It needs to break in. That string is really, REALLY stiff. That’s why you’re getting tangles.

Throw it in the dryer for a few minutes and see if that softens it up.

Keep playing it. Dragon string becomes a whole different thing after a couple of hours.  
Though I personally find toxics in general to be less tangly than most being they’re so glassy.

I had the same, exact problem and to top it off I was using a grooved bearing which led to some terrible binds. The Dragon String is so stiff that it needs to break in. But once it’s there you will notice a difference and I’m still using my first string since they last a very, very long time. Plus you can wash them to extend the life of the string a bit.
