I've used a fair few brands. Tinmory PETG-CF is my go to @270/80 in a Bambu P1S.
What actual issues are you having?
Is your printer enclosed or open?
Have you tried Orca slicer?

Using the AnyCubic slicer as the last time I checked I couldn't really use anything else due to no profiles, that was a while ago though, I might try Orca again and see if it has anything useful filament profile wise.
What sort of speeds are you using, the stock PETG profile I am using as a base has 12mm/s flow rate cap, but might drop that down a bit and see if things improve, temp tower is looking like 245 is where it likes to be, I'll do flow and PA tests later, was just looking for those that had used PETG-CF before and had a bit more of an insight as to what is different between that and normal PETG as that's the profile I'm using as a base..

I believe I generally run this stuff anywhere from 8-11.5mm³/s, but definitely try slowing it down if you're having issues.

I used it to create some sofa legs. The 'red' comes out looking quite similar to wood/mahogany when printed.
I basically stuck with my usual detailed (40mms) PETG settings, and it came out great. Although I was only printing simple geometric shapes.
Temps, I think I used 82/235.
I just fed it through the usual tubes / hotend. I'm sure it wasn't great for them, but I've replaced those all since anyway and got plenty of spares.

I'll go through the normal manual feed, too many plastic gears in the AMS to even risk messing that up.
I've got a temp tower here, will do some more testing when I get home and then see what it prints like, the colours good though, like a matte grey/blue with a little bit of a metallic speckle kinda look to it..
