Cartomizers have always had cotton in them. I think your thinking of the old cartriges. Those used poly fill that was basically aquarium filters that you could get at pet smart. It's made of plastic. It just held the eliquid, it was never used as a wick. There used to be a stainless steel mesh in a bridge in between the poly fill and a silica wick. It was used in the same manner as its used in the GP spheroid. Please don't try to use that stuff as a wick..
Fiber Freaks - a new wicking option?

All pure cellulose fiber is rayon/lyocell. If it was not completely purified it is plant fiber: cotton, bamboo, linen, hemp, ect.
Regardless the fiber freaks website states it is lyocell. Lyocell is rayon made with a more environmentally friendly process.

People just keep falling for the same types of lies over and over, year after year, decade after decade.
Whether its people brain dead enough to pay 100,000% more to drink their own tap water because it got put in a bottle with a picture of a creek to paying a 12,000% premium for welding wire for the same reasons and now guys are here talking about doing the same for yet another "new" wick and yet again because of marketing and packaging.
Its no wonder we have to put warnings on things like coffee to let people know its hot.

^^But look at the wrapper! It's clearly in a special vape branded bag so it must have special vaping qualities!
Know Your Fibers: Cotton vs. Viscose Rayon
So, in other words, all rayon is cellulose, not all cellulose is rayon?

All pure cellulose fiber is some form of rayon. Cotton is more than just cellulose.
It's more to do with how the organic and man made cellulose chains are structured than cellulose purity.
I just stumbled into this thread when trying to find what con fiber freaks are pulling and what it's a repackaging of. So thanks for the thread information
I have to add
This is probably the slowest most complicated version of this kind of wick you can do.
Chimney it. Snip the cotton at he top of the chimney. Fold it under itself. Exact same result takes ten seconds
All this poncing about gently tucking and tapping and weaving in and it. Jaysus get over it. The kayfun 4 will wick a block of wood anyway. If
You're getting dry hits on that its time
To buy coils in.

I've had FF density #2 sheets for over a year now and use it occasionally in my Kayfuns but not in drippers as much. I like it for it's wicking properties and it doesn't give a dry hit like cotton but rather the flavor just diminishes and let's you know you need to drip. Negatives, well it is ridiculously expensive where I live but on average elsewhere costs $5 a pack. Give it a try maybe. Personally I think I'll stick with cotton now that we have TC...much cheaper!
@ Fiber Freaks
How about producing compressed strips on a spool for wicking chimney coils?
I'm using the old density #2 but it is too fluffy to get consistent results wrapping it around a coil.
Something like the roll showed here:
