Filament Issue

I just completed the upgrade of my i3Mk3 to a Mk3S with the new filament sensor, and changes to the head including the extruder tension. I did several prints dialing in the Live Z and am pretty happy, then I made an ASA print and afterwards tried to load in some PETG, and found that it wouldn't load. Eventually I heated the nozzle way up, beyond ASA Temps (I set it to 275) and I was able to load the filament in. I did some calibration of PETG on a the textured sheet, then unloaded that PETG to load in another type for the print I was doing, and same thing again, I had to heat it way up before the filament would load in (in this case the previous working filament and the new one was PETG) once it was in the print went fine. 

 

IS this an indication of something wrong with extruder tension?
