A vacuum tube does not contain any gases. All the gases are evacuated from the tube and only vacuum is left.
collecting gas
A quenching gas such as a halogen is used in a GM tube to damp or quench the electron cascade. Recall that the electron avalanche is initiated by incident radiation that the tube was designed to detect. At some point that electron avalanche needs to be damped to "reset" the tube so it can react to another incident. Quenching gas does this.
A eudiometer is used to collect gas and measure its volume. It is essentially just a glass tube that the gas bubbles into. It resembles an upside down graduated cylinder or buret.
The gas in a fluorescent light bulb tube is composed of mercury, along with argon, xenon, krypton or neon. It is important to dispose of the tubes properly after they are used, since mercury can be toxic to people and animals if it is released into the environment.
The gas might be an irritant or toxic. Another possibility unrelated to the gas itself is that the contents of the test tube might unexpected be ejected from the test tube and hit you in the face!

There is no gas inside it is a vacuum tube.

A vacuum tube is simply a tube with no oxygen nor carbon dioxide in it (aka no air).
