Why an automotive grade vacuum hose? I would love to see your system by the way!
Yeah, did pump and release manually... In my mind, it's all about exposure hours.... the more time spent under vacuum conditions, the faster the growth.
Here's a few photos of one of my systems. https://ibb.co/album/N9MVwC
The key is the valve which I got at a pet store (air valve from a fish tank air supply). And you need to have no leaks. I really don't need a pump either since i can draw sufficient vacuum with my mouth. then just shut the valve. Probably get a higher vacuum pressure than your Brava system which is very low pressure. You can use anyone's domes and air line as long as there are no leaks. From what I have read, all this pumping and re-pumping is due to leaky systems or air locks or the pump it self. putting the valve in between the domes and the pump will go along way to reducing pumping.
I have also dabbled in what I like to call Breast Stretching... Using vacuum and a mechanical pulling... https://ibb.co/album/RYBPRz
