I'm probably being a smartass by saying this but I don't need labels. I only vape one juice always the same nic strength ;)
Oh no, not at all. I currently only have two flavors Bavarian Cream and an unflavored juice. I am finding I like the unflavored much more than anything else. I am thinking more and more that I will have no need to label but I will wait and see. I was curious as to what others used or didn't use. I really appreciate all of the opinions and thank everyone for your input.

after placing labels use clear duck tape over them to make bottles washable and labels waterproof

I vape a lot of unflavored DIY juice. I also add a touch of some other mixed flavor to introduce a mild flavor into the unflavored juice. For me, vaping the same juice day after day gets old. I mix 6 or 8 flavors at normal strengths in a session. Most of those I also vape at mixed strength here and there as well as adding a squirt of one of those to an unflavored tank.

The flexibility of DIY mixing allows me to do that. It never gets boring.

Their site (Downloads | QL-700 | United States | Brother ) does list software for Linux :)
Thank you!

The Linux choices seem to be:
  • Linux (deb)
  • Linux (Raspbian)
  • Linux (rpm)
  • Linux (Raspbian lite)
When I ask the computer what operating system/version I have, I get:
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=17.3
DISTRIB_CODENAME=rosa
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.3 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"

So, I guess Linux (deb) is me?

I do vape unflavored some. But, most of the unflavored I use is what I add to my other flavors when I get sick of them or when they start to get dark.

Sometimes I really like unflavored. Sometimes not so much. I need variety! Not a huge variety, but a little. I'm picky. That's why I DIY. Most flavors are just plain irritating.
Thank you!

Bavarian Cream is one of the ingredients to my Wakonda :thumb:

I've been mostly unflavored for awhile, but since I got used to this Simba tank I've been using it almost exclusively with the Wakonda now!

I bought new bottles of Essential Depot PG and VG a while back. My old stock used to have a slightly sweet taste when I vaped unflavored, even at 70pg/30vg. I like that. Even my 50/50 mixes don't have that after getting the new bottles. I wonder if ED is using some new filter process that strains out the sweet under taste from the VG. Go figure. Maybe my other stock developed that sweetness over time.

So now, I sometimes add a squirt of Caramel Candy, Chocolate, or some other sweet DIY juice to a tank to get back something of a sweet base taste.

Wow thought I'd look into what I been missing here. Good to see a bunch of new people in here. Haven't been to this side of the house for some time now. But what's all this talk about Linux. I have enough problems with Win Doze.

So vapin unflavored. I tried it for a while but I like a light flavor. I run 5 attys's at a time with 4 flavors and another in a Kabuki with some high octane Buttery Hazelnut which us 12mg high octane for me. Went on a bender with just 12mg but got to be too much so cut my flavors back to 3mg.

Got myself 2 more Siren 2's. I have really gotten to like these as they are easy everything which is what I need these days and I love being able to change my AF from Too tight MTL to super loose Lung hit with just a small adjustment to the air ring. Easy single coil build and easy wick very forgiving. Just the 24mm for me.

Have cut my stock down to just those and my 1 authentic Kayfun K5 a couple Tobecco clones still new, 4 Kanger STM's still sealed up and a Tugboat dripper.

Late on the labels discussion, but have to chime in. I can't use any handwritten option because my writing was already illegible back when my hands still worked. For similar reasons the hand held label makers with their itty-bitty keyboards are hard to use. What came across on Amazon is a little USB printer that uses the computer for input. It's the same narrow tape as the handheld ones, but I find myself including less info each time - to the point here I'm not even labeling my ADVs. The witch's cap bottles I use come with three choices for cap color, and I've assigned 1 to each f my 3 main flavors. I have all the notes about strength and day made, etc. in my Juice Calculator. I use HotRod's program, and for a while could print right from the program, but one of his fixes for something else broke that. The Labelmanager
has its own little input program that saves the labels from each session, so I can just change/add as necessary.

I have a battery question that seems almost too silly for the battery forums. I know about not using a battery with a damaged skin, but what about scrapes at the negative end? I don't seem able to avoid these, both in and out of the charger and going in to the battery compartments on the Wismec Reuleaux RX75s that I'm switching over to. The scrapes are either on the flat negative surface or on the outside edge at the very 'shoulder' between the cylinder and the flat. I'm sure hoping I don't need to re-wrap for these, becauseit's almost every battery charge and change.

Light batt scrapes I don't fret over. But once there is evidence of 'deeper' penetration, out dey (da batts) go!

Now, to be absolutely safe, if the charger is your issue, get a new one. If it's a matter of 'handling', be more careful.

My ol' Nitecore was not the most kind on my 18650s... (poof) gone to met da sea gulls (aka local land fill)...

Minor scratches on the metal end of a battery I don't see any concern, but if the wrapping is in any way damaged, that should be rectified immediately.

What dey said ... yep.
