I haven't had that kind of slipping, but I have noticed that the new Crystal Fellow seatpost that I have installed fresh out of the box had no grease on the threads. A big diameter bolt with no grease on the threads can cause the thing to bind like it's tight and not really be tight. Check the threads and also make sure there's a little grease between the head of the bolt and the washer it sets against. I hope that helps
