Anyone tried using conductive ABS?

I recently bought a spool from Zen Tool Works, but have gotten nothing but nozzle jams. Granted, this is my first foray into ABS on my Printrbot Jr., but I had the temps set to 230 C and everything.

... maybe 230 degC isn't the correct temp - try to rise it ... some ABS needs up to 250 degC ... other hotends don't report the correct tempreature ...

I contacted Zen Tool Works and they suggested starting at 190C and working my way up by 5C until I can manually push filament through. I'll might that this weekend, but I've got other stuff I want to get printed with PLA for now.
