How do you mark stainless cartomizers?

[mobocracy]

I like to use an 808 stick battery for stealth vapes and fill blank stainless cartos. I use about 3 different flavors of juice and like to keep 2-3 filled cartos of each flavor on hand.

What can you use to mark stainless cartos so you know what's what? I've tried two different pens, a Sharpie "Industrial Super Permanent Ink" pen and an expensive little Sakura Microperm I bought at an art supply store that's supposed to be permanent on non-porous surfaces. The Sakura starts out seeming permanent -- I write on the carto, let it dry for few minutes and a finger on the writing produces no smears and the ink seems permanent. After pocketing it and using it, I notice the ink is just gone. I've written way past where my lips go, so I'm pretty sure I'm not licking it off..

My guess is there may be VG/PG residue on the carto itself which is keeping the ink from fully setting. I haven't tried marking them before filling, so maybe that would help.

What has worked well has been using Brother P-touch labels, but it's so putzy to enter, print, and then snip with scissors small enough fit on the carto. But they stay on.

Is there a pen that will write on a stainless carto? I suppose I could use little dot stickers and write on them, but I'm not sure they would stick as well as the P-touch labels which seem to hold like magic in a lot of conditions.

Use a Brother label maker. Ive kept 12 Carto's full of diff juices. The Label maker stickers wont come off of glass or stainless....wheather it be juice, hot water or the fridge or freezer.

It's not very attractive, but tape works. I've used masking tape and electrical tape; I'm sure duct tape would work. Tape doesn't stick to the condoms though, just the metal.

I use painters tape on my clearos and DIY juice bottles. Easy to write on and peels off without a residue when I need to change it.

You label your Condoms ?

Try covering the Sharpie mark with a piece of Scotch tape?

This is the only way I have gotten any writing to stay on a tank.

That's an idea that hadn't occured to me. Faster than the Brother labeler because there's no trimming necessary.

Maybe there's a business opportunity in all this, selling custom laser engraved cartomizers.

I cut up blank mailing labels to size with an Xacto knife. Works like a charm.

Try a mean streak marker

I use a nail polish pen (meant for small designs)... It still comes off sometimes if it ends up getting juice on it for long but works for the most part for me

I use different color tips for each flavor.

 

[pufZeppelin]

what works good for me (as mentioned)

is blue painters tape / sharpie (surprised even holds up to hot water washing)

and sharpie covered with scotch tape

'white out' etches into the metal - * warning * it doesn't come off easy !!!! (if at all)
if you try, use toothpick dipped in, then maybe a dot system
(I've used it on some very hard metal surfaces and never get it off)

Write on the carto and then give it a layer of clear nail polish...
Never tried it byt i think it would hold

i get the little colored dot stickers that people use for like yard sales, write the name of the juice on it and use a piece of clear packing tape to cover it so juice doesn't ruin it

Scratch it with a knife or needle.
Or buy a $2K laser engraver
