Anyone use this fill whip?

Haven't used one but still need to add female foster fittings but those are inexpensive, hose looks well made

I think it’s the same brand AoA sells. I one from AoA and I love it. I don’t want to use any other hose.

The price is certainly better than AoA's offering. I had saved this thread for future reference: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/flexible-fill-microbore-hose.1299601/

FYI- if you save it you may get an offer on it from the seller. DON'T counter offer it cause they'll give you $0.50 off the original list price

That is most likely a very good hose.
But after going to the seller's eBay site, have a few reservations
The first is that the ffairguns appears to be new to eBay and has 0 feedback
The second is that they are selling used scuba tanks that are out of date.
That fact in itself is not too disturbing but the product description indicates the tanks are safe.
And there is no additional warning whatsoever
It looks to be much too much caveat emptor
If it smells fishy it usually is
Just my 2 scents

I have been looking at tanks on EBAY and some are selling those out of date tanks as "Decorations"? Clearly a CYA move to avoid problems in case of an accident with the tank.

Yes, I can see hanging 60 minute tanks on the Christmas tree.
But seriously
Most of us in this hobby of ours understand that out of date tanks can pose a risk.
And it is, of course, our choice to use them or not
That includes me, with an outdated 60minute tank
I am aware of the risks, and also know that to use one I must have my own compressor because scuba shops will not fill them
However, I am reasonably convinced that this is not common knowledge, especially for newcomers to HPA
Therefore, it seems to me that a seller should-oughta go out of his way to explain (or at least point out) these things to potential buyers.
The more I think on it, IMO, ffairguns is certainly not purposely deceiving customers.
Just some transparency is needed

Well he sent me an offer of 8% off. Of course you can counter offer, which I did. He in turn counter offers me with $0.50 off the original list price. Kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It is what it is, respond with a "thanks", then removed the item from my save list. Life goes on, deals come and go.

@IMADMAN I've never seen this shop before, but this may possibly be that vendor. Both out of Denton, TX https://ftairguns.com/products/no-kink-flexible-micro-hose-39-5.html
My apologies for the previous suggestion. I'm just realizing this is a no-kink fill whip.

I bought 3 of these on amazon this year. Made in Germany and good stuff. Not that nokink stuff.
