Color code your carts.

[Sylann]

While watching some of MistressNomad's helpful videos I saw how she used orthodontic colored rubber bands to put on her carts to keep them organized. Really good idea!!

Unfortunately the link she posted directed you to a site that only had clear bands.

I searched and found some colored ones on Amazon.com.

Can I link what I found exactly here or is that against the rules?

I picked up a bag of 100 for like $6 with shipping.

You can also search Ebay for neon bands braces

I kept losing those down inside my PCC somehow - I may not have had a small enough size for my first skinny ecig. I ended up switching to little vinyl stick-on map dots which have so far stayed on.

I like the stick on map dots idea too. Either is better than using colored magic markers.

Where to get map dots?

 

[N2rock]

map dots don't work (there is another thread about it somewhere). But yeah, the curvature of the cartos doesn't allow the map dots to stick for long.

I like this idea. I once made a point of marking a little circle on my atomizers with the idea that I wanted to 'revolve them' and not inadvertently continue using the same one all day and night.
I never thought of cartridges having some kind of colour codes but there is another thing the industry might even want to consider as a standard practice too.

But I like this idea of DIY for whatever your own purpose. I have white and black ones and just for my own personal whim and convenience I put menthol in whites and 'everything else' in blacks.

Personally, I don't care too much about matching colours with the gear though I suppose thats a consideration for many too.

Does anybody sell prefilled marked cartomizers? I like the DIY, but just wondering. . .

fracicio-the video's on youtube-- mistressnomad's series is called something like "ecigs for broke people" and she really does a good job.

esmkr--v4l does pre-filled 808 cartomizers in tons of colors. I'm sure other vendors do too, but that's the first that popped into my head

Let me google that for you

I buy the sampler pack from V4L, they come in different colors and I keep the cart next to the juice I am using it with. I keep everything in a cash box so even my juice stays separated. But the rubber band idea is good too because I may not be buying these variety color cartomizers anymore.

I have a PTouch labeler. I use the small font -> print the label -> trim the label right along the printed text -> attach the label to my carto. They stay stuck and I can tell them apart. My labeler also does some icons, such as cherries. I only wish it offered white text on black tape so they would blend in with black cartos better, but the black on white would blend well with white cartos and the black on silver works well for my silver cartos.

I loved MistressNomad's orthodontic band idea, but if you are an ADD vaper, then you have to do as she did and keep a running list of what color (or color combination) goes with what flavor. No key needed when I use my labeler.

There is a sticky post in this forum:

The colored rubber bands aren't available here.

I use paint-pens (about $4 each at Wally-World). They're as easy to use as a marker but the paint lasts practically forever, and yet you can soak it in iso alc and scrub it off if need be.

I have a little v-block (a block of metal with a deep 'v' cut into it). Just lay the carto in the v, hold the pen to it, turn the carto, and you get a neat line.

I got my colored rubber bands on Ebay. They are for babies/small children in various colors. I also put the same colored rubber band on the juice bottle. That way there is nothing to write down. This works great for me.

 

[loden813]

very smart Soonerfan! Like that idea!

I like using the little vitamin sized ziplocks to mark all the different cartomizers/cartridges with flavor/strength/expiration date/base liquid etc...

 

[Zal42]

I got a grab-bag of colored Goody rubber bands in the hair aisle at my supermarket. They come in various sizes in the package, and I just double-loop the ones that are too big.

Yes, this is how I keep track of the colors, too.

Me too! I just jot down what each color is the flavor on the back of my business card and that goes inside my little case.

found a bottle of white out did the trick on the 510's Just a tiny white dot, Once dry i used markers to colour each one of those dots according to flavor. =D Black for licorice, yellow for honey and kept it white for the icecream.
