I had to try this as soon as I read it. Q Tip stems are tightly rolled paper, and there is a small space in the middle. It might be good for a drip tip, but refilling a clearomizer would be out of the question, as juice comes out so slow. Also, if you squeeze the bottle too hard, the Q Tip stem can fly out, along with a good amount of juice.

There are some Q-Tips that have a plastic center piece. Maybe those are the ones???
That's right. And cut one tip at an angle and it seems to drip less.
Actually when I said Q Tips I really meant Generic NoName Cotton Buds from the cheap shop. The ones my closest shop sells are plastic and hollow.

I have a draw in my kitchen desk dedicated to holding stuff but my local shop sells juice in bottles with eye droppers that did not fit. My old, no longer used, humidor makes a wonderful, almost, place for the juice. The problem is that I knock over the juice when I try to take one out and then knock others over when I stand the ones I just knocked over up. My plan for the weekend is to get a piece of poplar and drill holes in it to hold the bottles.
Always used the brand name ones, never knew they made plastic ones. And now you know.
I always though 10 bucks for a thousand was cheap
What do you pay for the knockoff ones?

I think it was a pound UK for a 3 inch diameter tub packed with them.
Shot glasses are great as an ego holder. I have six positioned around the house in places I'd likely need to rest my ego.
Colored rubber bands for little girl's pony tails (pkg of 400 from Dollar store) for keeping track of flavors in tanks.
Childs medicine syringe and measuring cup (shows millimeters) from Walmart for mixing and measuring.
Spice rack for holding various bottles of liquid.
Pouch I bought at an auction meant for blood sugar testing device...but I use as a travel pouch.
That's all I got...

Lord - from back in the days when a paper clip was a "universal adjustment tool" for cartridge based systems.
Pan from a single egg poacher to clean the likes of Kanger coils, cartos or attys in simmering water. (These stoopid egg poachers are getting to be nearly impossible to find now.)
10" long stainless tweezers I found in kitchen drawer to handle those things being cleaned in hot water.
Pipe cleaners - to get down into and clean those narrow spaces in BCC tanks between the tank and the vent tube.
Cheese cloth - for wicking material. The kitchen version - not the cheese cloth you get at Home Depot.
Cotton kitchen twine - for wicking material.
Cone (Melitta type) paper coffee filters cut into strips. Nice stiff material with excellent wicking properties to get liquid out of those narrow spaces in recessed 510/Ego top caps.
Empty medicine bottles in different sizes - tons of uses. Safe battery transport holders, RDA & BCC clearo transport and storage, "to be rebuilt" Kanger coil collection container, drip tip storage - all manner of bits & stuff.
Hair dryer with a diffuser piece that fits on the end - carto and coil dryer. The diffuser thing on mine contains the parts. Stand it on the counter pointing up, chuck some parts in the diffuser cup, low heat & low speed setting - done and dry in two minutes.
I know there are several more I can't recall right now...

Otter boxes. Big enough for a couple 18650's in a plastic box, a couple bottles of juice and some drip tips. Have also crammed a pen vape, my M-16 in there.
Larger waterproof latching box for liquids
Art supply case for coiling supplies. Probably going to have to move them up to a creel-style box when I add the larger blowtorch and small battery drill kit.

hmm, various pliers and tweezers, bag of cotton, small Tupperware containers for holding wick, wire, and used to break down, clean and keep rba parts from getting lost, Computer desk is now a vape station/cat tree. Cats let me use it as long as I keep the top shelve clear so that the can nap or pounce on me. lol Oh, washed out a plastic quart coffee cream container, works great for holding VG and pouring it to measure for my juice recipes. Nice no drip fluted spout works great for clean mixing of juice.
OH, cordless drill has been re-tasked for twisting wire combos, and mini vice grips have been confiscated too. lol

I repurposed some 1x1 wood from the neighbors windows they were taking out for a mod stand. Gerber and flashlight holders are mod holders. Diabetic hard case is my rebuilding case. Mini plastic toolbox is the juice holder.

I use an empty Whitman's Sampler box to hold my juices and coils. Not the most innovative idea here, but makes for a nice dark environment for my juices and I can carry them around the house easier.
I forgot to mention that my real hobby of watch repair lends many tools to vaping, like tiny screw drivers, tweezers, magnifying visors, crystal polish, etc.
Around 4" w x 4.5" h x 3" d; here's what they look like inside with my 20ml bottles:
and speaking of Qtips, the containers for the ones I use work perfectly to hold seven small 5ml tester bottles:
Oh, and the cap of Qtip box (actually, I use Johnson's "Cotton Buds") works for holding spare drip tips, beauty rings, adapters, O rings, etc:
so Qtips for the win, I guess.
