Has anyone come up with a brilliant carto storage schema? I run Boge 510 LR cartos and I'm having trouble coming up with a method to store one or two cartos of one particular flavor in a way that I can mark the flavor on them. Writing on the plastic condems they come in doesn't work.
Carto storage and labeling?

I use 1/2" x 1 3/4" Avery return address labels....big enough to write on and they are long enough to wrap all the way around the carto onto themselves so they don't come unstuck. They last as long as the carto, until I wash them.....
I've been using the little bright colored silicone hair bands they are cheap ($1 or $2) and they look like a stripe or a couple of stripes on your carto. Then I put the same around the cap of my juice. I am still looking for the perfect way to store them all. 
I guess I have it easy. After trying probably 50-60 flavors, there are only 2 I use on a regular basis now. So for Wyatt Earp I use black cartos and for Hopscotch I use silver cartos.
I am still looking for the perfect way to store them all.
I'm still looking for a good way of coding them (using sharpie on the condom), but I'm pleased with the storage I'm using. I got an old cigar box and put the tray from a box of bullets in there. If you've never seen them, this is a plastic tray with 50 holes (5x10) to hold bullets in a box. 9mm fits my cartos without the condom and larger caliber fits them with the condom. It makes it easy to organize and group. If I end up needing more than 50 I can easily add another tray to the cigar box.
If you're not a shooter, just ask around and find someone who is. They're probably throwing these trays away (I was before vaping). As for a cigar box, any cigar store will sell (or maybe give you) a nice cedar cigar box for about $2.
The box also leaves me room for juices, blanks and some misc supplies.
Great ideas so far. Keep 'em coming. I just finished using some Avery labels on the cartos but didn't wrap them all the way so they stick on themselves. I missed that part of the above post until I re-read it. We'll see how long they last. Thank you
I have a pen that writes on simple scotch tape. I'll make a little tab on the end of the tape and mark the flavor, then wrap the rest of the tape around the carto as soon as I'm done with it. I have to do it each time, but it's only scotch tape. I have plenty of that.
I was using the rubber bands but I didn't like it, so now I am using sticky labels. I use a hole puncher to punch out small holes and mark them with a number and have a card with that number stating what it is. You can also buy colored sticky spots, use it to color code or write on them. You will need to replace them after while but it works.
Until I come up with something better, I use a muffin tin. Put the bottle and cartos in each tin. I put a little label in each tin and put a dab of nailpolish on the bottle and the carto. Pink for watermelon, peach for peach, etc.
I've been using the tiny ziplock baggies from Walgreens...i think they're for holding a day's medications, but it works well for a carto and small bottle of juice. it's got a place to write on the front (like a freezer bag does) and they're pretty cheap
