I've rarely, almost never, had a situation where they are too loose. There must be an issue with your blade or how you are using the machine.
Biscuits are great and I use them all the time for putting edging on shelves, long miters, solid wood buildups, window and door casing miter joints to name a few applications. I bought a Domino a few years ago but find I often reach for the PC biscuit jointer first. Ridiculous as it might sound, I even went so far as to add the Festool plug to make connecting to my auto-start vacuum easier/faster.
