I would use steel braided, you'll get tough hands from them scraping all over the braided part and make you more tough!!

Anyone have a recommended brand of macroline to use?

[pumpamatic]

Macro, you can get like 5 different colors, and it's easy to work with and cheaper. I think I read somewhere that macro can do like 1000 psi, and micro can do much less than that, don't remember how much, but don't use micro on a mag. I like macro because it's easy to disconnect. At my local store they call it KAPP macroline, although I don't think it actually is. All I knows is my "KAPP" macro line works good at 850 psi on my nitro or whatever it is on CO2.

[MajorDamage]

Ok, I also say HooHa, but I didn't say it was your fault, I just said your macro did in fact leak, no matter who's fault it was.

ENDO!

Run macro only if its a straight line. Steel Braided if there is any kind of bending. Which sounds like what you are doing.
Ive always used the braided without a problem, but I do wish I could have some neeto hose colorings

[jurassic]

Stainless steel hose for its durability and ease of use. With QD at each end makes for easy removal for gun tear down and cleanup. The new aluminum and S/S swivel 90 deg fittings make setup a snap. The aluminum fittings come in several different anodized colors to match gun finish or as a highlight. Have them setup on the Mag and the cocker with no problems. I install all fittings with Loctite 242 a medium strength thread locker. Be sure the fittings are cleaned with alcohol and let set several hours before gassing up. No plumbers tape residue lodged in the reg. Have used micro and macro lines and the removing and reinstalling of hoses will weaken the ends. They have to be retrimmed until buying a new hose is required.

steel braided, ive always used steel braided and have had no probs

[paintballer187]

i would go SS, so much more durable and you don't have to worry about it blowing in your face or having a hard time to seal in the fitting
