Assistance with Cthulhu tube mod.

[TheMTLguy]

Afternoon all, I would really appreciate some assistance.

I purchased a Cthulhu tube mod alongwith some VapeOnly 18350 batteries, I am using a VandyVape Berserker V2 MTL rta on top with a 0.54ohm mtl fused clapton inserted.

The mod however does not fire at all, there is quite a bit of battery rattle, it feels like the battery is too short and doesn't make contact at the top and bottom simultaneously.

I would appreciate any help, and am willing to provide any more necessary information.

TIA, Dillon.

I have to ask but are you sure you're using the right fitting?

 

[Stranger]

Check the lever on the bottom to make sure it is not locked.

check around 8m30; i think they resolved this by placing pad under the contact.
The allen that screws the board on may be tight and you may need to loosen it.
Battery orientation.

This was my initial thought, but only one of the fittings are able to fit the top piece and bottom pieces.

Please explain what you mean by lever?

I'll try and loosen the screw holding the board next, I have checked and saw that my board does indeed have the placing pad underneath the connection

The bottom of the mod screws in, u can tighten it to fit slightly shorter batteries

 

[THE REAPER]

Is your 510 pin sticking out far enough.

Oh, thanks, I have it as tight as possible and can hear the battery rattling end to end in the mod.

Yes, I am quite certain the problem is the battery not making contact on both sides

hi what happens when you try it in 18650 mode, does it fire ?

Unfortunately I only have 21700 batteries available, I need to rewrap my 18650's!

Its not possible to get battery rattle on this tube with an 18350 in 18350 mode, i just checked mine, the bottom screw in plate screws all the way in to the point that it comes oit on the other side.
