Hmm. I had to google vortons to find out what they are.
As to what you could do with them...The first thought that comes to mind is something like the neubles from the book The Collapsium by Wil McCarthy.
Although I have doubts about the stability of such a thing (an object made out of arranged vortons, not the vorton itself), particularly when it would be given to pulling matter into itself, even if not as voraciously as a black hole. Although perhaps the charge might resist that...
If you could produce enough of them you basically have another form of exotic matter, denser than magmatter, but not BH dense.
Beyond that, I'm not sure. Others may have ideas or maybe something will bubble to the surface if I let the idea percolate in the back of my brain for a bit.
