Hi, my name is Isalet from Brooklyn New York & I have been away from the vaping community for about 2 years, & a lot has changed since then. I used to be into mech mod because I found them much easier back then. Therefore, I would like to make a few questions regarding my new T-Priv kit; correct me if I am wrong the T-Priv is a dual 18650 series regulated mech mod which ultimately means that the battery V is a total of 8.2V while the Amp remains the same at 20A (Samsung 25r CDR 20A) how do I appropiately calculate my amp draw with a 0.9 coil? Do I use the Voltage 8.2/0.9 or instead use my wattage setting that I will be using?

Howdy and welcome. 
If you’ve got an iPhone th app “coil builder” will do it. Tap the options box in the top left corner then select “ohms law” and input your values

I think with a VW mod it's easier to just adjust the wattage to get a vape that satisfies you but you can calculate it via the method that you are used to, if it's easier for you.

Hi and welcome, especially another NYer.
On a regulated mod the coil resistance is essentially irrelevant. What dictates the amp draw on the battery is the wattage you set, and the remaining voltage in the battery. The amp draw will increase as the battery discharges.
If using a high wattage regulated mod, use a 20 - 30 amp CDR IMR battery, which ever your mod's manufacturer recommends. The processor's amp limit determines the amp requirement in this application, not the atomizer resistance like in a mechanical mod.
Calculating battery current draw for a regulated mod
In the interests of keeping things simple:
If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or the LG HG2 then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, your good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.
If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts assuming the mod cuts off when the batteries reach 3.4 volts.

Ok so correct me if I am wrong if I decide to lets say get two new Sony 18650VTC5A I would be good at a max wattage of 150?
