Even after seeing sonics pic of the smok vivi tank pulled in half, I pulled mine in half trying to do the exact same thing...
I shall assume I should fill the next one with a syringe, but I did a total disassembly the rest of the pieces in the interest of science (or as much as I could). The center tube fits into the base with o-rings which is why the tube and coil mount section separate from the base when the coil mount disk is too tight. Perhaps if I put a little pg in the tank first to lube the o-ring I might be able to pull it out from the bottom.
Maybe I will drill out the wick holes a bit while it is in pieces and replace the broken wire with a little heavier and longer length of insulated wire. I may have bent the tube a bit too much to really re-assemble it unless I can find the right size bolt to use to straighten it. The pics I took look like there is an o-ring holding on the top of the air/wire tube but I cannot get it to move (hence the mangled tube) Anyone else taken it apart further?

Time to order another one just to test with juice before I break it.
I am hard on equipment. I dropped my vivi mini and it broke off the tank at the bottom threads
