Well, the problem isn't print quality, it kinks going into the extruder without even laying down the print.

I am clear on the issues you're having.

The faster the mass flow rate through an orifice, the more force that is necessary to generate that flowrate.

Slowing down the print speed reduces the force necessary, resulting in a reduced possibility of kinking the filament.

What speeds are you using? You should probably be under 20mm/s.

I've asked this before, several people said they were in process of ordering it but no one that I can see has yet posted about actually using it on a SD printer.

I tried the 1.75mm, but have no luck at all due to the old kinking between the wheels and the extruder problem.

If someone is using it, I'd like to know your temp, speed, etc. settings. It is sure rubbery, no wonder its tricky to push through the extruder.
