I'm, eh, a bit reluctant to even bring this up, but hey, more fodder for the cannon. My old 6" SPG hose just started leaking like a sieve at the swage/hose fitting (thanks Ben_ca for sending me a spare!), and I've since started storing the spg untied from the reg body to relieve pressure on the hose.
The other day, I was at browsing the aisles at the LDS and noticed that they had a very thin-diameter (maybe 5mm?) 6" miflex HP hose, which has shorter swage fittings and a bending radius that is far tighter than a standard hose. I'm not a big miflex fan, and far be it from me to spend $45 for a 6" hose, but I was wondering if anyone had tried this for their stage and had any opinions? I've always been a little uncomfortable at how much bend there is in the hose, and now that I've actually seen it fail, I'm even more wary of it.
