Does anyone know if this is vape related? My gut is telling me they discovered we were using it for wicking so discontinued it. Does anyone know of another good retail source for organic cotton balls?

Are you sure they stopped selling it? My local CVS's still have them, and it's listed online. CVS 100% Cotton Triple Size Organic Cotton Balls - CVS.com
Maybe they were just out? I can't imagine they would care if cotton balls were used.

Lol, maybe they're going to re-label the packages as "vaping Cotton" and triple the price!
To the OP, may I ask from where you got this news?
I thought my local CVS did the same. I asked a clerk and they had it hidden behind the cosmetics counter. I should have asked why but I was preoccupied with getting home and rewicking.
I went to 3 different stores. One employee told me they were told to take them off the shelves but no one knew why. When you try to add them to your cart on cvs.com you get an error message. CVS has also announced they would stop selling tobacco products, maybe this is the same thing. If you think about it, our biggest opposition comes from big pharma, it only makes sense that if a drug store found out they were selling something that disrupted their sales of Nicorette and Chantix, they'd yank it off the shelves. I'm sure there's been a spike in organic cotton ball sales and someone looked into why. Google organic cotton balls and CVS and vaping come up all over the place.
You're able to buy them online now, but I swear I've been trying for 3 days and getting an error message.
A lot of times when a major retailer pull the product from their store shelves it can be for something as small as a slightly miss worded label. let's not get paranoid and think they're out to get vapers because they don't have cotton balls.
Just get some of this....Amazon.com: Cotton Labo ORGANIC Cotton Puff Size M (200pc): Health & Personal Care takes a couple of weeks to get here but it will last forever. To me its so much easier then cotton balls.
Just separate the pads in 2 and snip off what you need. Wonderful!

I would not see why CVS would pull it entirely, they are pulling tobacco related products from their shelves, bet there are people that are allergic to numerous things that use organic cotton balls to apply makeup and a host of other uses. Do not see them trying to move those customers over to a competitor like Walgreens over simple cotton balls pulled off the shelves to keep the heathen vapers away from them >_>
What is interesting about CVS is that they no longer sell tobacco products because they say they are so concerned about their customers' health, yet many of them continue to sell alcohol. It really is laughable.
Why does anyone support CVS? Their prices are highet and coupons only go so far.
I purchased some organic cotton balls from CVS about two weeks ago,and there was no shortage of them. Has this been confirmed? When I ask my knowledgeable friend, Google, the only hits which have the word "discontinued" are forum posts.
Also, since it is indirectly related to vaping, I can't see why they would do such a thing, especially seeing as how crazy people tend to be about everything organic.

LULZ.
I was gonna make jokes about them being after us... but really? Pretty sure CVS isn't out to keep vapers away from fresh wicks...

They are probably just out of stock or repricing it. Why would they get rid of that when plenty of woman use cotton swabs to do their nails ? I will have to check that out next time i go.
Really? LOL. Because no one uses organic cotton balls for anything besides a tasty vape. Maybe they decided organic cotton cost them too much for the shelf space they take up? Maybe there was a shortage of organic cotton and prices were too high this year?Hey wait, google.
Organic cotton faces potential supply shortage
Found it!
I solved the mystery
ETA: Sorry for the snarkiness, I wasn't trying to be rude! Just joking and hugs
Guess I am going back to Walgreens in the morning and buying all their organic cotton.
