So, I have all these snazzy carts I'm filling up with all these marvy flavors I've ordered.

Well, all the carts look the same, basic white. I can't tell which cart has which flavor now without trying them! hahah. I tried writing on them with a Sharpie, but I can't read my own writing half the time, and then the Sharpie ink rubs off pretty shortly! LOL.

I feel so stupid! How do you guys keep straight all your carts? I'm good at organizing, I'm apparently challenged when it comes to labeling!

There have been a few methods tried. Basically, you need to find one that works for you and you will work with. If you are good at color coding the are cart/o caps with different colors. personally if I am going the color route, I buy cheap dental rubber bands (those little ones) that come in a lot of colors and wrap around the cart/o. Unfortunately, my organization skills are not great so I am not good at keeping track of colors and never remember what color is what - I typically use those tiny dental bands and simply attach the cart/o to the nic lic bottle that they are filled with. I have never had any luck with permanent markers or with the Dremel etching that some use. I have heard that people use hair bands as well, which can be purchased anywhere.

Best of luck - you may try these or maybe they will get you thinking about a wya that woudl work for you.

I really like what this guy did with his Leo Carts. I may just have to invest in a Labeler. This looks super sharp.

That's awesome Sissy! I actually had thought of that too. And, now, I might need to think more about it!

I have an idea stiring around in my head right now for something that looks nice, and provides a little extra grip texture too, but I think it would have to involve a hang tag for a label and I'm not loving that quite yet.

I have a long hobby/background in fiber and needle arts... It kind of dawned on me that I might be able to create a "coach whip" or "cockscomb" knot that slips around the battery and/or cart which would provide a grip surface and a place to hang a tag, but I'm not loving the idea of a dangly thingy. But color coding the knots might be a step in the right direction. Might have to play with the idea today.

Wish I could take credit for it :)

Your idea sounds kinda neat. I know they have those Lanyard type things that fit with a Ring in between the battery and device. Something that would fit there would be kinda neat, sort of like a cell phone charm perhaps?

Youll have to post what you come out with, Im not creative in the slightest but love to "ohhh" and "awwwee" at other people's creations.

Ha just for fun, I did make a beaded collar for one carto and attached some jump rings to it for fun so I could in the future attach a lanyard if I felt like it. This is pretty, but not very practical, but it gave me a really good idea for a second attempt at possibly something color coded. I already know what my favorite flavors are and I can color code a collar to represent those flavors... coffee, absinthe and black licorice. :D

I think the next one I try will be a little less dimentional and more flat. This is pretty with the Swarovski crystals but not very practical. I'm pretty surprised by how snug it sits on the cart though, it doesn't slide off very easily!

OH
Great Ideas!!!!!!!! I'm struggling with the same thing so this really helps a lot! Thank you so much!!! I tried a paint marker, which isn't rubbing off. That might work for some. My issue is I keep on mixing flavors being new...

Is there any way to clean cartomizers of all flavors?

Try this: Taste Your Juice | Cleaning Boge 510 LR Cartos

Obviously you might not want to do it if you painted, etc.

i use a lable maker from dymo.. diff colors on plastic labels.. nut, then i say, ill just add ry4 on top of dk, and then 55 on that, then...

so the labels just seem to be another obsessive compulsive behavior for a vapaholic..just like.. if i only had an ego bat and a dual coil... no, if i only had a VV, no i mean a lava tube and a tank.. no a provari and a...no a box mod, yeah, and labels to go on tanks and labels for the batts so i can rotate and extra ego's for the car, and mega carts and wait... a smokemizer... no clear, no,,, awhhh heck i want one of everything with spares....

so, i use a labler sometimes..

sorry got carried away...
