Filament Change Using Auto Unload and Load

So when I do a filament change using the auto load and unload for PLA I have a question.  When it does this using Inland filament with a temperature rating on the spool of 190 to 220, I have an interesting event happen.

The machine unloads correctly, but when it reloads I get the purge and charge to produce a string that has the filament extrude and then go right back to its 1.75ish diameter.  Once it starts printing then it evens out to be normal, but I am wondering if this is normal for the filament to do this.

I dont see it happen on my earlier Inland filament, but then I saw that there might have been a raw product change and I am also wondering if others have this event.

 

Im in the middle of a print but I can produce a picture when I am done.

 

Thank you
