Fiber Freak : wicking material specially made for vaping

[stephanep]

Apparently, nobody on that side of the Atlantic ocean (yes you) knows this wicking material made by a vaper for vaping.
In Europe, Japanese cotton purchase sharply dropped after it hit the market in november. It's now the standard for wicking.

It doesn't burn like cotton ; it's more heat resistant than cotton ; dry hit are far less harsh ; the wicking properties are better than cotton and rayon (absorption and capillarity) ; It has absolutely no taste even at the first hit ; It last far longer than cotton (2 weeks and even more).

The price can seems huge, but you will last between 4 and 6 months with a pack : I bought my first pack in November and it's still there.

It doesn't react like cotton so you have to put enough of it in your coil in order to touch all the surface of your coil when it's dry.

Here some pics :

Comparaison between FF, rayon and cotton bacon.


Fiber freak after 1 or 2 weeks (I don't count anymore) on a magma 26650 0.4 Ti wire diam 0,3


What's you need to fill a coil on a diam 0.3 mm coil.


FF in the coil. I take care the fiber touch all the surface of the coil. If not, there is a drop in the flavor.

You can get it at zivipf or every vendor in france or Europe.

When you put the fiber in your coil, there must be enough of it in order to feel a resistance. Not enough fiber lead to a flavor drop.

What density are you using? 1 or 2?

Isn't this just rayon in a different guise??

So, it's rayon! Still smart to have packaged it and marketed it to vapers! Thanks for the information!

Yes, the European vape market is not the same as the American market. I believe there are other differences also.

Thank you. Now I know what this stuff is . I also watched the review you posted in post #3 and some more I found online. Very interesting and nice to know about it

 

[stephanep]

it's not rayon. i could not tell the difference in the manufacturing process but i know by experience wicking properties are very improved in ff.

I tried both rayon and ff and i can say i like much more ff.

If it's not rayon (it is), what is it? I know it's different that Graham's Cellucotton, but there are other sources of Rayon. Cotton balls and KGD are both cotton, but perform very differently.

 

[JeremyR]

It is a type of rayon. Lyocell. Tencel in the USA was the first type of rayon we found as a source other than pharmacuitical bottle rayon. We tried it and it wasn't all that in top form. Then we found Sally's/graham ccr was easier and cheaper to get..

Graham cellucotton is not the best rayon. Actually is at the bottom of my list. My order of preference is.. Pharmaceutical rayon, rayon balls, and lastly Sally's. So I'm guessing you are comparing it to Sally's.

Also there are reports of cellucotton/ cotton being mistaken for cellucotton rayon in Europe.

We have so many sources here in the states that unless you need a package that says "vaping" you can get quality rayon at your local corner store for pennies.

 

[stephanep]

Well, the best way to know is to test it

 

[stephanep]

Funny how you judge a product without even test it.
I have tested the rayon from graham and it's not worth the ff It's not even close.
If the entire europe adopted it and not the graham rayon, there is probably a raeson for that.
But if someone from this forum want to test it and post a report i'm ready to send a sample to 3 people.
If these people can feel free to send me a sample of rayon if they want (i already have graham) in order for me to compare.
I have 10 worldwide stamps I will probably never use and i will be happy to make my point.
You can MP if you want some, it's free.

I'm using the density 1.

And there is definitely batteries which suit to vaping and other not. What's matter is the specs of the product.
I guess there is different wicking specs according to the rayon used. These specs are : quantity of liquid absorption, speed of absorption, adsorption (rate of delivery of the liquid), residual taste.

Interesting product.

For those in the US who are interested, Mojo Vapors carries Fiber Freaks... in both densities, for $8 per pack.

They currently have a 15% off discount code - "1VISIT15"

Personally I think we are only dealing with a language barrier here. Maybe even some misconception.

Let's try clear things up

Rayon is a material obtained from celulose through a certain process which varies according to the needs of the buyer.

Tencel, viscose, lyocell, rayon, cellucotton are all rayon fibers. Some are thinner, some are thicker, some are longer, some are shorter, some are compressed, some are "fluffy", some are strait, some are curly.

Obviously, some work better at sucking liquids than others. There are hundreds of different sources of rayon in common products. We are just starting to look for them and finding new ones every day.

O. B tampons for example is one of them

Now in my personal, subjective experience, tidi balls work better in my atty than Sally cellucotton. I actually felt a night and day difference. However, both are in fact rayon fibers.

You say fiberfreaks are superior. Maybe they are, I never tried those (they were out of stock at pink mule last time I ordered stuff) but even if they are so superb, that doesn't change the fact that it's rayon. The fiber may be more adequate to vaping, it might even be fantastic but... It's still rayon.

Finally, you said fiberfreaks doesn't burn. I bet it does, just like any rayon or cotton fiber. Make a video of you putting a dry fiberfreaks wick into a coil an fire the mod until the coil glows red and show us the fiberfreak wick won't burn.

There are many ways to pass a message. Being obnoxious, aggressive and rude doesn't help at all. Even if some people on this thread were considering FF to try out, I'm pretty sure you scared away half of them.

My two euro cents

I will try o.b. just to be able to say i have used female material in my atomizer.
I will post a vid of a burn test (when i mean doesn't burn i compare to cotton).

 

[tchavei]

It should burn to a grayish ash. Cotton stinks because besides cellulose it also has proteins in it.

"If the entire Europe adopted it..." Lmfao I'm sorry, are you kidding? You totally lost me there.

Fiber Freaks » Shops Online – EUROPE
Do you need me to google "fiberfreak europe" ?
Don't lose your time and your bucks with ff. Stay with your graham.
I still have coton bacon, rayon, coton and a few pad of japonese stuff. I will never use them. I can send you all the stuff for 12 buck by post mail.
pm if you want.
