macro vs wire braded

[overkill8000]

ok i look and didn't see this post but if is some had already posted sorry.........
my wire braded hose broke and now im wondering if i should go macro or stick with the wire braded.i have a 88 3000 crossfire and i think its high not sure its a older tank so what your thought on the subject....................

so what do yall think and please no hate post.

go macro, it has the same chance of breaking as a SS line and its a LOT easier to handle

I switched back to macro recently.

It's lighter

It's tons easier to work with

It works as a fuse if your tank reg creeps.

Just buy really good macro and fittings from Tunaman or Squid, and change it before it gets rediculus.

First off, learn how to spell "Braided". Second, Punctuation is your friend.
Third, you will need macroline fittings and macroline to set up a new air line. Fourth, your tank is most likely a standard output pressure.

SS is a bit more durrable. like you can cut it with scissors. macro is easier to put it and take out and simpler.

im a macro guy.

I like macro, doesn't take more than .5 seconds to take out the line from each fitting. VS 1-5 minutes of a wrench and hoping not scratching your marker.

[abunkerer]

I like braided because I think that it is more durable,
But macro seems to work just as well, and it is really easy to take your gun apart if you have macro.

I have always used SS because I found in more durable, also, I could set it up once and not worry about it for a long time. On my Phantom I have a hardline, and that is just plain sweet.

....no, i have never seen ss break, i have seen macro blow all the time, also, my ss is no harder to handle than any of the macro setups i had on 20+ other markers.

Can u use pressures above 1200PSI on a macro?

[Codekevin0403]

i wouldn't try putting more than 900psi through a macro line but that's just me

I tried bouncing my mag with 950psi going through macro, and it started leaking in less than 30 seconds. But if you have a lp gun, i'd go with macro simply because it's easier to fit and also it's lighter, as aforementioned.

u guess the search feature is broke again

i bought some of tuna's macro and fittings for my emag, ran 1200 psi thru it from my flatline, and no leaks. and i spent all day last saturday running 1000-1100 psi through my macro, over 1000 shots. the only problem that i had was that i had to lower my velocity because the input pressure was so high, and then at the end of the day, it wasn't shooting because i guess the input pressure dropped off a bit or something. took alot of hair pulling, sat out the last two games, got home, figured it out, and now my mag works perfect again. Macro has worked well for me so far.

That being said, i plan to change to SS hose soon, simply because i want a quick disconnect to get the last 400 psi out of my line. that way i dont have to take the whole xvalve out of my gun to relieve the pressure there, and when i *want* to take off the xvalve, it doesnt require an alan wrench to unscrew the thumb-screw the first 1/8 turn because theres so much pressure. It also doesnt shoot the on/off out of the xvalve... SS only costs around $20 for what i need as well, so when i get the cash, i plan on doing that.

You can easily use a quick disconnect in conjuction with macroline.
