It should hold it very firmly into place are you using the same sized tubing as the fittings. If you are check with a pair of calipers to make sure the tubing is not out of spec causing it to be slightly undersized to where it can't compress properly.

Yeah same size tubing as fittings, they pull off with a little effort,

Which ones are you using exactly seems like something is off if that occurs.

Those are 3/8ID 1/2"OD fittings and would not work with the thick walled 5/8OD tubing though.

I have the sizes right. Maybe it's just the monsoon brand, is swiftech good on compression fittings?

If the tubing is the correct size and not out of manufacturing spec by being under on the 5/8" OD or large on the 1/2"ID then I would probably contact Monsoon to see if this is a common problem. As for swiftech they make good fittings.
