Hey guys, thought i should share my new tube, as i haven't heard of the brand but wanted to give them some good words... The tube is a 7mm 21" Crush, stemless inline. Hits really smooth and has absolutely no drag. The inline tube is pretty big diameter with 5 big slits. Don't mind the broken stem, my 18-14 converter is being borrowed and the stock 18mm tini is also being borrowed. The slide I'm using is a local artist but not sure of the name. Enough talking time for the pics and milk video. Camera isnt the best, no macro setting and no tripod for video. Lemme know what yall think!
Any idea on why after cleaning my tube's i get a white haze? im using 91% iso/salt, rinsing with distilled water.

Thanks man, and got it local in Orlando at Mystik. First time for me too, sorta like the SG gridline but one large tube instead of 3-4 small ones,

Anyone know someone who makes 90* inline ash catchers?

The white haze is from the salt. My suggestions are first of all Grunge Off... it is by far the best option. But if that is not an option go for soaking it in either just the 91% iso alcohol over night, or i heard of chemical engineers being able to get a hold of 100% alcohol which is supposed to work great.. if you can get it. sorry if that doesn't really help.

the white haze is a calcium build-up. You can get rid of it by soaking in CLR but I have heard that it will eat away your label reeal fast so you gotta be careful. Another option is rinse your tube with the hottest water you can get, and i mean hot hot, like burn the fuck outta yourself hot.

there are many more industrial cleaners you can find all over the place (acetone, simple green, etc.) but if you have the option go buy a bottle of grunge off, reuseable so it should end up being cheaper than the ISO, and I feel like my tube is safe as ever when im soaking.

as for the inline I would suggest hitting up SGW, I really like his inline designs and you can find him pretty easy if you look around.

Best solution for the deposits is to bathe the tube in hot water & a few spoon fulls of palmolive. Works wonders.

If I'm only putting ro/di water in the tube then how is it a calcium build up problem? Not saying it Isn't, just curious.

Wow Crush is getting into the Gong tube game. Crush is a disributor out of Az which sells all American glass.
