Hi Mike, and welcome to ECF.
I see that the Halo Twister goes to 30 W and has a bottom limit of 0.2 ohms, so you're really on the edge of what's workable there. You might have better results in general with another mod.
But on to your problem. Since this happens in the morning, what do you do with your setup overnight? Is the tank empty, or lying on its side? Is the juice covering the wicking holes? Do you ever get dry hits at any other time?
If it's empty or the wicking holes are uncovered overnight, then you just need to give it some time for the juice to saturate the wick before you fire it up. If that's not it, let me know what you're doing overnight and we'll see if someone here can spot the issue.
Good luck!
