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

[QueenMuntha]

I don't know about the rest of them but you will probably degrade your reta with a freeze thaw cycle. The vials will likely condensate on the exterior which will complicate labels sticking unless allowed to thaw and dry. I vote no.

It really Ain't That Serious, Folks.

QR code on the thermos outside with a link to blog/excel/something with the inventory of what's inside would solve your problem. Well, one of your problems lol.

Too much work. I just look at my spreadsheet, or I pop the lid and look at the top of the vials.

I guess taking out my kits and looking at them

I had to do same thing when I got my Nimbot, had a number of vials in the freezer that needed labels. Pulled the case out, attached each label and back in the freezer, only took a couple minutes max. Slapped the label on, each back in its snug little cushioned slot, back to sleep in the freezer.

So I guess taking out my kits on occasion and lovingly caressing them is a no go?

I throw them in a bag and label the bag.

I started to panic because when I first started all this, a sharpie was my only labeling system, and I didn't wanna get all confused in a couple months, and with the alcohol wipes, the sharpie comes off the glass, so I grabbed a vial outta the freezer, and dried it then tried to stick a label to it. It wouldn't stick lol. I thought the same as you too, do I thaw then re-freeze? My solution was to write on a piece of paper what they were and store that in the hydrapeak.

I dont have some massive stash (YET) so I will prelabel the next ones maybe. (my next order will fill out one hydrapeak alone, so I may just put them in their with the COA and where they came from. Seems like so much work when I'm mainly buying/using Tirz only.) I do like @BNLFL cap sticker labels...

Too much work? More than printing out all those little labels? Maybe. I'm an IT guy, so the qr/spreadsheet thing is just another blip in the radar for me lol.

This is literally the same thing I did. For the last 6 months I've kept everything in the fridge until I get the COA, then I label and store in the freezer in the cushioned little slot in the zippered case. But for the older frozen kits where I hadn't labeled, I just did this and as the labels were all printed and ready; it was maybe 2 minutes tops per kit to label and stick in the case and pop back in the freezer.
