Both elements on until the boiler comes up to temp and then down to one element for the remainder of the run until tails hit and when they do, both elements and no reflux until I get bored with collecting tails.
I run my cooling water from the tap (topping up the swimming pool from the condenser outputs so as to not waste too much water) and it runs just like the instructions say provided I don't try and collect too fast.
How are your RC and PC plumbed?

If you've got cooling issues your lph would increase because more vapor is getting past the warmer rc, if thats not happening I think it’s wash related. When I turn on my tap to fill a bucket or whatever while running my still the out put spikes and a gush of alcohol pours out my parrot so warmer rc means faster output.
What is your total alc volume output from a wash? Are you getting all the alcohol out of your wash? Maybe tails are there already once this problem starts? Do you check your washs gravity to know the expected alcohol content and is that lining up with what your getting out?
