After much searching and consulting with the highest authorities at Stuckies, Here it is...
I've been thinking it would be easier with a drill press and the appropriate bit.
Not to drill it out, but to use it as a press and the drill bit to push the ring out.

I have 1 so far that dose that.. A simple trick I discovered by changing the cotton on the CLR to rayon ...was to not put the top of the CLR on tight.. so when I took the bottom off to refill the top ring nut unscrewed leaving the coil still screwed in the base.. just popped it out of the center and screwed back on top of the CLR coil again not tightening it.
Whew that was a lot of typing just for screwing a nut down a little loose...
That cap does get caught in there at times, but it is just lying in there. It's not screwed in at all. I just get the tweezers and fish it out. Takes two seconds.
I just poke the coil/base back in - then grab a couple threads of the 'cap' with the coil...
the coil (in base) is ~JUST~ long enuff to reach cap without threading base on {ez-pz}

kinda hard to explain (not in person) with words
but here goes, if this is what I think you're asking...
I had never had it happen before that the whole coil unscrewed and stayed in the top of the tank. This latest batch of CLR coils must be just slightly different than the ones I had bought previously, I have had them loosen up in the base and have had them where the the little coil cap would unscrew almost all the way, That was a minor annoyance, but having to fish out the whole coil is a PITA, so very glad that the, "Knock out the Pressed in ring" trick seems to have done the trick!
no , never had a complete coil come out on me (don't think)
but the cap comes off many-a-time...
I feel it is a perfect 'fit' , mashin the coil cap into the air tube
creating a good seal, which in turn allows the ego one to work so well
the cap is sealed in there so when you unscrew, it stays put but the coil/base rotates
I still lube the cap o-ring , but it helps not
have no idea why that tin insert is there
and why/how removing would help (either way)

I'm camping this week and the internet ain't the best BUT I see what you're talking about.Thanks.Puf. I haven't had that problem yet.
Not one hundred percent sure, but I think it lets the cap screw down just that tiny bit more, that it isn't jammed quite so fiercely into the chimney, that it bottoms out , but just seals on the sides instead. that's my guess though it does make a big difference!no , never had a complete coil come out on me (don't think)

ok , gotcha
the older ego one tanks have a bigger center air tube, and NO seal inside...
the newer ego one tanks (air tube) are smaller overall (inside and out) and now include a silicone washer inside...
so the new tanks have a smaller air passage, but I'd not know if I couldn't see it

They do? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I was thinking about getting a V2, but now you got me worried. Puff! I like the airflow in the old eGo Ones just fine. I don't want sticking caps either. It happened to me once at the beginning and I didn't care for that at all. Lots of work to dig that cap out.
well, like I said, couldn't tell the difference, I SEEN it (by looking I can tell size difference)
so far as I'm concerned, same air draw (to me)
then I say, just poke your base/coil back in, catch a thread on the cap, pull it out (ez-pz)
