Default Boro Tubing question

What is the smallest diameter tubing you guys have found? and Who sells it?

I found 12mm, I was curious if it comes any smaller, in colors.

Thanks!

it goes as small as 5mm with about a .5mm wall thickness. Wale carries it.

8mmx1.5 is the smallest clear tube i've bought. I got some uranium tubing that's like 3mm, that stuff is super tiny.

you guys are great!

I had someone ask for drinking straws, and 12mm sounded "big".

Thanks for the info.

In high school our Advanced Chemistry teacher taught us how to bend glass over a flame to make setups for experiments. We all thought it was cool to bend the glass in any direction we wanted and started making drinking straws for all of our friends too. Whenever we had to do an experiment, we made more and the teacher didn't seem to care. There were only 8 of us in the class, so it wasn't like he didn't know what was going on. Well, he suddenly cared when we used all the tube and he discovered how expensive it was to reorder! He was a new teacher and had never ordered the tube before, apparently he had let us use the supply that was supposed to last several years! Boy did we have cool straws though!
