You don't say the wire material.
Figuring SS316L for a worst case, .14Ω at the specs you gave (except figuring staggered fused clapton because that's what Steam Engine does).
VS Mooch's 30a rating for that battery. For 80w and SS316L you get 24a. You should be safe.
Kanthal .21Ω, Nichrome 80 .16Ω. You should be safe.
The mod's minimum of .05Ω limit would be pushing the battery's rating and over it by Mooch's rating. If you go by Mooch your limit is .09Ω

As the Pulse is a regulated device, the coil resistance is not a factor in the amp draw on the battery.
That's a heavy coil comprised of a lot of metal, it's going to take a LOT of power to heat up, and time to cool down.
As you have an 80W power limit and a single battery to power it you may want to consider a lower mass coil.
This greater efficiency will lead to a better vape and longer battery run times.

26g*2+36g
or better still a plain round wire build using 26G with say 10/12 wraps

iJoy 40A 3000mAh 20700 Bench Test Results...overrated but a good 30A battery

I tend to agree. A proper regulated device is going to say it can't do what you're asking with a weak battery warning.
But there is a thought because of Provari saying it's that way with theirs, that while boosting on drained batteries the resistance/drain does matter. We really don't know how anyone else's works.
Lately I've seen that warning figured up as ohms vs watts, but really it should be ohms vs 3.2v for a worst case (which in this case is still a safe 23amp draw for that battery).

I definitely agree about the mass. Thinking in mass is how to find joy within a certain devices limitations.
I just put a staggered fused 26/34 on my Proton in TC and doubled my wattage limit to 150w to compensate for the added mass, 50w-75w is very slow. The first puff is noticeably slower than the second even at the 150w limit.
I ran single 28ga and 26ga claptons on my IPV Mini IIs with the intention to slow them down to match my puff times to give me mellow hits so I could get joy from wattage. The batteries didn't last long even though I was well under the 70w limit.
