The company Cthulhu from time to time pleases vapers with its novelties, one of which is just a tube mod – Tube Mod. It should be said that this somewhat old-school device is unlikely to interest those who are used to adjust the thermal control curves and use the preheating at 0.1 Watts. But those who want to get original and non-standard device with Dual MOSFET transistors and variability of battery choice should definitely pay attention to Tube Mod by Cthulhu.
General Info
Tube Mod by Cthulhu is a compact tube mod designed to work with 18650 and 18350 batteries, equipped with Dual MOSFET protection and capable of working in bypass mode. Externally, this device strongly resembles the standard stainless steel mechmod, but its miniature size when using 18350 batteries is confusing. It is controlled by a small button on the top and is equipped with Dual MOSFET, so it has a standard set of protections, making it much safer to use. The Tube Mod by Cthulhu comes in two colors, steel and black.
Kit
Do not even think that in this device happened a miracle, and the manufacturer it somehow particularly equipped everything is simple to outrageous. But in the branded red tube, inside which is a canvas bag, you can find:

A card with warnings and Ohm’s Law.
Appearance and Design

The device is equipped with a simple Dual MOSFET board and this is a special pride of this device. The presence of this board allows to provide it with quite a good set of protections – from low/high resistance, from overheating, from short circuit, from wrong polarity. At the same time the board allows to use atomizers with resistance from 0,1 Ohm, which is not too bad for such a device. It is worth saying that the manufacturer in its recommendations indicates the minimum resistance of 0.15 Ohm. The manufacturer has made it possible to replace the board simply unscrew one screw that holds it in the top of the device.
