Bro P-Touch here too.
I get my labels here https://www.ptouchdirect.com/
bcuz pricing at $taple$ is stupidly expensive. They carry supplies for other brand labelers too.

Me too! For a long time I used masking tape & colored sharpies.

Can't bear the idea pouring good money into labels that could be used to actually vape....
Pffft. Coulda squeezed out another 7 ml's with the money you spent on that Sharpie.
Dymo label maker from Staples but I get the labels on line.

You have options. If you get a PC based label printer you can save tons of templates as with the Avery program - saves lots of time when reprinting. But you are tied to wherever your computer is - which may not be convenient to your mixing station.
The portables are... portable. (duh) Battery or AC operation - so that's good. But they have very limited memory storage options. My model can only store a half dozen templates in memory.
The one thing to pay attention to when shopping printers is: What's the maximum width label it can use? Almost all of them can use several different widths - but what's the maximum you think you will want or like?
Brother has the most options for labels. All manure of widths, colors, print colors etc. Hell, I just looked and they even have a shrink wrapper option now that works with certain printers!
In hindsight I wish I went for the PC label printer instead.
Plastic bottles here, sharpie the bottom with date and juice profile made up name on stuff I like...otherwise sample sizes abbreviated names.
One of my experiments was named, "MTLS 30D"
Might taste like shit - 30days
Was a raspberry concoction of some sort and ended up half decent.

Someone got me a label maker for Christmas a couple years ago. My previous method of tape and a sharpie were more reliable.
I had been thinking the Sharpie could have been dropped out of the sky (by mistake) nearby Juicy Lucy by one of the thousands of flying drones overhead. She just then picked up it's litter to help save the environment.
Thanks for straightening me out!

Wrong! It's a Sir-Marks-a-Lot I stole from work!!!
EDIT: When I bother using an Avery label, they are salvaged from the occasional botched printing job at work

If I bother labelling them at all -- and I usually dont, with my ADV strawberry & cream, but with other flavors, I might -- I use "removable" labels that I got at the officemax, and write on them with pencil -- same way I label my nicotine for freezer storage -- because PG will make ANY ink run and ultimately vanish, but leaves pencil-on-paper almost completely untouched, so it stays readable.
The "removable" labels sometimes don't stick well, and I just add a piece of tape, over whatever I wrote on the label. Either way (the label and/or the tape), it doesn't leave a sticky mess when removed.
Also, with Inawera flavors, their labels are metallic mylar, so if you peel them carefully off whatever bottle the flavor came in, you can re-use those labels on glass bottles -- which is exactly what I do with my shisha strawberry -- the 100ml bottles used to ship in glass, but now in plastic, so that explains the lower shipping cost, but I can't leave that flavor in plastic, it might melt it if left too long.

Those DivBio's work great.......but they stick TOO good also.....do yours peel right off or stick and leave glue behind?
Sometimes they do on a recycled clear glass bottles. Never had it happen on a cobalt ones from Specialty Bottles.
Juice Calculator (Free) is a great mixing resource and it includes a handy label maker. Put a sheet of Avery labels in your printer and you are good to go.

I put strips of green painters tape onto a piece of ceramic tile to have a nice base to write on and with a fine sharpie write what I need too then cut with a xacto knife, no residue and sticks just fine. K.I.S.S. method for label making.
