The little button on the side of the Flex Hose just releases the pressure inside the hose, it's not a shortcut to avoid screwing the hose on the valve.
@TurtleRecall I suffer that problem sometimes with continental inner tubes with removable valve cores, but still haven't found a better pump (flex hose is a great feature for me). Just avoid tightening too much, and carry a valve core tool just in case
