So I just got my drop today and some macro because it is only like and inch from my x-camber(I use co2) When I put my co2 in and turned my on off on my macro exploded is it just the marco (I had like a u shaped curve) or was it the co2? can I just put a new peice on just try not to make the curve?

The macro itself blew out? If so, you probably have the LP macroline Get some HP stuff and it should work a little better.

So I assume the line itself gave out? Or did it just blow out of a fitting?

the line gave out. I am tempted to do it again but this time make the hose as sort as possible because last time I left about 1/4 inch I didnt need. Should I give it one more shot?

is it safe?   I was thinking maybe it semi kinked the hose so it built up pressure.

Hmm,

Methinks in spite of all the advice to the contrary , Macro line (High pressure = 500 PSI ?)  isnt what you really want , go to Palmers Pursuit and look at their steel braided lines , they make them in all sizes .

I would think it would, otherwise it'd be useless.  If that stuff doesnt hold up, nothing will.  steele lines are just macro wrapped in steel braid so they dont get slashed/ripped.  so you should be good with that macro.

The C02 tank is not a pump, so the pressure at one end is the same as the other.

Macro is very hard (if not nearly impossible) to kink completely (no airflow)

Uh...I aired up mine and I just installed Macro.. no problems at all... if anything get that orange macroline on Action Village.. once my macro finally explodes I'm going to get it.*NOTE* the first time I macrolined it did leak the second time I installed a new hose it didn't...So try installing it again, fixed it for me! Oh yeah, here's the ornage Macroline.. it's rated up to 2,200! Trust me, it won't bust. http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=SRVKauTCJP NKE6HS3hiKwu5k7FX_tj2IAV0=?ProductID=n6nAqArby%2e0AAAENbH6aR mC1

Doubtful, they have been out for awhile...goto Palmers Pursuit website, they should have some powerful macro that you can order online on their website.
