Focus V Carta Sport vs Puffco Proxy: Powerhouse Meets Design Rig
What is this matchup about?
Away from the Peak class, the real portable race is on: compact e-rigs you actually take with you. Focus V brings the Carta Sport (2025), the sporty edition of its Carta line with a big battery. Puffco counters with the Proxy, relaunched in 2025: a modular pipe-shaped rig whose base pairs with different glass attachments.

Two rows decide this matchup: battery and warranty. The rest is a matter of taste, and that is what we look at next.
Battery: the Carta Sport pulls ahead
The Focus V leads on battery: the Carta Sport packs 2700 mAh. Reviews put the Proxy at about 1680 mAh, and Puffco itself publishes no capacity. That gives the Carta roughly 60 percent more. According to both manufacturers, each device can be used on the charging cable, so a flat battery does not force a break with either. If you plan long evenings or several rounds, the Carta Sport still gives you more reserve.
Design and ecosystem: the Proxy’s case
Why pick the Proxy at all? Because it is designed differently. The tech unit is a compact base that sits in the included glass pipe. It pairs just as well with other attachments from the Puffco range, and according to Puffco every Proxy base fits every Proxy glass piece. One device becomes several: a pipe, a water filtration piece or unusual glass art, depending on the top.
The Proxy is shaped like a pipe.
Temperature and warranty: one point each
On temperature, the Carta Sport’s concentrate presets reach up to 335 °C, while the Proxy tops out at 285 °C on its highest setting. Both cover the usual dab ranges. If you like to dab very hot, the Carta Sport gives you more headroom.
Puffco leads on warranty: 2 years on the electronic base (the chamber is covered for 6 months, glass is excluded), while Focus V gives 1 year. For devices in this price class with a heavily used heating chamber, that is no side issue, and the second year of cover is a real plus.

The verdict: which one should you buy?
Take the Carta Sport if performance matters most to you: the bigger battery and the higher temperature range make it the stronger everyday device, especially for long sessions and spontaneous rounds.
Take the Proxy if you care about form and expandability: the modular pipe concept with its glass ecosystem and the second warranty year on the base are what it has to offer.
