Macro/Micro Line?

[JJA5]

Hi,
Silly newb question.

Whats the difference?

 

[Lovetone]

macroline - the hose that connects your ASA (where your air system is) to your markers regulator

microline - thinner diameter hose similar to that found on cocker front blocks and other marker internals such as EGO / Timmy and i guess Ions

someone will no doubt flame me if im wrong

Is'nt there just different sizes of mAcroline, dont think mIcroline exist in the paintball world.

...

dont think microline exists at all?? im also pretty certain there is only macroline.

 

[mikey601]

No, sorry i stand corrected theres is such a thing as microline, its a very small version of macroline smaller than what ions use...

Thought i would add that

as a cocker owner, i'm 99% sure the microlines are the small thin hose's on the front of the 3way on a cocker/dc2
as everyone else says the Macroline it the stronger, hose from the ASA(air tank bit) to the reg

don't forget clothes line

Remember Mamba microline anyone? Oh those were the days

The small hosing that you are all refereeing to is called low pressure hosing not micro line.

Micro line is a plastic hose using push fittings, similar to macro but with a much smaller internal bore. It had a higher working pressure than the original LP macro used by Smart Parts on the Shocker 4x4 but new higher pressure macro made it redundant.
