features — reactive heating, RGB, app XP — that make it feel current rather than gimmicky.
Focus V built its name on the original CARTA, one of the devices that pulled dabbing out of the torch-and-banger era and into something you could do on a couch without a blowtorch on the coffee table. The AERIS reads like the natural next move: take that credibility and make it mobile.
The swappable-battery idea speaks directly to how concentrate culture actually lives now — at festivals, in parking lots before shows, on trips where a wall outlet isn't guaranteed. The app layer with XP and leaderboards is a nod to a younger, online-native crowd that treats their gear like a platform, not just a tool. It's hardware built for people who dab in the world, not just at home. (21+. Concentrate hardware only — bring your own material.)
