I'm glad you at least have an ohmmeter. That's a good start.
Following Ohm's law which is denoted by V = I*R, since a freshly charged sony 18650 should be at or slightly above 4.2V, then 4.2V = I * 0.18A, which makes I = 23.33Amps. Since all the 18650's Sony has made since the VTC3 have a continuous amp draw limit of 30A, your 23A continuous draw demand is well within safe limits.
Next time you build a coil, there's no need to ask around. Just follow Ohm's law, plug in your known values, where V is your voltage, I is your current or number of Amps, and R is your resistance in ohms. If the value of I comes out to under 30, you're pretty safe.
Knowing what mod and atty you're using doesn't really help determine safety, other than that the panzer mod, by design, doesn't vent batteries very well.
I hope you have enough airflow to feed those juice-hungry coils. I have a Tobh v2 built at 0.14, so I know how juice-hungry these cloud-chasing builds get. ;)
If you have any more questions feel free to ask. We're only here to help.

Cheers!
