I use those little baby bottle brushes for cleaning out my tanks..... oh, and pipe cleaners for drying out just cleaned drip tips.

I use an egg carton to hold all my multitude of bits and pieces. Keeps them sorted. And for you ladys, a few in the dresser drawer for sorting earrings works great. (and guys too! 
)
My other simple thing is to use a coffee mug for all my egos. It is easy to haul them around the house.

I'm going to hit up the dollar store, I need something in my car that holds it in place, but easy reach. I'd prefer not to lose a cup holder, so maybe something that could stick to the dash.

dental scaler.
useful for all kinds of things.. esp handy for manipulating wicks and pulling o-rings.

When I started vaping I had a mod that used 14650 batteries. I like doing things on a budget. I also like doing things in a big way and I like MORE POWER! I found some single cell chargers on sale for a couple of bucks apiece and combined them with some Ace Hardware cube taps. The result was a seven bank charger that cost less than any four or six bank charger on the market at the time. I used it for about a year. Sometimes I charged three batts at a time, sometimes five and sometimes seven. The only problem was the huge amount of RF put out by these combined chargers. They made any AM radio unusable within 100 yards of my house and cut my ADSL speed in half.
That just looks like an explosion waiting to happen...at least to me.
Lots of cool ideas here, im still using a shoebox and the two pieces of my VAMO box to hold everything. I Use the Shoebox's lid as my coil building station...not very macgyver. 
Nah. Looks can be deceiving. The cube taps are rated 15 amps. The chargers are 1.2V/350 mA and 3.7V/300 mA. The batts are not the best: 1050 mAh protected ICR but that's what we used for the lower power 3.7V rigs before IMRs became available. I used them for a year and a half without incident. By the time IMR 14650s were available from Efest (AW had them for a while but discontinued them) I was using IMRs in a 18xxx VV/VW APV.

That's funny. I repurposed My Hubby too! He smiles every time he checks the bank account. My cig addiction was upward of $400 a month. Now it is maybe $80 to zero.
they are talking about the plastic off-brand cotton swabs, which are indeed like little tiny straws -- not the brand name "Q Tips", which are solid, and made of cardboard not plastic.
ETA: ooops, i see i missed an entire page pf this thread where this was already covered. please forgive.
and to the thread topic.... i got a cheapo desk organizer from Staples clearance rack; it has tiny drawers in front to hold little bits and pieces, replacement coils, extra dropper tips; shallow rack on top for juice bottles, and tall holders in back for batteries to stand upright.

Actually a small fishing tackle box would probably be great as a vape tool box.
Not a fishing tackle box, but it's just about the same size.

Not household but I got this at walmart for my "out and about kit".
Somewhere around seven dollars.

I also have a dental tool that's useful (previously mentioned), jar from spaghetti sauce ( or something) for holding atomizers that can one day be rebuilt should I want or need. I took cardboard from a cat food box and made little drawers to stack my DIY flavorings. Only other thing coming to mind is a saltine box layer with paper towel (for drips) and stabbed my syringes into it. I like to keep my flavorings from mixing.
So far, and I have only been getting into this a short while, I have converted the medicine cabinet in my 1/2 bath for juice storage. Use shot glasses to hold tanks (Pro tanks, Iclear30's) and emptied a portable toolbox for a coil build kit.
