Best Wet Filament in 3D Printing Consumables

I received this filament about a week ago. I have Ender 3 and Ender 3 Pro, they have the same spool holder. The holes on the spools were too small to fit into the Ender's spool holder (caution for all proud Ender owners). I understand why as the coils are very small but I remember buying 0.25kg sometime in the last two years and not having this problem. Anyway what I printed out earlier worked great as a spool holder (handy shown in the picture) so it wasn't a big deal. This has happened to some other reels I've bought (metal based) and I appreciate how small the spool is, but the reels are very tight and have trouble going through the tube and flowing well without guides. I have two guides on my printer, but I couldn't use either of them because the filament feeds from the bottom instead of the top. What disappointed me the most was that the filament was wet during printing. So far I have opened white, black and gold. The white and black filaments were wet as they continued to cause this "crackle" during printing, and the tolerances and finishes were slightly different. This was really disappointing to me as the strands got very wet over time and I don't have the means to dry them properly so I went ahead and bought these. In the end, I only experienced this with a golden wound. I noticed a few creases in it when I first took it out of the box, and the creases I'm talking about aren't the tightly rolled, perfectly round creases I mentioned above. It was more like a 90 degree bend that happened from time to time. After putting it in the printer and going through several layers, the filament started to "wind" as shown in the image I provided, it's too early to tell what's happening there, but I've had this twice already and both times experienced filament tangles, and if not carefully observed and cared for, it will cause the filament to tangle, resulting in under-extrusion, complete destruction of the prints, and possible wear and tear on some parts leads if it lags behind. much too long. The colors are beautiful too and I really like this rustic gold tone. White is a snow-white and transparent type, while black looks very, very dark gray from a distance.
