Are there any pumps or waterblocks that come with hoses when you buy it?

Tubes come with full kits but probably not with just a pump or waterblock. Most sites (if that's what you're talking about) should have tubing availible to buy per foot.

I use vinyl, but I can't seem to get it to kink ...especially once it has water running through it.

I can't stand vinyl anymore.. Once I got to see how clearflex tubing works up close, I won't use anything else.

Is vinyl supposed to be better than the regular plastic tubes?

Never mind, i found the answer. I'll probably just be using clear pvc plastic hoses. I read some guides and they didn't really mention vinyl at all. Could you explain why vinyl is better other than it's cheaper price? thanks.

What wall thickness vinyl are you using? I've seen 1/8th which looks like it would be hard to kink. Saw a 10ft roll of it for about 5 bucks but I got 7ft of clearflex from mcmaster for the same price. I can sacrifice 3 extra ft for durability.
