The mAh rating will help give an estimate on how long the battery will be useful between charges.
100 mAh = 1 hour. 1000 mAh = 10 hours. 2000 mAh = 20 hours. Etc. Etc.
Beginner on Rebuildables. Help?

To make it simple for you.
Look for Panasonic NCR18650PD or Panasonic NCR18650PF cells.
Anything (Coil) above 1 ohm should work exceptionally well (and SAFE) for you.
If you have safety question's about mods and ohms and amps and batteries and what not, watch this video. It clarified everything. It is a bit long but it gave me a very clear understanding as to how to vape safely with lower ohm coils (I like to vape in the .8-1.2 range).

That is not at all correct.
You should include the current draw in your calculation. A 1000 mah battery would only last 10 hrs if your draw was a measly 100 milli amps. Our devices use alot more than that. A 5 amp draw (which is not unusual) on a 1000 mah battery would only last for 12 minutes of continuous use.
So it would be 1000/5000*60, or 12 min.
.3 ohms on a stock Igo-W is just a waste. You won't get any more vapor at .3 ohms vs. 1.2 ohms. You're going to need a lot more air flow to take advantage of the terrific heat that is .3 ohms, and if you're new, you shouldn't be there anyway.
AIRFLOW, BATTERY AMPERAGE, OHMS LAW, RESISTANCE, VG. Start at NON sub-ohms (1.2 - 1.5 Ohms) and learn about what you're doing before you blow your face off. Good luck to you.

The '100 mAh roughly equals an hour' rule of thumb is for vape time, not constant run time. It does assume standard power use of about 8 watts, so the further away from that you go the more inaccurate it becomes.
That's an excellent video Bill's Magic Vapor. Got it bookmarked for future use
. Now, his video on batteries is IMO scary!
Resistance Wire Kanthal A1. Used to make you coil(s).
Available in these most common five gauges for various resistance levels:
AWG 28: Low Resistance (0.44 ohms/inch)
AWG 30: Low Resistance (0.70 ohms/ inch)
AWG 32: Low - Standard Resistance (1.1 ohms/ inch)
AWG 33: Low - Standard - High Resistance (1.39 ohms/inch)
AWG 34: Standard - High Resistance (1.76 ohms/inch)
Here's a more complete chart:
Kanthal A1 Resistance Wire (AWG 28, 30, 32, 33 & 34 - 3 Feet)
The total length of the wire at a specific gauge determines the final resistance. Once you make a few coils, you'll start to get a feel for how many loops at what gauge to provide a specific resistance. Good luck!
Hahaha I like how straight forward you are.. Plain and simple. I'll start building above 1 ohms
Ok, so far I've looked at my battery and the amps and ohms and resistance. So my build is at 3.7v, 9.25amp (from a 10 amp batt), .4 ohms, and 34.225 watts
Is this in the safe zone ? (While I build another build at 1.0ohms or higher lol)
I used a ohm law calc on my iPhone... :3

A freshly charged battery will be 4.2v. Therefore your 0.4 ohm coil is pulling 10.5 amps. You're over the Amp limit.
A fully charge 3.7 volt battery is in fact a 4.2 volt battery.
so 4.2 volt and a 0.4 resistance = 10.5 amps....
There is of course a voltage drop but you are cutting it to close.... Get a better battery.
Since you are not very experienced in coil building, there is a HUGE possibility that your coil will drop in resistance. Your coil could go from 0.4 to 0.2 without you knowing....
If that happends you end up pushing 21 amps through your 10 amps battery.
Do yourself a favor and get a 20 + amp battery.

Stop using this battery immediately!!!!!
:O is it ok if I use it on my tesla mod? Or should I get a better battery for that as well ?
This is an ICR battery! That's a big "no no" in sub ohm vaping. Hell... In vaping period.
IMR is what you want.
If something goes wrong... Your battery goes BOOM... Seriously.

If you absolutely want to use it... Use it in your tesla only.... I have discarted my ICR batteries a long time ago.
