I was sitting on my bed eating a nice tender t-bone steak an enjoying a marathon of The Shield when I reach over to take a hit from the Vamo and Boom!! It feel off the nightstand with a sicking thud. The tank broke right off with the threading still inside. I'm freaking out over here! Please tell me I can get this out

I wonder if the old trick people use for broken off light bulbs would work. PLEASE I DONT KNOW IF THIS WILL CAUSE MORE HARM OR NOT SO DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
step 1: Take the batteries out of your device
Step 2: grab a potato and cut it in half
Step 3: Jam it in and unscrew the part thats needs to be got out using hte potato as a handle
Step 4 clean everything well and dry it weel
Step 5 enjoy

Try the potato seriously. Cut it to where it will halfway fit and jam it in and turn. That is the way to get broken lightbulbs out of a socket. You just have to make sure power is off or you become crispy critter.
I would try gluing an appropriate object to the piece that broke off. Use 5 minute epoxy. When it's set up you should be able to unscrew it. I'm thinking I would try using something like a small nail, a screw or maybe a bent up paperclip.
it's hollow down the middle no? Try a properly sized tapered flat head screwdriver...
Success!!! I got it out by chipping at a piece of the broken threading with a mini screwdriver then once I had a nice big chip in it I angled the screwdriver and push and wahla the piece starteded turning!! Is it common for tanks to break that easily? This was the first time it dropped...
I extracted the broken vivi nova threads 3 times in the Lavatube, just use a needle nose pliers. Put the needle nose in the middle of the broken threads, open the pliers to grip the broken part and rotate it out. Unfortunately, the vivi nova's screw on part is made so flimsy and thin...it can easily be broke ex. sitting on it or simply dropping the whole kit and if it lands wrong.
I have used this trick with a broken lightbulb! It does work great.
I guess this puts the Vivi Nova on the do not buy list. When it is actually hitting it is great but I was having a lot of problems with dry hits and a nasty burnt taste. I think I'm going to stick to carto-tanks for now. That is until my mech mod gets here then I'll have a reason to get into RBA's!!
Vivi ovals are a wonderful vape. Strong taste with tons of warm vapor that's just deliciouse. But my tanks threads do seem wonky and never seems to sit level. The nova is my home vapor device. Get a kanger protank for solid build
