It seems to me there is a little misinformation here. I'd like to clear it up if I can.
1) 26000 series batteries have a higher internal resistance than 18000 series. While this may be true, it has little to do with the size and more to do with development of the chemistry. Any given cell has to make a trade-off between energy storage (specific energy) and energy delivery (specific power). It may be that the larger cells have been tuned for capacity rather than power. You'll note that all of the real batteries with higher capacity have a lower current limit.The reverse is also true. Recently the improvements in chemistry have raised both to an extent. Choose a battery system based on specs, not generalisations.
2) you can build an atomizer with a basically good coil setup and it will work on a mech. Unfortunately there is a lot to know about electronics before this becomes possible. Most people learn what works through trial and error, but it's possible to design a coil system if you have some basic tools.
My experience? Kanthal has a high resistance and requires heavy gauge wire to draw enough power, this means more surface area and mass, which makes it inefficient. Two cell series is a simple way to overcome this, but introduces greater complexity when charging. Titanium seems to me to be a good balance for single cell systems; lower resistance per mass is easier for lower voltages.
If you can state in simple terms what you want to achieve I'm sure I can make it happen. Want 70W from your 18650 tube mech? I can help you do that.
