Is this item being sold in the new tube packages which are plastic instead of the aluminum tubes that would crack?

Mine have cracked, so wondering if they will consider repackaging this also.

The last two tubes I purchased were still in aluminum tubes. I haven't seen them in plastic packaging but that does not mean that it is not available. Only that the sellers that I buy from have the aluminum tubes. Hope I have been some help.

They are still in the aluminum tubes but in all of the years I've used this product I have never had a tube crack.

my recent tube is plastic, but I never had cracking trouble with the old tubes.

I don't know how it's being sold here but I just bought a new one from Whole Foods and they did re-design the packaging, but it was still aluminum. I've been buying this for years and my aluminum tubes have never cracked.

The tube I purchased is still the original aluminum type. Never had cracking though.

It's the aluminum tube...but so far it has really held up well, with no cracks, and the tube is more than half empty.

My tube is aluminum but I'm almost finished it and it's been perfect. No cracks. Love the cream.

We have this tube available. Something that is important to remember that companies do change packaging from time to time and when that happens often times a distributor or reseller is unaware or uninformed until their next order comes in.

I agree with you. There is only one bug to a package and it does not work in the tubing systems.Gram from Charleston

You will have to get hold of the manufacturer to see if you can get metal tubes. The plastic tubes are working just fine for me.

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

Mine is plastic. Way cheaper than the aluminum model, or it was when i bought it off Amazon.

Mine was not crushed. I assumed they changed packaging based on complaints.

The kits with the tubes obviously cost too much. Also, some of them are metallic and absorb heat. The plastic tubing does not absorb it as much. I love my Airaid. There is a new version for our vehicles that come with a new style box. I guarantee you will love it.

Guess they aren't. I just got a black 36" yesterday and it's all plastic. I thought I read that the new models have metal hardware. Looks like they still have NOS to send out....

Check your pickup tube, it may be cracked, most likely next to the reservoir Keep in mind that this product is no longer in production and there are no longer any parts available.

Yep, the new ones come with the rubber one preinstalled and the aluminum/titanium in the box so u can swap it out.

It appears they have. Our latest shipment came with square packages instead of the longer tubes and bigger box.

I have no vendor replacement. But bought a section of piping at Lowes that I needed for the top of the stack ( last section). It is a thicker metal but has been bused now for over a year and a half.

No that would be sold separately. The tube is already on the newer machines. It is just the canisters and the lids.

Not at all. They say that the new cups use the safe type of plastic, I don't know if that's true or not but I can say that the cup is a great replacement for my old one. You should get it. I studied it long and hard and I am very happy with the performance of the cup.

I don't think so. For $10, if it breaks just get a new one. This one is metal and more durable than the previous plastic one. It works great.

The one I purchased had metal but plastics should last. Its no like buying tires for you car.
