Well, I haven't gone below 1.2-1.3 ohms on mine yet (not until I get a mech); but I do use considerably less cotton on my builds and haven't had any issues with burning - even when firing the thing for a good 10-15 seconds. This is with 100% VG as well with the air flow open about as much as it'll go without the screw sticking out. I even experimented a little bit and tried to put an extra strip of cotton sitting along the top of the coil to act as a flavor wick. A week in and there still wasn't any burning/scorching - though performance wasn't really affected, so I no longer use that technique..

About how old is the wicking in your picture there? Looks like it has some scorching from use...but no burning.
