macroline sucks.

[trains are bad]

Does it? I've never run it on my mag because I never liked it. I'd run it on low pressure stuff, but never full tank pressure.

Now that I think of it, I've never used it, so I don't really know how it performs. Do you people run macroline on mags like at 900+ psi? Without ANY problems?

My current grease hose is just a tad too short so I'm gonna need either stainless or macro. Macro just seems so cheap and generic.

What are the best fittings to use? I'd plan on using the stuff in the FS forum.

ive had 1200psi running through normal macro at no problem, im looking into picking some of ths stuff that tunaman sells however as i hear its more fliexible.

[MonsterMag]

Yes "Parker" maco , the stuff tuna sells its alot stronger and flexable (Which is better)

most crappy macro cant go over 1000psi , Trust me a maflo with a 1200psi output and some store bought stuff = desaster

are fittings just fittings? I mean they don't even seem to have markings on them. Aren't they, like, rated?

I actually wish you could buy this grease hose I have in one inch increments, it's the best. I have been running it for 2 years.I wonder why it isn't popular in paintball.

I accidently ran like 1000 psi into my tank and exploded.. the fitting blew in pieces and there was a huge gash down the length of the line where it had exploded. Macro-line is not intended for paintball use, and it isnt safe. It is the best solution when you dont have anything else, though.

Wrong macro is made for paintball use only

How do you run air into your tank? You mean filling it?

Your were most likey using "Da Crappy Stuff"

Fittings are fittings, they are the same and just hold the macro in place , they aree all the same.

hehehe..ive had my share of..well..problems with macroline before..i made a thread on it if you care to search..but ive since switched to SS line,much better.

[MonsterMag]

In my opion

Macro line is good for preset tanks
Macro is bad for adjustable tanks

Steel is good for both

i was happy with my macro untill i got my flatline then i started haveing problems with bleading the hose so no i'm running a SS hose with a QD and slide check bleader valve

Do that with your Macroline setup and you can bleed it just like a SS hose with QD setup.

As for fittings, use the norgren fittings.

Im using macro w/ two 90deg w/ a Crossfire preset tank and Ive never had a problem yet. Look at the pics in my sig. I am using quite a long peice of macro too. Ive had that one length of macro on my emag for about 3-4 months now and not a leak or an explosion.

I personally prefer macro cause I use a warp feed and I was trying to find ways to cut down on the weight of my gun. Hence the stiffi (which the accuracy is an added bonus), macro, etc. Now all I need to do is replace that heavy drop I have w/ something lighter.

SS is a safe route to go though. But, I have no worries using macro. if it blows, it blows, its cheap and I will just replace it.
