Hi everyone! New vaper here. :)

[Carto-Miser]

Hey y'all. I've been off analogs and have been happily vaping for a month and a half. So far I've just been lurking, and resisting the urge to ask annoying newbie questions, but I figured I'd pop in and show my hideous face (and say hi.)

Also wanted to share something. I've been trying out a bunch of flavors and quickly came to realize that I was losing track of which e-liquid was in which cartomizer, tank etc. So I devised a little sticker labeling system for myself. Here's a pic. The top right is a 2-letter abbreviation of the company's name, lower right is the nicotine amount, and then an icon on the left to represent the flavor. Hoping to find some more new juices that warrant their own stickers.

This is a brialliant system! how did you print these out?

 

[shadun77]

Cool idea!!

 

[Boudreaux]

Excellent system you have! Welcome to EFC!

 

[Carto-Miser]

Thanks! The local print shop had sticker paper, so I had them print me a couple of sheets of stickers. Won't be hard to do from home once I buy some supplies.

 

[restatelady]

Great idea! I am using different colored cartos and colored end caps now and honestly what a mess! I have no idea half the time what juice is in which carto.

 

[superstardj]

Welcome good idea on the stickers!

 

[Dana A]

I am so glad I use just one flavor 99% of the time

 

[Mroutlaw]

I use the brother label printer. It's actually on sale for $20 at staples.

Added a new sticker: Gamel by AVE juices. So far I'm 3/3 on liking juices I've tried from them. (Boba's, Gorilla Juice and Gamel.)

 

[Sidney Rehg]

That is a fantastic idea! I may have to make a run to staples.

 

[dreamer902]

Hello and welcome,,also thats a great idea..i may have to try that also.

 

[aurea]

Well dang that beats the heck out my scotch tape with an abbreviation

Fantastic idea and welcome!

 

[Jason_ESV]

Nice! Is that character on the bottom right had corner from Katamari?!

 

[Carto-Miser]

No but wow, just googled it and that character looks really similar, haha! It's actually supposed to be "Tingle" from Zelda.
(the flavor is "Mint Tingle" from Virgin Vapors.) I'm a nerd....

Quick thread jack ... how does the Gamel taste compared to the real cigarette version? Friend of mine smokes full flavor camel menthol and is mildly interested in PVs. I'm sure initially I'll need to find him a good enough tasting clone initially.

 

[Carto-Miser]

Hmm, I'd say it's definitely worth a try. There's a couple of things about Gamel that are holding it back from becoming a go-to flavor for me, a former Camel lights smoker. Here are my thoughts on it:

1. I found that the throat hit was kinda so-so. Much less intense than Boba's Bounty (also from Alien Visions.) Weird, because several of the reviews on their site mention good throat hit for Gamel. Could just be my batch was weak? Mine is 12 mg, so you could def. up the nicotine for more TH, but my Boba's and Gorilla Juice are also 12 mg and they pack more of a punch.

2. The taste is nice--but its really subtle. There's not a taste so much as a Camel-y essence. That's why I like it. So far this is the closest I've found to a real cigarette for taste. Not sweet, not cloying. But I want it to be more intense.

3. Your friend smokes camel menthols, but Gamel is not a menthol flavor. You may want to look and see if there are any menthol + tobacco review threads and see what people are saying. Getting the right menthol feel may be a whole new challenge... But I would definitly keep Gamel on your list if you're planning to order some samples for your friend to try. Couldn't hurt.

I just ran into this tonite. Just got my riva or ego or whatever it is. Started filling some cartos, and thought, how am I going to be able to tell which is which. Tried writing on them with a silver sharpie, that got smudgy, which is good cuz it'll come off later. I had some Avery address label stickers and wrote on them the name of the juice, and where I got it. They didn't want to stick, but a bit of packing tape around fixed that.
