Now that I'm getting a good stockpile of different juices, I'm interested in hearing some suggestions for labeling my cartomizers.
How do you label them?

How do you label your re-filled cartos?

I was thinking about this myself while I wait for my liquids to arrive. I think I am going to run to Staples and get some multi-colored sticky dots. Small ones. I will label my menthol like liquids with a green dot and put an identical dot on my cart. Hopefully I can start tomorrow.
That's what my hubby does...sort of....bought some colored labels and he wraps them around the cart....
Hello Trogg,
I have been labeling the plastic covers with a sharpie marker, that way my cato stays nice and clean. I also use my different colors for similar flavors, like my peach and red colors I use for my bakery flavors, my dark colored cartos are my coffee flavors.
I'm not into the tobacco flavors that much, mostly the bakery & coffee ones.
My sister uses dots of nail polish on her filters...then she keeps a chart on which colored dot is which flavor.
Good Luck...
Keep on Vapin'

If you know anyone who installs cabling, look them up. Self laminating cable labels work great when cut into ~1/8" strips. I have had these stay on through boiling and cleaning.
You can get the weekly pill organizers at the dollar tree for a buck! Just take 1 in with you to make sure they will fit in them! then you can just tape a little label to the lid! Ours are 2 a day organizers...14 slots...paid $1!
I've used colored rubber bands to associate cartomizers with different flavor bottles. A supplier called vapography.com sells colored bands that fit the cartos also, and I've used those. Most of the time I'm too lazy and when I pick up a cart it's a suprise!
I just have a surprise every time :-/ now y'all got me thinking about doing that. I'm at least using see through tank carts, so sometimes I can guess better then others, except I don't wash them out between fillings, so they all start to take on that brown color that's left in my carts after I'm done with them. Either surprise, or I try to fill all 5 clear ones with the same flavor, then if I get bored I can suction it out and put something else in it, I do have 5 blue carts too, but am now realizing that I haven't used them, or the atty associated with them in 3 days, must have been a juice I hated in one of those carts, this labeling thing seems like a wise idea I should try, I like the pill bottle idea the best. Thanks.
I was using little neon rubber bands meant for braces (I got them on Ebay) but they would shift and once one ended up inside my PCC. Now I am trying little vinyl colored map dots. Some use paint pens or nail polish. Some use labels. Some put the label or marking on the condom.
I love all these ideas. I think I'm going to use the colored sticker dots suggested. This way i can clean the carts and replace the stickers, and the carts will still fit in my case.
The Clearomizer were even a bigger problem for me.
To make it easier to get the condom off while driving or in other circumstances, I cut part of the top of the condom off.
Later, I had a brainstorm and slip the cut off part on the lower part of the Clearomizer, wrote the flavor on it and then covered it with scotch tape and so far (just started doing this) it's worked great.

Each of my cartos has a 'serial number.' I use the resistor color code:
Resistor Tools and Calculators
For my system, the first band indicates type.
2 = bought as regular-resistance blank
3 = bought as low-resistance blank
4 = bought as high-resistance blank
6 = bought as pre-filled
9 = ceramic
The second band indicates vendor. The third and fourth bands shows it's the nth carto of that type from that vendor.
I rarely use 0, 1, or 5 because some cartos come black, brown or green, and the contrast might not be high enough.
I started using felt tip pen, but they smear or wash away too easily and don't work well on some wrappings. I've since switched to paint pens (available at Wal-Mart for about $4 apiece) that mark on anything and are harder to wash off (but you can by soaking in iso alcohol and scrubbing).
They're easy to mark perfectly if you have a small v-block -- just roll them past the pen. Otherwise, it's up to your inventiveness or agility to keep the lines sharp and even.

I know someone who got a small fishing tackle box, which seems like a good idea for me. Keep the cartos right in the same compartment with the juice bottle. Since I am switching to mostly using blank 808 mega cartos from Ikenvape which are black, this seems like a good solution. I've used a Sharpie on some of my refilled preloaded cartos.

I use different colored drip tips from Nhaler. Each flavor currently in use (I have about 10 right now) has it's own dedicated carto with a different colored drip tip (Nhaler has about 50 different colors). I keep them in a little juice case (meant to hold 3 small bottles of juice) that fits 9 at a time (while the tenth is in use). I use mostly black cartos and have a pink/black swirl tip for strawberry pie, burgundy translucent for cherry cobbler, amber for rice krispity treat, yellow/black swirl for banana pudding, chocolate flake for tootsi rolly, sienna swirl for coffee, etc.
I guess it was kinda expensive to buy all those drip tips but I love them, they look great and I don't need much lighting or glasses to find the one I'm looking for.

Right now, I sharpe the top condom, but that wipes off fairly easily. I'm going to go to the store and pick up one of the "paint" permanent markers and see how that works. Or maybe the whiteout pen
The rubber bands and different bags are too much for me
