it gets colder and sweats a quicker then steel braided, but function wise its the same.

Don't get the 32 degrees macroline kit. Even check the reviews, they aren't good. And be aware if you get one watch out it might blow up. Seriously they burst out of the hoses they suck and it can be harmful.

Anything else besides the 32 degrees macroline kit should be good and wont blow up on ya.

technically... it doesnt "SWEAT" its condensation. Because the hose is so cold, molecules in the air stick to it and get converted to liquid.
This may seem like nothing, but is good to know

ya know.....at first when I read that, I was like...."Geeze, lets be picky now!". But then I got to thinking about it, and sweating would mean that there were pores in the rubber, and that could mean potential leaks and such.
so yeah....good point!

Little tid bits of information do the mind good. (FYI, i DO know what causes it and what it is)

oi, sorry i didnt mean it to sound that harsh lol. I was actualy joking, i thought it was ammusing to be corrected like that.

I use the term "sweats" cause people can visualize it quicker and it dosent take as long to explain lol.

yeah, a lot of times, people use that term sweats in ways that it shouldnt, and its pretty much just accepted.
like a can or bottle or glass of cold liquid that is sitting in warmer air. usually we just say that it's got a lot of sweat on it.

yeah, dont buy cheap macroline, if it blows the pieces from the macro can cut you pretty bad

one thing i got to say. when i air up my gun it leaks from the macro fitting. (yes i know how to put macroline in) is there such a thing as a bad fitting? i changed macroline like i put a new one in and same thing always happens. Could it be the macroline? or is it the fitting? Oh and where it leaks, its not like at the top of the fitting. it leaks where the fitting and macroline is. it like sputters out really. (again yes i put the macroline in properly. it always does this. i put the steel hose back on for now).

there could be bad fittings, but if it leaks, just make sure your hose is long enough, because if its too short, it'll leak

alright. but it was locked in place (the macro). could it still be that it was too short?

did you put the white tape on yhe threads?
if its leakin from the threads
also my gun did that and i had to get a new fitting so it could be bad.

no thats what i mean it wasn't leaking from the threads. you know where you put the macroline. like it was sputtering from inside the fitting and coming out at the point where the macro and the fitting meets.

u said u know how to put macro line in. Well, im just saying, im not saying u dont know how to put it in, but make sure its at a 90* angle with the edge of the macro line (like a [_] with the bottom of the [_] being the part that goes into the fitting) again, im not saying u dont know how to put it, but that may be the case... Yeah its possible that its a bad fitting. Maybe its missing a O-ring inside or something, to seal it up. Possibly as stated, teflon might help seal it up. Wrap it around the macro and put it in.

no it could be that i dont know how to put it in as im new to macroline. but i do as everyone tells me too. Make the macro about 1 inch longer than it is supposed to be, and never force it a way it doesnt want to go. like dont force it to bend a certain way and stuff. but it's always on the same fitting that it leaks at. never the one at the asa its always the one on the foregrip that leaks. oh well its ok i dont use it now anyway i use steel braided hose. which i think is better in a way but more of a hassel when removing.
