Smok Aro center tube broken off?

[StitchM]

Has anyone ever had the center tube break off from the inside of a cartomizer? Mine's just done so on my smok Aro. I unscrewed the base to fill it up and leaked a full tank of fluid in the process, not realizing it had come loose.

It's come away at the top on the inside of the drip tip. Is this repairable or is it actually broken?

its broken... Evods do the same thing... time to upgrade consider getting the Bauway CE8 stainless steel mesh atty, low priced and they last forever ( well a couple of months anyway)

What the hell!! They're now at CE8! What happened to 6 and 7? Never seem to have heard of them.

Back to op's question. Yeah, the centre tube can break off. I tried cleaning the inside of one of my tubes with a cloth and tweezers. Might have pushed too hard against the tube and SNAP!
