Keeping your tanks straight - am I just CDO?

[Paramaniac413]

I have a bunch of tanks with different liquid in them.
I've got 3 evod type tanks that I 'color coded' to the 3 flavors I have:
Blue: Kringle's Curse
Pink: Strawberry Shortcake
Gold: Cinnabun
I've got 3 emow megas and a genitank that are sort of color coded (only keep 2 of my flavors in them with 2 tanks 'spare'):
Black: Strawberry Shortcake
Blue: Kringle's Curse

Am I just a little CDO (like OCD, but in alphabetical order, damnit!) or do others do that to organize things as well? If not, how do you keep tanks straight...I have a feeling I'm going to run out of colors soon.

Sounds like a pretty good plan, but could get a little expensive! I clean out my stuff with vodka and or isopropyl alcohol, which is getting to be a pita since I change flavors almost daily. Your method is much more efficient.

CDO, now that is taking OCD to another level!

I have actually had to label my tanks with blue painters tape.
I just received some colored glass tanks for my Aerotanks and I hope that will help me remember whats what.

Hi Paramaniac and welcome to the forum!

I actually use a label maker with 1/4 inch tape. LOL!

Happy Vaping!

:::sighs::: as a newbie I have a dozen small inexpensive clearomizers I labeled with the different flavors (tape and paper). My two main Naut Mini's have different colored juices, and my one other 2ml glass one is for my cinnamon green apple mix.... I am so glad I have the discipline to not spend any more money this month. (tomorrow is a new month!)

They sell these things called "wine glass charms". They're kinda like earrings made for wine glasses so you know who's glass belongs to who. Most are very elaborate but they have some simple ones also. I did an image search and found these.

You can also use different drip tips to tell similar tanks apart...

Little rubber bands (for pony tails I think) in different colors from the dollar store. 400 for yeah, $1.

I recently purchased a label maker and I now label EVERYTHING...tanks, needle point drip bottles, batteries, spools of Kanthal...the list goes on and on.

I even tried labeling my dog. He wasn't too thrilled about that but such is life.

I made a stand. The back row are the bottles and the front row is the topper. I had a one-level stand, but I just finished a two-level stand. Its just piece of 2x4 and a piece of 2x8.



Sticking tape or rubber bands seems to detract from the beauty of the topper. It works for me.

what are you going to do when you have more flavors than than colored tanks?

::sigh:: Power tools...I love power tools...I could spend a fortune on power tools...sadly, mine are in storage (and I don't think my mother would appreciate a drill press in the garage where her car is suppose to be) or I'd probably do something similar.

did you try labeling the parts of the dog yet?? paws, nose, ....

No, just an extra large "Dog" label that I stuck to his forehead.

But I like where you're going with this...

 

[wheelie]

Don't really. Have about 35 tanks and only 2 or three usually have juice in them. If no time to rewick or coil I fill a new one and when I get it rebuilt it goes in the tray to be used another time time.

 

[OlderNDirt]

Excel is my friend! Yeah, I could do the same on Word, but Excel sounds so.........special.

Started with a spreadsheet to keep track of where I got each juice from and rated them 0 - 10. Then a second page to sort by rating and list those running low for next order. Then added yet another page listing all the tanks, their location in the stand, and when the coil was changed last. Sad thing is, its not that I have so much stuff, but have a really poor memory.

Frenchfry: That is a great idea. I'm going to have to play with some wood this month, or actually February. And don't anybody be getting a dirty mind over that comment!

Label the dog...hmmm...well crap...my label maker is in storage, too...

Oh man, I forgot tomorrow is a new month! That means I can place the order I have waiting in my 'wish list!' (even though it's only more juice as I'm running low on my 'usual')

what are you going to do when you have more flavors than than colored tanks?

Bunny, I try to time my purchases so some arrive about every 10 days. Then they go into steeping. I keep the purchase groups separate from each other by using little card board boxes in a drawer. Actually, I probably have only 6-7 juices on the stand at a time.

The bottom level has a back row with holes the a 30ml bottle fits in. The top level is for 10ml and smaller.

It just fit my need and it was inexpensive.
