As far as I know Teflon is a good insulator, capable of high temperatures and pressures. If you say teflon wire, you give it the false interpretation of being a conductor., like the guy that said solder was a "poor"" conductor, really?
I did volt drop tests , I have professional crimp sets and solder systems, being based in electrical trades for a living. A topend fluke MM told me that I achieved 0.15v better VD figures across the same cold weld (not "weld"), properly crimped connection for cable size and type. You will not minimise the volt drop to best achievable until soldered. Test @ 20 amps. A wet cloth wrap near the connection helps prevents solder run (capillary action) down the conductor/cable.
