Hello, I just received my battery for my Akuma mod and I was just wondering what was the typical begginer ohm build for this battery, I honestly don't care for sub-ohm so I don't plan to go below like .8 oHms. Thanks for the help guys!
Standard (safe) Ohm Build For AW IMR 18650 V20 2200mAh *QUESTION*

0.8 ohms at a full 4.2 volts calculates out to just over 5 amps, so if that's as low as you're going to go then you'll be fine with that battery with plenty of headroom to spare 
Are you totally new to rebuilding? What have you been vaping with so far? This info can help us to help you with recommendations of where you might want to shoot for resistance-wise for your first attempt, then of course you can adjust as needed from there

Thank you very much for being so helpful haha, this will be my first build. I currently am using a 20w iStick with a Genitank.
Also I ordered a Plume Veil syled RDA from fasttech and it is supposed to come with two pre wicked coils and I plan to use them at 1.1 ohm or higher (for my iStick), is there anyway I could add wraps to the coil (if the coils are pre wrapped under 1 ohm) with the leads that haven't been clipped? Sorry if that's confusion but there's a picture of the coiled wick on fasttech and there is a lot of extra wire, could I add more wraps to increase the ohms or is that foolish?
The AW IMR 18650 2200 mah batteries have a continuous discharge rate (CDR) of 20 amps. The Akuma appears to be a mechanical mod. Based on that...
0.21 ohm build would draw 20 amps and produce 84 watts of power. (Not recommended, zero safety margin.)
0.30 ohm build would draw 14 amps and produce 58.8 watts of power. (Need very accurate ohm meter.)
0.40 ohm build would draw 10.5 amps and produce 44.1 watts of power. (Need accurate ohm meter, generally safe.)
0.80 ohm build would draw 5.25 amps and produce 22.05 watts of power. (Need accurate ohm meter, very safe.)
Links in my signature explain much more, suggested reading.

If the "pre-wicked coils" you refer to are what I think they are, then yes you could add a couple of wraps (or remove a couple) as needed to reach your target resistance.
Using a variable power device like your iStick while learning to build coils is not a bad idea, as if you overshoot your target resistance you can just up the power a bit to compensate, as well as the built-in short circuit protection that is on most regulated devices (note that you should ALWAYS measure your coils before attaching to your device, while protections are built in you should still check to see that you have a good coil before attempting to use it). Then as you get more familiar with the process you'll be more accurate when you start building coils for use on the mechanical device
