HOLY MOLY what alot of replies. The site has been down for me for a few days =\
Anyways, I had concerns about tape for the very reason many of you mentioned. And yes I do know which way to wrap it =).

Here's the thing guys. I dont have many swivel fittings on my hoses, so if I had a leak, I'd be spending about 2 hours removing hoses and reassembling them (potentially having more leaks).
I suppose I wont use anything, maybe a little oil like was mentioned, and if I do have a leak, when I re-assemble everything I will use a sparing amount of dope on the outer part of the threads.

Wish me luck with no leaks!! All the potential havoc of disassembly are all new hoses and fittings/cylinders, so hopefully leaks wont be an issue.
I appreciate the help guys =)
