Looping will naturally wear out strings quicker so just use your normal string. I’m told it doesn’t matter if it’s 50/50 string or 100% poly but I use 50/50 (since there’s a chance the full poly will melt due to friction). As for it falling apart, maybe it wasn’t screwed in all the way. The adjustable gap system is so that players can fully screw in the halves without it having an effect on the gap width because that’s what the adjustable gap mechanism is for. I hope this helps!

That’s what you call a starburst response system. It grips the string just like what silicone does in 1A yoyos. It will make strings wear out near the bearing so it’s normal
