How do you keep track of what flavor is in which cart?

[jmvallee]

I've been busy experimenting with new DIY flavors and having a blast!
However, I find myself with 10+ carts and then not being able to tell exactly what I put in them. (my sense of smell hasn't returned quite yet - lol)

Anyone have a system they developed to keep track of their filled carts?

I would love to have carts in different colors!!!

I buy the tiny ziplock bags from the craft store (you can probably find them at Wal-mart if your Wal-mart has a craft section) and write on them with a permanent marker what the cart has in it. A friend of mine uses nail polish, different color dots on the cart, but I'd have trouble remembering what color represents what type of flavor .

Funny.. I bought some yesterday!! I already keep a Sharpie with my mixing stuff & write the receipe on my bottles.

I use the little ziplock bags too. I put a piece of paper in the bag for identification. On that piece of paper I put a sticker (either a nail applique or some other small sticker that you get for scrapbooking and the like). Then on the corresponding cart, I put the same sticker.

I had thought about labeling the cart... first thought was writing on small piece of masking tape - LOL. Dorky look though!!

Like your idea of very small stickers! Thanks!

Any other suggestions?

I would love to have carts in different colors!!!

My PCC carries five carts, plus the one on the e-cig itself. I actually do use different colors (and positions) to keep track:

Back row of PCC, left to right: tan carts = JC original, then JC boosted with VG and vodka, then Tennessee Cured
Front row: black carts = Black Cherry, then Espresso
Floater (takes the place of whichever one I'm vaping so I know where it goes when I'm done: white cart = Chocolate Truffle

I also have blue carts on the way, so I'll have to figure out how to mix those in. There are pink ones available, too, but I'm not big on pink.

My big problem arises when all my new flavors show up. ;-)

Just went to Michael's (arts & craft shop) and found itty-bitty white letters on black background alphabet stickers for my carts. "M" is for menthol, "A" is for Apple, "V" is for Vanilla...
$2.99 for 468 stickers - upper and lower case- each is 1/4" wide x 3/8" long (approx)

I use metallic paint pens, and write on the part of the cart that fits into the atty..works great! I sometimes use nail art stickers, put identical stickers on the cart and the bottle. Then of course I top off with whatever is handy and end up getting them all mixed up and confused anyway!!!!!!

I use finger nail polish- different colors for flavors and only use 1 atty for each flavor- Also different combos mean different flavors- pink/white- white/ pink- red/pink and so on

Also the dots are used for proper cart alignment- search - pink dot attomizer alignment- IMO- cart alignment is the most over looked/ or not believed it makes a differance- tip out there

Plastic part bins come in really handy, and I've found they are a great way to separate carts, and store other parts as well. Easy to label and keep track of everything. Just a small sticker over each compartment and you know what's in it. They're inexpensive, easy to use, come in many different sizes, and can be picked up at a bunch of different stores.

Buttercrunch - love your avatar! Care to share some info on he/she?

(Sorry for the off topic post!)

Nekkid, his name is Joe, from Wynwood Ranch Mastiffs. he's pure, perfect love. all 210 pounds of him! I completely adore him... aren't Mastiffs are the best dogs in the world? (except for all the flying slobber) OMG, your dog looks just like one of Joe's buddies named Otis!!!


EZ, I have an organizer box too, I really like it for keeping all my bottles in one place it helps a lot as long as I don't take too many out at a time. I need to get them labeled!!!

I too have purchased them little gems from Walmart. I have 2 of them - one for home & one for travel. LOL -I outgrew the first one I bought almost immediately.

Darn my recharger jut died while on a trip.. good thing I have my PCC.

Update on the alphabet stickers I bought earlier. May not last -glue is not very substantial. Will try the metallic paint pens.

Buttercrunch,

My "big boy" is only 120lbs! He's often confused for a great dane b/c he's tall but fairly skinny. He's half mastiff half lab so he hardly drools!!!
His mom (the mastiff) was a breeds dog who was neglected when she got pregnant from a lab. When she was rescued she was pregnant with 13 puppies (9 survived) and only weighed 110lbs. Now she's back up to 170lbs and doing great!

Mastiffs are the BEST dogs (even accounting for their size and the issues that causes - I love watching the "hallway 3-point turns!).

The foster home where my guy was born has a 220lb Champion (see attached pic if it works).

As you can see, my guy is MUCH skinner (his pic is from 2009 Calendar Preview where he is "Mr. May")

Anyway, thanks for the response.....we now return to the originally scheduled thread topic....

Nice dogs!

I'm constantly switching flavors because my taste buds haven't fully recovered yet from 41 years of smoking analogs (and possibly never will). So - There are typically six 801 pen styles fully loaded by my side. I use different color attys for the different flavors. Red is for cherry, blue is for grape, woodgrain is for caramel, etc.

i'm a huge dog lover!
oh my gosh rave!!! where did you get that case, it's just exactly what I've been looking for!

 

[Moonflame]

The case is a Case Logic USB card holder. I use one too and I love it. I can keep about 8 3 ml bottles of juice on one side since I never can decide what I might want during the day, plus batteries and attys on the other. They have them online, or if you're not patient enough to wait for that (like me) you can find them at Office Max and Office Depot for $7.

 

[MastiffMike]

You also can get that case from Walmart for $6 (if I remember correctly). There's another thread I'd run across a couple weeks ago where people posted pics of that case with custom foam inserts they'd made for it (that thread is why I went to Walmart and got one!). I haven't had time yet to customize mine yet but I'll post pics if it turns out nicely.

There even was a poster who had laser cut his foam and was offering to cut some for other forum members (back in Feb. I believe?) but I don't know what ever came of it as it was before me time.
