PLA Prusa Orange - First layer issues

Hello everyone!

I just loaded my first ever spool of Prusament "Prusa Orange PLA" and from the get go I started to experience very poor first layer adhesion. I tried live Z axis adjustment, I tried clean the plate with IPA prior printing... No joy... After few passes the first layer started to bubble, string and tear.

As last resort I now tried to apply the Kores glue-stick on the plate and the first layer printed perfectly and without any issues.

So far, I did not experience such thing with any other PLA prusament I have and tried to print with (5 other spools of different PLA (mostly Prusaments) and 4 spools of PETG) so, although I'm very new to 3D printing myself, if I had to guess, I would say that there is something rotten about the PLA Prusa Orange Prusament...

Kind of feels like that either slicer settings for this Prusament should be adjusted or this particular Prusament should come with a warning that this poor adhesion is a feature that requires use of Kores glue or something like that...

Or maybe I'm just a newbie and I'm doing something terribly wrong.
