For all flexibles you need to back off the extruder idler pressure until it only just grips, and dramatically reduce print speed.  There is a degree of trial and error involved but it *is* possible.  Generally it is wise to save up a bunch of flex parts to print without changing filaments in between so that the fiddly setup only has to be done very occasionally.

Cheerio,
