Should be good, how are the strands of fiber I've found the straighter the better. Some cottons are All bound up.
If those are the pads (hard to tell in the photo)... you can cut them into strips wide enough to roll into wick for 1.5-2.5mm ID coils.
If you don't roll them too tight... I've found that the resultant "hollow tube" aspect of rolled cotton make-up pads may actually retain & rapidly transfer juice better than ball cotton.
YMMV ;-)
Just got mine and recoiled a few heads but haven't tried them yet!!! (anxiously waiting for a head to "go bad"!!! lol)
@stylemaster, I know right, haha ... thinking about giving them a try with a new build ~ will post up some picks of the pads/strands afterwards
EDIT: After trying it out, there were some good hits, and some bad ~ I think a cavity of air between the wick and the coil formed... so I rewrapped the wick around the coils, using just one strand around both coils, using the centre post to double back. Much less cotton, and it's tighter. I also positioned the coil almost level, with a little bit of a rise towards the outside (where my air holes will line up). Much better so far 
So far so good! Seems to be the same product my b&m gave me (a few pads of). Did a dragon nano coil something or other, and stuffed a whole lotta cotton in there. 1st time with that much cotton and those coils. Pretty happy, but truthfully, only had a few tastes - pizza time! Haha

It comes out pretty straight, but you can pull it apart pretty well too. Added bonus, gets great reviews for removing makeup
Quick update, I fiddled around with the wick quite a bit, and although the dragon coil set up seemed to produce well. I found I'd get a dry burn too often (when not careful), and in general it needed more tending to keep the setup happy. I switched it up, and now have the nano coils sitting on cotton 'pillows' - and I'm getting some of the best flavour and clouds evah! Evah! Plus it's mindlessly easy to rewick now too

I picked some of this up on the weekend, but am not impressed. Seems much easier to work with vs cotton balls, but it's giving me a bad taste. tried a few different re-wicks, and got it useable, but put in a wick from Swisper's Organic cotton (Walmart), and back to not tasting cotton.
Ive been using Koh Gen Do which is basically the same thing, a cotton pad. It is much easier to work with than cotton balls and Ive been getting great flavor out of them.
