Had a little time today to do a build for my 22mm Stillare, gonna run this on the Stingray in 18490 mode so I shot for 0.8 ohm range, came out pretty close.
Dual
coils, 28G, 5/6 wrap over a 2.75mm gage pin (0.109") yeilds 0.75 total ohm resistance
On a freshly charged Effest 18490 1100mah battery at 4.2V it pulls 5.6 Amps at 23.52 Watts.
Well within this 18490's continuous amp discharge rate of 8.8 Amp and max discharge of 11 Amp.

-----------------------------
I like the iTeo method for sub-ohm wicking because the wick never collapses after being used for a bit and the fact that it can hold about 15-20 drops each, so I can get numerous pulls before the wick even starts to dry out, even at sub-ohm temperatures.
This style wick goes against conventional cotton wicking's "less is better" methodology, but the density allows for better
juice saturation of the wick, makes better contact with the
coils surface area plus it holds ups well at sub ohm temperatures.
-----------------------------
Here is how I do these style wicks if you would like to try them
Start with unrolling your cotton ball and snipping out 2 sections:
Slightly juice the cotton and let it soak up, I use a gage pin to roll the juice into the cotton and make it flat like rice paper.
Now I just roll up the juiced cotton into a wick:
From here I roll the wick from the center out to make the diameter closely match the inside diameter of my coil.
In the pic the left one is the first roll, the right one is the one that was rolled to match my gage pin I used for my coil.
Now I thread the wick through the coil with a twisting motion kinda like turning a screw, the juice will bleed out of the wick during this process:
I slightly juice the wick again and tuck the ends into the deck:
This is what it looks like when I install the Stillare sleeve and positioned correctly in front of the air hole slit:
So thats my simple Dual coil Sub-Ohm build for the 18490 batteries, holds tons of juice, wicks tremendously well and the wick doesnt collapse after several uses like pulled cotton. Great vapor production and flavor are the reason I like this build
