Yet another thread about labeling your clearomizers

[Vapo Marx]

I know this was covered in another thread recently but damned if I can find it now. I did find a thread about it in the Tips and Tricks forum but it's over two years old and I know reviving old threads is frowned upon.

Anyway, I labeled some clearos tonight using Brother black-on-clear tape and I think it looks pretty slick. You can see the edges of the tape in the photo but in real life, the lettering looks almost screened on. Dig it:

That only works with clear tape of which I don't have any......
Actually, it's a great idea. Looks much better than using white tape. I keep a diary instead and make sure my clearos are different colors.

I kept a diary until my sister found it, picked the lock and read it to all her friends. I almost died!

I use a DYMO LetraTag label maker, about 20 bucks at Wally world.

 

[Susan W.]

Yeah, but I already have a Brother P-Touch. $9.99. Then I found out it takes 8 AAA batteries so I had to buy the optional power cord for $19.99.

Oh my!!!
Well, my juice diary isn't all that exciting.

I know Dymo makes a variety of labeling machines now (I use their RhinoPro for tagging electronic wiring at work) but the name still makes me think of embossed plastic label tape and the little machine with the character wheel: "Click... click... click..." I still have several of those labelers and the tape to go with them.

Now that I think of it, old-school Dymo labels would have a certain retro appeal and they have this uncanny ability to become mostly unstuck but hang on by their very corners for 40 years

TZe131 tape for your P-Touch (and mine), retails for about 9 bucks a cartridge.

The pics do look nice but what are you going to do if you get a juice with a really long name? "Rootie Tootie Fresh and Fruity Juicy Juice" or something.

 

[Susan W.]

I remembered these too and they made a short comeback a few years ago because of their retro appeal. They were hits in the scrapbook arena.

Exactly why a diary is needed. Can put the abbreviation in the diary.

I'd give it a nickname, like "Snuggles."

Then you need a dairy to make sure you remember which juice was "Snuggles". It might really suck to add your cinnamon/menthol mix to a tank that currently has Rootie Tootie Fresh & Fruity Juicy Juice in it.

 

[Vapo Marx]

Nah, I'd recognize my Snuggles anywhere.

Before I moved to Pro Tanks, I tried to color coordinate Evods with the juice I was using. Blue for juices with blueberry, etc.

LOL back when I used cartos (no tank) I would put masking tape on them and write on them with a sharpie. Not elegant by any means but totally functional.

 

[Vapo Marx]

Sorry, I can't resist one more photo. I love the dramatic lighting on this corner of my coffee table.

 

[RobinBanks]

Is it sad that I bought 12 knock-off evods from FastTech in different colors and a little notebook so that I could track by tank color?

 

[MsComptrtchr]

I have so many evods and switch flavors all day - I use masking tape and a thin sharpie. It comes right off without residue. I used to use the colored rubberbands, but they kept falling off. Masking tape is cheap and easily changeable.

I bought 6 nail polish colors for $12. I like it because I can soak the tanks in water.
