Being new to this, I of course bought a ton of flavours and several tanks (of which I've added to almost daily, lol). And one morning I got up and found I couldn't remember what was in which tank.

First I started keeping each tank standing on an index card with the flavour and nic level written on it. This was fine until one of the cats decided to see if these new toys rolled across the counter well. That killed that system, lol. (The cats had a lot of fun, though.)

I happen to have beads in my house, so my next system was to tie a bead to an "o" ring and slip it over the tank (actually this was kinda fun as, depending on how crafty you are, you can make all sorts of cute little strings of beaded charms). I then wrote on one index card the colour or stone-type of bead and what was in the corresponding tank. So far, this system is working well.

How does everyone else remember who's on first and what's on second????

I've been wondering about how to mark them since I have a ton of juice coming in the mail and I am also new!
I love the bead idea but my wife is already not too happy with how manly I sound talking about fancy "Tribeca, kringles curse, midnight apple" etc... if I put color beads on the tanks im getting thrown out of the house! :)

I have labels for my identical tanks, but I have been trying to add more new colors and rotate out the multiple twins/triplets. My current method is going by color on the tank or drip tips. Red and black are my favorite colors so my red and black hand blown carto tank gets my ADV, then I try to match the colors to the flavors. I have a candy flavor that tastes "purple" so it gets purple, I have a "zen berry" flavor and its calm/relaxing so it gets blue, a rich tobacco flavor - it doesnt taste like a color - so it gets stainless LOL.

I realized with the labels they worked great till I switch a flavor and forget to switch a label LOL. Its like ordering coke and getting a dr pepper. It just isnt happy. :)

My method probably isnt the easiest and I love the idea of beads - but I think my cats would be after those too!!!

i've been wondering the same thing - for a while, different tanks/colors helped, but that's gone out the window. sticky labels seemed ugly. maybe a tiny number on each tank, and a reference list? or marking with a grease pencil?

eventually i assume i'll get past the sampling phase, and only have a few flavors loaded at once (yeah, sure), but until then..

I alternate between (4) different USB Passthroughs while watching tv at night. Unflavored in the clear tank, Hangsen USA MIX in the yellow tank, Dekang Red USA MIX in the pink tank, and Dekang USA MIX in the lime tank. The little ce4+ on the ego battery has unflavored in it.
