No, well, mine was caught in the chimney, but then I screwed down the next coil Very Tightly, which broke into two pieces when I unscrewed it. I was able to get that chunk out of the base, but it appears to have Done Something, no new coils I shove in there register on any of my mods. I believe my chimney may be slightly crooked, now.
If I didn't prefer the Vika tank, I'd probably be more concerned, but for right now, I'm just letting it sit until I figure out what to do with it. But, I wasn't very impressed, and for whatever reason, I had to vape it at higher wattage to get decent flavor and I just really Like the Vika tank, comparatively. I'll hand it to the husband at some point if I cannot figure it out. I even prefer the LOOKS of the black vika tank, so I'm not super worried about it.
