That doesn't make sense at all. Do you use a Park Tension Meter? the accompanying chart shows 14g or 2mm spokes are at 121kgf at 24 on their tool. Most rims I have seen spec 110 - 135. You must have heard wrong I don't know if the spoke wrench could even turn a nipple without rounding it right off at 270.
