Hi, Nilesong, I (unfortunately) got one very similar with the ring inside a little lower down, the moisture, etc. I took photos of it and sent it with a descriptive email to the seller and he was so apologetic and he sent me a brand-new one. We decided that someone at the factory in China is probably playing around with the merchandise & then rinsing it out and putting it back in stock, thinking nobody would notice.
Normally, he said Anyvape never has issues like this, but now this is two in two weeks - not good at all for business. He will make it right I'm sure. So, I took the whole thing apart and used a toothbrush & soapy water to clean the gunky inside [learned how to take an atomizer completely apart for the first time - it was kind of fun] and am using it quite happily. I got two for the price of one, so no complaints here. It was a shock, though, when I first opened the box!!
