    Getting these small micro voids and inconsistencies. Does not happen with other filaments. There is no sign of steam.

    It could be 'wet' filament. You can try drying it...

    W/O the steam it is less likely 'wet' and more likely just a bad batch.

    Could also be filament gunk on the hobbed bolt. Check to make sure it's clean.

    Also an oiler if you're not using one.

    But I agree, the bubbles look like moisture.
