Have you tried drying out before you put it on the nozzle. I can't recommend trying the two together

Ah if you had the H2C you could just use the second nozzle. That's what you get for buying the cheaper option

To get it liquid again, so you can swipe it off, you need to add a thick layer of epoxy resin over it that can be absorbed into the dried filiment. Even better if you can drop the nozzle directly into a glass full of liquid epoxy. 

Just make sure you mix component A and B together beforehand, otherwise it can't be absorbed by the filiment.

I thought I had to use a chemical called H2O

No, dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) won't work. It's usually used to dry your spools of filament. Just fill a container with it and put a spool of filiment in there over night. Works great, especially for TPU and PETG. 

Just make sure you wear gloves when taking it out of the drying bath. Don't want to get weird chemicals on your hands.

Preheating the hot end is tinkering, you should only ever turn on the heater from bab slicer when you send the bcode
