Looks awesome, I love the retroish packaging. You do any max VG blends?

I do for myself. This is my first run on consignment at a local shop. If it goes over well and I can switch to selling to them I may open up sales online. I am also thinking of doing a give away in the socal vapers subreddit, so if you are local be on the look out.

As for the design, I was originally going for a clean, modern white on clear label, but I wasn't able to get my labels to behave, so I went with the retro option. I am really glad you like it, I am quite pleased with the simplicity myself. Hopefully I can expound upon the design when I move into larger production.

Nice! Cost per label?

Not including Ink and with cutting the labels in half, $.02 per label.

Looks good, how do you get your labels to align so well? Are you just doing it by hand?

I noticed a particular brand of juice at the vape shop the other day that was just all over the place with their labels, but most seem to be squared up.

I have a guide I built for mine, just curious how others do it.

My other hobbies are building and painting models, archery, and target shooting with rifles and pistols. I have really steady hands, even if they are a little hammy.

Wish I had steady hands.. Instead I got these twitchy crackhead hands.

where did you find the shrink bands for sealing the bottle?

I only did 18 bottles last night and it was a PAIN. I am not a fancy pants so I used my girlfriends variable power hairdryer. If you don't rest a finger lightly on the back of the cap hold the shrink wrap in place it will curl up and not make a good seal. Low airspeed and REALLY high heat are required, then high airspeed to finish it off.

My business is called Craft Vape, which is an extension of my commission business Craft World, that specializes is Crafts, and has been around since 2010! I saw them show up a couple weeks ago, though.

I personally don't think it's an issue, it's just uncanny how both of you have a similar name with a similar style of labeling :)

Worse comes too worst I can always change the name slightly.
