what type of joiners are you using silicon or rubber? if its rubber they tend to expand and get pretty floppy and weak once heated up so replace them with their silicon counterparts and you can also try using 2 hose clamps on each end of the joiner instead of 1

do that

and instead of using 2 clamps on each end, try the expensive clamps from plumbing places, they are much better and have less change of slipping than those cheaper worm gear ones

like what zei said, use better clamps, like the steel banded ones, with bolts that run through them and are spot welded onto the band. Tridon make those and are good shiet

you would be looking at $1-2 each, so a whole set is not terribly expensive.
