Thanks for the input, yea noticed the size/weight differences.

Was a bit frustrating to go back to order filament, and basically every place and brand I had, it no longer available.
I think I will order some of the SainSmart soon, people seem to like it, and,,, hopfully there still around when I order more. haha

I have never seen any place for samples, not that I have really looked, that would be nice though, a nice little sample pack to test.
For the most part, I have one main issue, the hobbed bolt slipping. happens ALOT to me.
And seems to be fairly random, so I cant pin point one thing to fix it.
I have had better luck after drastically reducing the retractions, I get some stringing here and there cuz of it, but thats better than the print failing.
