Hello and welcome to the forum Whitaker2472. Glad to have you here!
If you are new to mech mods and rebuildables I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. You are now 100% in control of your own safety (and others around you). Make sure you purchase an ohm reader and a voltmeter or DMM so you can measure your builds, check for shorts and measure the remaining charge on your batteries.
Baditudes Blogs. The blogs regarding battery safety, Ohm's Law and amp limitation are listed below:
BATTERIES
9. Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?
* Another essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.
17. Purple Efest Batteries Not As Advertised
* A cautionary blog that reveals that the purple Efest batteries may not have the specifications advertised. Also includes a commentary on "continuous discharge ratings" vs "pulse discharge ratings" of battery specs.
OHM'S LAW
14. Ohm's Law for Dummies (Vapers)
* My attempt at explaining Ohm's Law in layman terms and how it relates to vaping.
16. Explain it to the Dumb Noob: Ohm's Law Calculations
* As simple as it is to use, some people have a tough time grasping the concept. Warning: Includes graphic photos of mod explosions.
BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY
Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.
* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics

I have ohm reader and have messed with different wick setups with cotton. Wondering about twisted wire and bigger gage wire.
I'm not the best person to talk about battery safety, but I run 4x 0.20mm kanthal twisted with a 5/4 wrap on a 1.6mm needle, which comes to about 0.20 ohms, but you need a 35 amp battery to run that setup on.
Regarding to battery safety, never ever buy batteries with 'fire' in them or ridiculous amp/mah prints, like '40amp 3500mah'. There is not a single 18650 with 40amp constant discharge limit which clocks in at 3500mah, most 18650 35A batteries tend to stay at 1000-2000mah limits
I have a efest 18650 And a lg I think. It's red. The setup I'm running is at .25 ohms. It's not twisted or anything. That's what I'm wondering if try more wraps or twisted if be better because of more area
