Best quick release hose clamp

[Walde]

What quick release (reusable) clamps are you using on your long hose?
At the moment I have small o-ring between long hose and boltsnap so that it can released by just pulling "hard".
Would like to get some reusable solution for practicing.
Maybe something like in the picture below.

a small cable tie will do, if you twist the boltsnap the tie will break.

I do something similar to Grant. A loop of bungee attached to a bolt snap and looped around the mouthpiece works well for me. It gives enough that the 2nd stage comes right out when you grab it but it is secure enough that I’ve never had it come out unintentionally.

I use the one that Razor makes and am happy with it (though I swapped the bolt snap for an XDeep style one). It's solid enough but will come out if you need it to in an emergency.

You really think that'll break away in an emergency air share scenario? I use those when diving backmount and don't think I'd trust it for this purpose. They're pretty tough!

I've had success running the o-ring + ziptie method Andy Davis covers on his website.

Yes.

And the OP's question was about reusable options, so...

A small cable tie will break away just fine. If you don't trust it practice on land so you can retie a new one.

When practicing underwater just get good at unclipping it.

A slight twist on a cable tie and it falls open

If your oring is too heavy you won't break it, and you can't easily twist the cable tie to pop it

Best to use a really light oring or maybe two so they break with only a pull leaving the tie on

Yes.

No!
