Any Simple Method to Keep Track of What Flavor is in Which Carto and Clearo? Help!

I just know.

I usually alternate a couple of flavors every week. I always get black and steel cartos and seperate them that way. I change out my cartos every week so that works fine.

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I have about 15 flavors now and 5 batteries. I have several identical-ish cartos that I put on the batteries. I've been writing on the cartos with a small sharpie lately, but I now have four cartos that are kind of burnt tasting (need refilling) and I can only guess what is in them . So far I have not heard of any way that is not too complicated. My sharpie tends to rub off, a label maker is too complicated, too many flavors for colored dots.... sigh

When I used to use cartos I'd have several on the go, for me the easiest way to tell was just to smell them.

Smell or take a quick vape and taste them.. Other than that, I use different drip tips and try to remember which tip is on which juice.

EDIT: Permanent marker works for a little. It rubs off as you use the carto (screwing it in and unscrewing it) but it works.

I posted this in the Smokeless Image forum where I hang out (being an 808 Volt-style vaper) and received quite a few funny answers, mostly from people just as frustrated as I am. Does anyone have something simple that works? No spreadsheets, no label makers?

Hold the carto up to one nostril, close the other with a finger, and sniff.

That's all it takes, man.

Write on them with your marker then put packing tape over the writing. Problem solved. You SOL with those 4 cartos that need refills, though.

I just simplified my whole setup as this thread got me thinking. I bought $2.00 bead boxes from the Wally World craft department and labeled the little carto size boxes/slots inside... a lot like a fishing tackle lure onebut smaller and more economical.

i got a plastic bin from wally world as well, each individual compartment is just big enough to sit a 5-10ml bottle in with the carto vertical, as for what i take out of the box i use a little fishing lure "hanger" plastic device that has about ten prongs on it that a carto slips on to and it has a base so it doesnt wiggle or fall over and below each flavor i just sit the bottle, for bigger bottles i have caps that the colored paper dots fit perfect right on top of the caps, and each slot on the hanger has a corresponding color dot, i just put that cap on the bottle viola ORGANIZEEEEEDDDDD..... often i just smell em though :\

If you buy the little tiny colored rubber bands that are used for tiny braids in girls hair, you can put one around the bottle of juice and the same color one around your carto or clearo. I tried sharpies and labels, but it made a mess when I was cleaning them. The rubber bands are cheap and they come off easily for cleaning. They come in packs of all different colors. If you run out of colors, you can use two for certain flavors. I know some people use regular rubber bands to attach clearos to the bottle of juice. And I sometimes use small plastic storage boxes to hold my juice and just put the cart with that juice right in the box with it.

Colored tape works wonders.

 

[Unhooked]

I wish I could avoid colored tape or rubber bands on cartos at least while I'm vaping them. I'm using a sharpie but it pretty much rubs off the cartos by the end of a day and right away on the clearos. Wish my sniffer could do the job but I guess its not that good. I guess it is another great reason to settle on just one or two flavors.

i dont have enough stuff to warrant this idea but they sell dry erase boards at walmart etc... take some lumber, a 2x6 would be darn near perfect. stain it, paint it use a router on the edges. generally make it look nice. Then screw it to the dry erase board. Put some dots on your cartos with paint or stickers or something. then get some dry erase markers in the colors of paint you used and write out what flavor is what in the colors you have, matching colors of marker to paint dots on tanks, cartos etc.

you can also buy chalkboard paint and use a piece of plywood and chalk for a unique look.

micro managing, maybe, but still pretty damn organized.

my god man i have the materiels to do this right now!!!! GO GO CRAFT MODE!

eh im pretty creative, i come up with some really interesting ideas. Becauase our house is 108 years old and some of the first floor had "weak spots" i built floor to ceiling shelves, they came out being 2'x2' square.I built them attached to the floor joists in the basement with 2x4's and 3/4" plywood. so now i have shelf space in the workshop and the house has some pretty extreme support

Wife wanted some plant shelves to span the windows in the house. We have a very old home with windows that are a tad over 6 feet tall and nearly 3 feet wide. this is what i came up with

Wrapping Christmas present made me think of the decorative stickers I was using. I saw another thread where a gal used her own art work to wrap her battery with having first made it into a sticky paper. I'm going to start wrapping my cartos in different colored papers that have designs on them just like contact papers do... saw some at Hobby Lobby before I started vaping they were glittery....should be pretty actually. I'll put the same paper on the non-label side of the juice bottle.

Color coded attys. Put a dab of the pencil paint on them and have a pad or small white pad with the flavors. I tried labels and either they don't stay on or stay on too well. I found out the hard why that adding color to the juice is of little use as it will darken over time and it won't work in a metal tank. I'm thinking of coming up with a ring I can place on the battery or tank that you can use a marker or label on.

Great question! I wondered the same thing. I mark mine with a sharpie but it does come off and I have to smell and quess. I think little stickers would be a good idea. Match a small colored sticker and a bottle of juice. Nail polish dab? I don't have an answer but it is a great question.

 

[Unhooked]

Just filled everything. I mark them every time with a sharpie and it is working OK for the white colored V2 cartos. The black SI ones and the Kanga clearos are by smell/guess only. There is a market for a good solution. NOW, oh my gosh, I guess I should be taking my sample bottles and leaving them with the drip top off them for a couple days to let them "steep" or is it weeks. Do you really have to do that to get the good flavor??

Just take a puff!

Or use a label printer. They typically use an adhesive that doesn't leave anything behind.

I just used a plain piece of masking tape cut in half. Not pretty but works.
