Learn how to install and enjoy the Charcoal Pura Smart Scent Refill Set of 2 in your Pura diffuser. Step-by-step guide with tips for optimal performance.
Quick answer
Snap the two 10mL Charcoal vials into your Pura Smart Diffuser, pair with the app, and set your preferred schedule for a rich cedarwood and smoky amber scent.
Why the Charcoal refill stands out
The Charcoal fragrance is a customer favorite for its broody, full-bodied blend of cedarwood, sandalwood, and smoky amber with oud. It fills larger rooms without being overpowering, making it a versatile choice for living areas or entryways.
Each set includes two 10mL vials, giving you roughly twice the runtime of a single refill. Since the Pura diffuser holds two vials, you can run Charcoal in both ports for a stronger throw or mix it with another scent for a custom blend.
What you need before starting
You'll need a Pura Smart Diffuser (sold separately) and the Pura app installed on your phone. The Charcoal Refill Set of 2 is designed exclusively for Pura devices—it won't work with other diffusers.
Make sure your diffuser is plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. The app will guide you through pairing if it's your first time.
Step-by-step installation guide
- Remove the old refills: Unplug your Pura diffuser and pull out any existing fragrance vials from the top ports. Dispose of empty vials properly. Common mistake: leaving old vials in can cause clogs. Always remove them before inserting new ones.
- Insert the Charcoal vials: Take both 10mL Charcoal vials from the set. Remove the rubber caps and snap each vial firmly into a port until you hear a click. The diffuser will automatically recognize the fragrance. Check that the vials are seated flush; an unseated vial may leak or not be detected by the app.
- Set your schedule in the app: Open the Pura app, select your diffuser, and choose the Charcoal scent. Adjust the intensity (1-10) and set a schedule—for example, run it during the day or only in the evening. The app lets you control each port independently. Start with intensity 4-5 to gauge the throw; you can always increase it later.
- Monitor refill levels: The app shows the remaining oil level for each vial. When a vial runs low, you'll get a notification. Replace both vials at the same time for consistent performance. Don't wait until the scent fades completely—swap vials when the app shows 10% or less to avoid dry runs.
