With a removable nozzle you can still use these methods but obviously the fastest fix is to simply pop on a new nozzle! With the feeder upgrade from the plus upgrade, coupled with my cleaning and lubricating the filament prior to the feeder, I have not had many jams to work with but my strategy is threefold.
If I am in a hurry, just change the nozzle and come back to cleaning it later. If I have time, or if I have come back to a nozzle from a prior jam, I will do a cold pull. If this does not work, or if I want to be lazy, I toss the nozzle aside and come back to it later with my torch:
There is something about heating a nozzle to the point where it glows, and then holding it there for ten or fifteen seconds, that does a fine job of cleaning up a nozzle jam.
