No. It's not worth repairing anyway.
Unless you pay for a premium expensive one, imho it's never really worth it even trying to repair.
If it's smok, even worst, garbage directly.
IF you can get the piece screwed off the 510 of your tank you MIGHT be able to get it reseated in the 510 connector of the Mod. I personally would never trust the Mod again and for that reason I would toss it out and get a new mod of a different brand. The quality of SMOK products can be very iffy in my experience. I tend to treat them on a "If I can get it cheap then I don't care how long it holds up" basis. I run them until they give me trouble and dispose of them.
There are far more reliable brands out there. I seriously recommend doing some homework and finding a different mod.
The tank however might be salvageable if you can get the extra piece off it. Best advice be very careful when screwing tanks onto mods it is easy to cross thread them or screw them down too tightly which can cause a whole host of problems like this.
Welcome and glad you joined.
I would be guessing here because I can't see exactly what the problem is. It appears that the female thread (internal threaded) insert has come loose from the mod and is still attached to your tank male thread. Loctite* makes a retaining "glue" (almost any low-viscosity Krazy glue/Cyanoacrylate may work) made to strengthen slip metal interference fits. If you are not handy, I would take it in to any metal fabricating shop** and have them reassemble. Note that I made no comments on proper preparation of mating surfaces. That's a whole different multifaceted problem/techniques. In short, clean it and sand it may suffice.

Smok's 510 connectors on their mods are press fit (cheap) and it is one of the common problems with them. They have added screws to the 510 connector on the new Mag Kit, but it's still a Smok product and will fail prematurely because of something else. 
You might be able to press the piece back into the top with a vise or tap it in with a hammer and wooden block. I would NOT use a glue of any kind as that would insulate the piece from the mod body and cause connection issues.
As others have stated, time to find a new mod and preferably one that is not made by Smok.

And backpacks are not the best place for a mod to ride. Nor pockets or, egads, purses. Sorry ladies, I never liked using a tissue or a piece of gum from the bottom of momma's purse as a kid so I only imagine a mod would collect the same kind of dusty funk. I carry my mods in hand and the only ones that i ever had trouble with were...you guessed i....Smok. To the OP, dont try to repair that mod, go get a better one and learn how it works and how you're supposed to use it. There is probably a YouTube video about every device on the market so there is a good resource for learning opportunities.
I have a separate compartment for my mods but I really should put them IN a container and IN my purse. I have broken a tank once.
This is good advice. I don't particularly care to eat or use most of the things I carry around in my purse
Every time I empty it I am like, "Eeeew." and/or "Why do I even HAVE this" with the occasional, " WHAT IS THIS?"
Sound advice to all, I'mma gonna find.... a zippy thing for my mods.

Thank you for all your answers and what mod brand do you recommend?
What is your budget?
Do you have something else to use to prevent you from smoking cigarettes?
If you have a limited local selection, tell us which brands are available and appeal to you, please.
Cheers

Everyone has their favorites. Right now, I'm using a vaporesso switcher. It does a good job and seems to be consistent and dependable. Powers any of my various tanks I feel like using on it with grace and ease. I had a voopoo drag, and other than the finish coming off of it fairly quickly, it was a workhorse too. Basically anything is better than smok. My first box box mod was a smok tpriv. It worked great for about 8 months. And then I didn't work at all, for no reason.
Most popular i know of these days are the Aegis mods by Geekvape, there should be at least 1 Aegis that could suit you in the 4-5 in existence.
My budget Is about 50 euro.
I haven't got something other than vape.
And i think local selection isn't limited.
But im trying to fix my mod, so i don't know if I'm ready to buy another mod.

Even if it wasn't a smok, it's broken. If unscrewing the tank pulls the female end of the 510 connector completely out of the mod, its broken. The electronic connection is not there anymore, even if you get that part off your tank without further destroying it and press it back into place, the soldered connection will not re solder itself and complete the circuit. I'm not trying to be harsh on ya, but really that thing looks like it's done. Get a new mod.
New mod.. Sorry. An ages solo should NOT break the bank and it is a LOVELY mod in ALL ways and completely indestructible. Really . You should be able to find one.
