Does anyone here have experience with monsoon fittings? I'm looking at switching over to them for my next build and I'm hearing mixed reviews about the quality but they are all from 2012/13 so I'm looking for a more recent review or from someone who has first hand experience with them.

I haven't heard any complaints myself, and they make some rather cool looking fittings however, I don't recall (not saying there isn't) anyone here using them and relating experiences positive or negative. If I were you, I would double check at OCN in the water section they likely have more dedicated water people than we do, unfortunately.
Also, if you find a definitive answer, please let us know, the more info we all have, the better.

I have seen several builds here [Mods rigs]that use them, and I haven't seen complaints. I would like to try them sometime, it looks like a very innovative design. If you decide to use them please show off your build in the Mods rigs section.

Thank you all for the replies, I think they look pretty good myself and I like the idea of saving my fingers from the abuse normal compression fittings put them through.

Oh how I would love to! It looks like such a pain to make it happen though.

Way too easy. A 20 heat gun and it bends like rubber and offers better flow since there is zero kinking

I'm starting to look into it, now the question is whether to use bitspower acrylic fittings or the monsoon hardline compressions. I like the minimalist look of the bitspowers but the monsoons look more secure.

I used the Monsoon fittings and they work great, really great. Only issue I have is they fit so tight that I had to cut my tubing and unscrew it all out when I changed to rigid. All my fittings are sitting in the top of my closet with the tubing still stuck in it lol. Other than that the fittings are really cool looking and work perfectly. Actually if you click on my ModsRigs the pictures are still up there before I swtched to rigid.

I did the revolver fittings and love them. very easy. I don't know about the chain gun fittings, they require a more perfect fit in tubing bends and lengths. 1 simple o ring sealing is easy on the revolver style. And forgiving.
