Has anyone been able to do the Atomic Method on a UM2+?

100°C seems a bit warm still. I do atomic pulls on my UM2+ at 80°C. So heat up to whatever temp was used for the filament used, wait till its back down to 80°C and pull. Works great.
Edit: Oh, and while it cools down, keep some pressure on the filament. Just enough to make sure you got the filament in nice and tight.

Update:
I tried my usual settings again but with some different filament and it worked as expected.
So it seems like my problem was the filament and not the printer. That's still worrisome since it was the Ultimaker PLA that shipped with the machine though...
