Cotton Wicks?

We left analogs to eliminate all the extra chemicals. No need to reintroduce chemicals into vaping. Guess I'll trash these 100% cotton balls (as opposed to synthetic fibers) and look for organic cotton balls.

FYI: To be certified organic, the farm has to grow organically for a minimum of 3 years. There are exceptions for small time backyard farmers but those types probably wouldn't be producing cotton, more-so carrots and lettuce at local farmers markets.

understood. compare that to how long the contaminants are known to be in the ground accessible to the roots and/or heavy weather situations regardless of what crop is grown. 3 years is far from adequate to say those contaminants aren't in future crops.

There may be leftover remnants, but that is no reason to not try for the best we can here. Found studio 35 beauty organic cotton balls - 80 count - at Walgreens. One CVS and one other Walgreens were out of the organic cotton balls. Pkg says "Organic cotton whitened with hydrogen peroxide." And the same brand of studio 35 beauty says "Certified Organic by Quality Certification Services" on this package, and on some wipe pads, they were certified organic by another organization. I found it odd they were different and weren't sporting the USDA Organic seal that consumers are more accustomed to (it is one of the seals at the certification website though: "QCS is a USDA and ISO Guide 65 accredited certification program").

Edit: This pkg of cotton balls was $3.59 + tax
