A negative post for my BF Atomic clone was press fitted. Now it's separated from the base.
What options are there to secure it to the base again?

Press it back in. Tools would be a clamp, vise, press and socket or maybe vice grips or maybe a Hammer.
OR buy a new atty.

I can put the peg back in hole very easily. It's that loose.
I may try to soldier it but worry about the insulator on the positive post. I'd want to remove that too.
I've ordered a similar atty from Reomods, their Reomizer 4 + their Reomizer 2 for backup. In the meantime I'll probably run a single coil or use another mod.

More of a trait of poor tolerances, which doesn't just happen to clones. Granted it's more likely with a clone and the scale of manufacturing they go through but I've had authentic USA made rda's with the negative post pulled out and the clone(s) I own of the same RDA have not.
I ended up slightly denting the area around the press-fit hole with a center punch four times to slightly reduce the diameter of the top of the hole, then re-pressed the negative posts back in to the deck, and they have been fine since then.
