Default Different Weights of Clear Thread?

Sorry to be a pest lately. A few months ago, I used clear thread for the quilting and it worked fine. I don’t remember the brand I used. I ran out and bought some polyester by Coats. Wow! I’m having a terrible time with it! It’s like working with a hair, literally. I can barely feel it between my fingers and can only see it from an advanced yoga position. I’m not having a problem threading the machine with it but filling a bobbin with it is tortuous. It's much thinner than thread; the bobbin holds twice as much clear as regular thread.

Are there different weights? I’m thinking maybe I bought a heavier weight the first time. I don’t see anything on the spool that indicate there’s a weight to it.
