Seems like the J-head is melted...you can check the inside of the peek J-head, see melted or not.

No. The J Peek it's perfect. The stain that you see over the nozzle is black PLA. The problem, I think is that the nozzle is completely blind. There's no hole for extrude PLA so the filament needs to get out for anywhere.

After several cleanings and printing tries, I think I'm ready to give up... :cry:

I think you can take a picture of the "blind" hotend and contact the seller to replace it .
