Welcome and glad you joined.
Spinning coil could be caused by several problems.
I would contact:
Local B&M Vape Shop (Visit) -----Might be simple.
Vendor who sold it ---see if they will repair or replace or advise (any authorized distributor).
Manufacturer contact ---see if they will repair or replace or advise.

The v2 is arranged a bit oddly. The cap is bel on both by a screw thread at the top of the coil and by o rings at the bottom. You need to unscrew till the thread releases the. Pull. The top cap should come off revealing the coil and glass

When screw threads get cross threaded the only way to repair them is using a tap or a screw chaser to recut the threads. These coils are very fine and shallow so you’d most likely need a machinist to do it correctly.

Next time, turn the coil backwards and you’ll feel the threads align. And don’t over tighten them.

If you are fairly handy, and you can't replace the pin, you may be able to straighten the threads a bit using the end of a utility knife blade, very carefully reshaping the threads (you will need magnification glasses and a bit of talent). My husband did this on one of my 510 pins in a tank, and was pretty successful. He has steady hands and a lot of experience. If you have a threading kit, that may be of use as well (although my husband said he couldn't use his, because my 510 pin wasn't standard to his kit. The exacto knife and a lot of patience can work, if the threads aren't too destroyed.

Be very careful when screwing/unscrewing tanks, you really want to not overtighten or mis-tighten. Tanks don't need to be screwed down with a lot of pressure, that usually means something is going wrong. Mine wasn't a mis-thread, but a drop, which misaligned some threads.

Best of luck, if it's new you may be able to warranty it.
