Hi and welcome,
From HERE: AWT 40A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...only a 20A battery, damaged at over 30A
"AWT 40A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...only a 20A battery, damaged at over 30A
Bottom Line: In my opinion, this is a confusingly labeled 3000mAh battery with only a 20A continuous discharge rating (CDR). It gets badly damaged from just one discharge at 35A and 40A. Its appearance is close to the HG2's but its performance is just below it. Its pulse performance is average for a 20A cell, up to about 40A without the voltage sagging very low or overheating."
Cheers
I

It isn't a 40a CDR cell, it is a falsely labeled 20a CDR cell.
There are much better choices,
Samsung 30q 3000mah 20a CDR
LgHg2 3000mah 18ish a CDR
Sony vtc6 3000mah 19ish a CDR
or
Sony vtc5A must be ‘A’ 2500mah 25a CDR
Lg HD2 2000mah 25a CDR
LgHD 2C 2100 mah 25a CDR
Always best to only buy batteries from reputable vendors / dealers to avoid getting counterfeit, re wrap, falsely labeled lesser quality cells.

I don't use falsely labeled cells, at all.
They can & frequently do change the cell used under the wrap.
'Safe' to use would depend on the power range you intend to vape, and, if the cell underneath the wrap is equal to those mooch tested, no way to tell.
If you must use it I'd guess you'd be okay if kept under 30w until you get some quality name brand cells to use.
Again, guess, no guarantee.

If it blows up (the battery) it certainly will. I'd agree with getting something safer ASAP. Don't leave the battery in your mod overnight. Don't sleep with it. Don't leave it in your pocket with the battery in it. Carry the battery in a safe carrying case.
IMO, it's not worth damaging a mod over a battery, but if you're going to use it to vape, I'd listen to the experts here about how to handle it until you can get a better battery.

Are you actually asking a question or asking & answering your own question if the answers you receive aren't what you want to hear.
I don't use nor recommend using any 're wrap' falsely labeled cells, at all.
No one can say what exact cell is under the wrap, might be a semi decent 20a CDR, but it might also be a reject 6.8a CDR cell.
Chances are it is somewhere between, but no one can say for sure.
Welcome and glad you joined. I have provided a little more information which might help choosing/evaluating batteries.

I vaping it at 30watts and the ohm reading is 0.44 but the coil I'm not too sure
i would get new batts from trusted vendors like imrbatteries, liionwholesale. stick to the ones mentioned by Topwater elvis. no telling whats under that awt but im guessing you've been vaping on it for a bit now, does the battery get hot/warm? Just be cautious and dont chain vape. your drawing about 12 amps from the awt battery lets hope its a rewrapped 20amp cdr. Heres a link to an amp draw calculator for regulated mods. just leave the efficiency at 90%

What do u mean by chain vape. Well I have being using it for a while now it doesn't get hot just a bit warm and that's about it. So if it stays below 20amp (if the battery is 20amp rewrapped) I should be find right?
