Comment on First time with PETG. Is this calibration, wetness or something else?

Do a temp tower. Find one hottest to coolest (260 to 220) and see where the sweet spot is. Going coolest to hottest could cause clogging.
And when in doubt make sure you PETG is dry. Likes to pull in the moisture. Tell-a-tale is popping and hissing.
Others: correct if I’m wrong but black PETG tends to be on the warmer side then other colours?

Yikes! Are you sure you sliced the temp tower for PETG profile? (as others have inquired)

In my experience, moisture will cause excessive stringing in PETG long before it is saturated enough for popping/hissing.
