    Emag.....Macroline, or Stainless?

    Here's the "Word". I'm getting my Emag tomorrow! Woo Hoo!

    Now comes the really tough decision, Macroline or Stainless Steel hose? I would like the "Mystery hose", , to have a quick disconnect too but I'm not really sure how to do it with macroline. So if anyone could help me out...

    Anyone who helps me out will be entered into a drawing to win $1 million dollars. Void where prohibited.

    Congrats on the emag1 I love mine. VOted stainless braided-the only way to go. Get Q/Ds too...makes it easier to get the valve off.
    X-mag #10. Nuff said.

      I voted macro, because you wanted a q/d, and macroline will always have that. You simply pull back on the collar and yank out the macro and there you are, quickly disconnected. It's a lot cheaper, and you cut it to the exact length you need.

        Macro, cuz it won't scratch up that purty SFL e-mag(well, at least the one I hope on getting).

          What I mean is an actual quick disconnect. I've seen it on macroling before. I don't like tearing up the hose which tends to happen over time.

              Stainless, macro hurts a lot when it blows and smacks your hand....trust me.

                SS all the way. I've used macro before, and it was cool...er...while it lasted. THe fitting went in about 3 months, and I put some SS hose on, no leaks since. Just get some SS hose, and a good QD, makes life worry free and easy.

                  Parker Paraflex Macroline all the way!!

                  Tunaman sells it, its easy to use, I have a regular quick disconnect on mine, (just get a straight fitting and screw the macro fitting to it).

                  I have tried to blow it up, used 3000 pounds on it and still didn't blow it. I considered 4500, but decided if 3000 didn't do it, it would never blow in normal use.

                  By the way, I have had Stainless steel blow up on me several times, both at the fitting and have had the hose start to leak, admittedly it happens less frequently than other macros but I've never had Parker blow up.

                        Go with stainless if you want your gun to look like this!

                            Ok I have seen Macro explode to meny times go stainless... and to keep our gun from getting scratched up put some Shrink tube from radio shack on it and heat it up. it will take you all of 5 min.

                              me and snakestang had like 2 peices of macroline explode on us this weekend
                              come to find out the tank was putting out a lot more pressure than it was supposed to
                              the 2nd time we were listening for where it was leaking from and we were fairly close to it (or i was atleast)
                              and BOOM
                              so
