LOL. Thanks. I can assure you that it'll dramatically reduce steep times!! Plus, who doesn't like to find a reason to play with power tools?

I found this "case" with ear buds in it at the local $ store. Took off the white paper, put some silver on (bling it how you want). Its approx 6.25 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. I can fit my ego twist 900mah with a ce4/ce5 or have a kanger mini on it. If I have my 1100mah I have to take the drip tip off the kanger mini for it to fit. It's solid and I don't worry about miss fires.
When we were using cigalikes, I grabbed a small corkscrew that we were not using (we have a better one) and used it to take the drip caps off the cartos when i filled them. I also have a ceramic tea mug with a strainer and lid that I use for cleaning coils now that we have moved up to Evods.
I bought my husband a cheap tackle box for all his vape stuff. I am using disposables . Looking to upgrade though.

I lost my positive post insulator for my nemesis when I was cleaning it. Tried to use a silicone ear plug I used for shooting and it worked for a couple days until I could get new insulators in lol...
I wrap the tops of my PT and Puritanks that are filled with juice with scotch tape and write the juice name on them. Then when I change juice I remove and re tape. Note write the name then tape over it. It will rub off.
I took a used wine bottle cork and put a bamboo kebob skewer in the hole left by the cork screw.
It stands upright and I use it for drying and displaying my drip tips.
The cork and bamboo help to absorb the water.
Nothing fancy but it took 30 seconds to make and it works great!

Some of you are really bringing your A game to this thread. I sadly, am not. Still using shoebox, but its tearing from all my juice and mods weight. time for a macgyver upgrade! I feel inspired by you all!
not sure if it qualifies as a "household item", but this stuff has been really useful for coiling and wicking with cotton (especially yarn): 2mm brass pipe
Thread the yarn thru and you've got an easy spot to coil, secure to atty, pull tube and cotton thru and then slide tube off. Have to cut it with a dremel or saw because it crimps really easily.

Found It!!! In my head, I knew there was a tool my father (who is now no longer able to answer the question) had when I was a kid, that he'd chuck up tiny drill bits in to do detail on his woodcarving. I've been desperately seeking something suitable for retasking as a coil building drill bit holder. While I do have a lovely mini file handle that does well for 3mm, I wanted something that would go smaller.
pin vise!
Don'tcha just hate when a term you know you had as a young'un slips through the holes in your timeline? =)

These are my favorite things to use for airflow restriction. They work very well.
Got a tank you can't get apart? Need to get a grip on it?
Try a cheap mouse pad!
Stole (not the mouse pad) this idea from my guys at my favorite B&M.

I've used various things at different times, in my 6 months of vaping, which btw has taken me "into the rabbit hole" 
paper clips through the tips of my I clear 16's to realign those pesky silicoln head toppers, I use these rubber bottoms to my old Dunkin Donuts coffee mugs to hold carto condoms and my modified syringe (that I clean out cartomizers to reuse with)
oh and I have recently made a travel case/holder for my mods and attys out of a verizon cell phone box, incorporating some 1 inch foam, I will try to remember to edit this with some photos later, as it is passed my bedtime
This is a great thread, I am subscribing! happy vaping to all, and to all a good nite

bought a plano double sided tackle box for 4 dollars at walmart to carry my juices, atomizers, batteries, charger and protanks. works excellent and is easy to carry with you anywhere you go.
