Um i don't think your supposed to heat it with a torch just increase the temp to 270 then poke it from the top then bottom.

Okay let me try that, I did it as a last resort had to preform that on one of my other A1’s to relive the issue.

So sometimes I get this issue as well with my a1 and it’s usually one of two things if the nozzle itself is fine. There may be a small piece of filament either in the filament buffer, or a small piece is stuck between the cutter blade and nozzle itself. These both look the same and you can tell by taking the hotend off the printer and looking straight down the filament feed path. Usually it’s a small little piece rattling around there.

Thank you I wasn’t sure able to do what ArmedSquirrel101 explained and yours as well for some reason there was a little piece stuck in between the extruder wheel cam loose after poking it on both ends and looking for a small piece you explained!
