I've also used hearing aid tube on mine. Works very well. Forgot which one I used but it was the thick type.
Sorry for the noob question: I always thought that the advantages of custom is that they are "tuned" for individual ear (via driver placement, driver angle, etc.), which I thought was important because each ear is different anatomically. And I read that JH Audio "tune" each ear piece individually. Indeed, their Youtube shows how they use some computer software to do the fine-tuning.
So if the angle of the drivers does not matter, what is the advantage of going custom? I have been thinking of going custom (not home-made, though) but am not sure if there's real benefit besides comfort and fit.
I was in the Sony Store in London yesterday and noticed this display of Sony's flagship XBA4's. They claim that each driver is for a different frequency (Highs, mids, bass, super bass). Funny thing is that all four drivers look identical, there's no crossover circuitry and only one acoustic filter. Tried to get a better shot of the drivers to try and ID them but the staff started giving me odd looks.
