Pulling vials out of freezer to label them; talk me down

Or the ultimate joy in pep-craft! Crafting is one of my on/off again hyperfixations, and I enjoy merging my obsessions. If it’s a chore for someone—yeah, don’t do it! Slap a label on a kit with the date and call it good to go. But for those of us who enjoy organizational fun…oh! The satisfaction! These guys still need top labels …

Only have reta - using a spreadsheet w all the data and color cap. No need to label seems like a huge waste of time.

You have to label to be in the club...meetings are every Wednesday night...last night we had a guest speaker, Francisco Weidermeir of Niimbot Worldwide discussing the intricacies of permeant adhesives. More to it than you'd think...

And do we have any data that taking a frozen vial out of a freezer to label does any damage ? In my mind we would all know of this issue by now if it was true - 99.9999% u can do that as needed for majority of peppers.

Nice, thank you. I guess I probably could of went to nimbot website and looked it up myself 🤣 I would of thought amazon would carry them though. Weird.

Go figure. Amazon usually has everything.

I guess you can get them in this bundle.

I saw that, but I wanted over the 220 round ones in a roll, and don't need the normal or long ones.

My issue, I have a bunch from the same two vendors and they all use the same caps regardless of batch number.

I don't worry about that first part, and I now label when I get them in room or normally garage temp which has been running between 90*-95* this time of year.
Not sure you'll get them back if you send them to me. 🤣 😉
 
update: I printed off 30 labels, pulled my thermos full of 3 kits of t-30 (well, two and a half, that's the one I've been using from), and got to labelling. All vials instantly developed condensation on the outside, so I had to wipe each with a paper towel just before adding the label, and the time it took to empty it, place the unlabelled, wipe and label, move to the labelled side, then re-set all the vials in the thermos and close it up did let all of them come to room temp.

It was enormously satisfying, and I know from pulling single vials that were labelled in the past that I will be pleased whenever I pull a vial from this batch and realize I don't have to go look up the coa or triple-check the cap color to make sure I have the right thing. I think if I knew for an absolute fact that the single fifteen-minute thaw-refreeze did nothing of any significance whatsoever, I'd happy do the rest. But I don't, and since there really is no way for me to know for absolute sure at the moment, I won't do the rest and will instead just label any new ones that come in; and in the meantime, I'll content myself with a nimbotted label on the outside and inside of the thermos with what's in it, what color the caps are, and the mg and purity; one label for each pep. Oh, and I'll put the recon instructions and units from said recon so I never even have to do the math beforehand, that'll be nice.

You can order separate rolls of the clear rounds ones here. I just got these yesterday: https://a.co/d/0fwhDNf1

Also this is odd but beware of ordering them direct from Niimbot. I just did that last week and now they are being held of for some kind of inspection. WTF

I just want some white round labels. Not trying to import a Panda or some shit.

No offense, but the clears suck. I tried them, and the don't show on the dark labels like dark blue and black. I ordered from Niimbot direct for 3 rolls of the round white awhile back, no issues. but they're aren't fast.

Agree. Not a big fan of the clear either but since my white ones got held up for inspection I grabbed the clear ones since it's the only version Amazon has and I could at least label some. But ya, once I get, If I get the white ones I'll be labeling them all with those.

Yay!... 😎 👍 I just finished labeling some Reta-20...I've got some T30 coming in supposedly today that I will label as well...I haven't fired up my new little deep freezer yet. I am planning on rounding out the reta with a few more kits, then into the kit-case and freezer...Nice day for labeling...

That's what's I do now. I didn't have these label makers when I got a bunch of my stuff a while back. I think I labeled around 140 or so. Just like 20 vials at a time.

If only I hadn't stashed like fifteen years worth of peptides and THEN bought a NIIMbot. Oh well; that means when I'm sixty, all the not-individually-labelled ones will be used up, but everything from that point on WILL be individually labelled, just in time for me be in a stage of life where I'll GREATLY appreciate things being simple, clear, and easier to see!

I have so many in my stock of crap, I didn't know which one to use. I guess this one works.

I have a strong dislike for t-shirts with amusing sayings on them. This is the first one I've ever seen that goes so far into "distasteful" that it it loops all the way around and comes back to "glorious."

Reminds me of a blanket I bought at a gas station once, which featured three wolves howling at the moon with an 18-wheeler, and the legend "Born to be....Wild" on it.
