Ok so the 14 guage wires are stacking up in my attic jbox, I am in solution trouble. I will have 9 total 14-2 to tie together. Wire nut 9 wires together is very ghetto and questionable I agree. Its a larger jbox the 4x4x2.5" So whats the best to go about this? Jump/pigtail a wire to another jbox and move some of my wires to the new jbox? I read online never go past 6 wires in one wire nut but seems like 9 in my case or even 10 - 14-2 wires in one big blue wire nut is better then multiple jboxes or connections. Maximum amount of wires in a wire nut really is confusing when you are a solo DIYer in relation to NEC. Do we rely on the numbers on some UL rated nut or from real world sparkys? Tempted to pigtail the wires using the quick splices in the same jbox so I dont go over the "6" and wont be cramming the jbox with large wire nuts. I would rally rather tie my 9 14-2 wire connections to one wire nut. If there is ever a problem you know where it may arise, but I get the controversy on stuffing a lot of wires in one nut.
