I kinda like that set up that was posted. I might go for that with my fc187.
Depending on how a persons cape station is set up it could work out for the better. Instead of the nanos cord flopping around the nano could stay in one place (the stando would be dope for this)
Anyone know of a place to buy ready made cape safe tubing that fits the nano stem and gong?
I'm always coming up with ideas for this cape I just wish I had the tools to make the assecories.. I have a secret semi game changing plan I may be working.
Good silicone tubing can be found many places. I used to buy mine from
US Plastics. They have a huge selection and much good stuff. After a couple orders I started getting it on Amazon. Not sure what size you would need to fit over a stem (or however you would be using it) but there are quite a few listed
here.
Important thing is that you want high-temp food grade. Food grade (NSF 51) is what I have used with no problems. I've only used stuff rated stable at temps to 450 - 500 F. More supple/flexible works better for most applications. And, better/easier to buy it a little tight and stretch it on than get ID as wide as you are putting it on and having it loose & falling off. It stretches and squeezes very well (even better when warmed). So you could buy wide enough ID to stretch over the outside, or with right OD can stick it in a stem/GonG as it looks like
@Onehithigman did with his DBV hose.
Can also purchase tubing from
7th Floor (Silver Surfer/DBV/etc) that comes in different colors. Friend who has one never really liked the stock and uses NSF 51 now. I never really liked the stock on it either (mostly because of stiffness). Stock tubing was never on my EQ. Was so nasty it went straight to the garage where it was used for other things.
More on tubing than you would ever want to know can be found in this thread
Whip Tubing - All Your Questions Answered - but be careful with the links to products. I looked at one of my old posts and links to Amazon still work, but go to slightly different (and not high temp enough) products.
But again, for reasons listed above and a few more, I'm not only sticking with nano>glass>glass - am very happy that's the native setup! Though it can be cool looking to have a scientific tube in your rig, it was one of the biggest reasons I looked for something better than the EQ. Tubing can be a real PIA and gets dirty pretty quick. The dirtier it is, the more it seems to collect (vapor condensation and who knows what else!). Reclaim is a pain too, and really hard to safely clean it all the way.
