I personally use a sewing needle and scratch the rib on the seed, then place in warm water with a shot of peroxide in it and let them soak over night. I have had great success with this technique. Seeds seen to pop within 12-24 hrs almost every time.Maybe it's just the strain, but my Durban Poison seeds took what seemed like forever and then they had that weird leaf configuration, that freaked me out.......but you should see those babies now. I think that the old adage "patience is it's own reward" applies here. If the taproot doesn't appear in a few days add a few more seeds to whatever you're using to germinate and keep on truckin'. I've heard of using a small knife (exacto/razor blade) to score the seeds on the seam of the seed to weaken the hull and allow the taproot to push through the seed hull and start to grow
