Would that leach stuff into the water though?You could use a cut plastic clothes hanger, as well......
Nope...not for the brief amount of time you'll be using it...if ever

Or take an ordinary plastic biro, empty the ink bit and just use the empty case taped/tied to the airline. Or any other similar rigid small thing you can use to stiffen the end of the airline tubing and give you more control over it.
OK, @Rocky998 ...without "Googling"...what's a "biro"?
Wait, you guys don't use the word biro? I didn't know that!

If you were putting my life on the line for it I couldnt tell you
Just your average cheap pen that can be unscrewed and the ink part taken out, leaving you with an empty case to tape to your airline tubing
"László Bíró, a Hungarian newspaper editor (later naturalized Argentine) frustrated by the amount of time that he wasted filling up fountain pens and cleaning up smudged pages, noticed that inks used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge free. He decided to create a pen using the same type of ink.[5] Bíró enlisted the help of his brother György, a dentist with a useful knowledge of chemistry,[14] to develop viscous ink formulae for new ballpoint designs.[4]"

Because I forget that American's don't speak proper English
And because the point is to be able to remove the ink bit - the way you can in a cheap BIRO, but not with all pens
In the UK, we have a habit of using the brand name of the first used device. For example, you'll read UK members referring to hoovering the substrate. The first vacuum cleaners were made by the company Hoover, so all vacuum cleaners regardless of who makes them are now called hoovers and the process of using a vacuum cleaner is hoovering.
It's a bit like using the verb 'to google' meaning to use an internet search engine

Lazlo Biro would disagree....
