You can custom engrave a small metal band that encompasses your mouthpiece for your cartomizer!!!! Pick from 10 different color combos and best of all your can custom engrave the small metal band that encompasses the base of the mouthpiece!!

Now that I have your attention, let's show suppliers and inventors the need for a proper labeling system to keep our juices and carts organized!!!

Need someone to photoshop a concept photo, a device like this would make my vaping experience much more organized.

Nice idea, and it could be expanded with a ton of products.

Topper caps with different colors
Colored condoms
Colored carto bands (as described above)
Colored carto casings
Carto organizer (color-coded compartment tray, similar in design to a fishing tackle tray)
Shaped stickers

A ton of ways to go with this. Time to put on the thinking cap, since my desk is cluttered with cartos!

I use metallic letra tag labels they come in silver, blue, pink. They dont rub off like the paper tape I used to use and I can usually peel the label off and put it on the new carto. I use silver for all non blueberry flavors (they get blue), pink for raspberry and pomegranite flavors. I just really love my labelmaker it is so fun.

I don't know why this isn't done. Nothing sticks to silicone. That's why we call it silicone. Well, there's horribly expensive paint made out of platinum or something, but who's counting that? Not me.

Anyway, my point is that while doing any sort of post-production coloring would be prohibitive, whether done by the manufacturer or the consumer, coloring it at time of confection isn't expensive at all, which is why we can get those silicone covers for phones and mp3 players and things for a dollar apiece, less if we buy the rainbow bundle.

So why don't the cartomizer component people just make their little round puffing hats in different colors?

Companies could buy them assembled like that, or buy the components and have them assembled wherever, but if we just had those little hats in colors we wouldn't have to do be able to read writing tiny enough to put on a scrap of paper and scotch tape it to our cartomizers, or go around buying label making machines or stealilng rubber bands from innocent children who are just trying to have straight teeth.

This is so going on my list of Things They Ought To Make But Don't.

That's a great idea. Anybody out there on a budget should check out using multicolored plastic electrical tape that can be purchased at Walmart. Its stays on "forever" but comes off easily without leaving glue on the cart. Cut the "bands" as thin as you want.

HTH,

There was another thread yesterday, regarding carto/juice organization. I went out to Walmart, grabbed a little tackle box, and a box of stickers (little colored stars). Colored star would go on juice bottle, and one on the carto or condom. Those little stars wouldn't stick to the condom or the carto. So.... on to the next "do it for under a buck" labeling exercise.

I've been searching for manufacturers of the carto sleeves. Haven't been too successful yet. All the links take me to distributors of the cartos themselves. In regards to the topper caps, I was thinking more along the lines of a ball marker in golf (where you mark the ball on the green). These could be sized down to fit the dimensions of a standard carto. Just push the marker into the mouth hole. Of course, that does nothing for other types of attachments (tanks, drip tips, etc.).

Here's a picture of standard plastic ball markers. They'd look exactly the same, only carto sized.

Very cool, I like the idea, I wonder if there'd my any way to incorporate text? Like a round piece of paper that could be put into it and snapped together, making a similar looking device as shown.

You just need to make a mold and sent it to china for mass production!!!

I need to watch some "how it's made" on tv.

These being plastic, a Sharpie/magic marker would probably work. Of course, you'd need to color-coordinate the juice with the associated marker/topper. Of course, you could just label (with Sharpie) the markers with letters of the alphabet. Write the same letter on the juice bottle. That'd cover 26 flavors. For additional flavors, you could label them A1, A2, etc.

Guess with that method, you wouldn't even need colors. A single color would do. I thought of different colors, as I have a variety of cartos (regular, LR, DC) and they all look the same.

I only use three to four flavors regularly, and I have different colored delrin drip tips for each of the cartos.

Agreed. I only have a few attys and they can be used with multiple flavors. I ordered my driptips and they should be here friday. :) On the other hand... I do want to organize my cartos better...

ecig, ecigskinmods.com Cartomizer Wraps

Those are the cheapest pre-cut carto wraps I've been able to find. Unfortunately, they're definitely not a "do it for under a dollar" scheme but they do work pretty well and don't look too bad. I also just mark mine with a silver sharpie with a two or three letter abbreviation for the juice. It might be a little unsightly but it's not too awful, and actually the silver sharpie is kind of cool. The few times I do change flavors in the same carto (not often) I just draw over the silver sharpie with a black one and over the black with silver again.
