Here's the solution to never having a warped reed.

BREAK IT IN PROPERLY. And also do not ever wet the bottom of the reed. Only wet the cut part.

Then the reed won't warp period the end.

Do clean the reed after playing to remove debris (I also use an alcohol swab before dipping the reed in water to clean it off).

Ed Palanker's website details reasoning for not wetting the non cut part of the reed, as the reed will not warp as a whole unit.
