40 amp? I would be very skeptical.
I have looked all over his batteries list and had never found that brand that's the only reason i posted this to see if anyone had heard of this brand or used them i'm not about to rune my RX200 for some cheap re-wrapped c bin garbage and want to know anything useful about them before my friend runes his snowwolf so he can get them out of his store before anyone else buys them.
Never seen those before but they're clones of the MXJO battery that has that same half yellow, half clear wrap. And the MXJO are just worse performing versions of the LG HG2.
There are no batteries available to vapers with a rating above 30A so that 40A number is...how to say this nicely...exaggerated.
I have no idea what their actual rating might be.

Would you advise against using them in any mod or are they relatively safe to use

I have no idea how they perform so I'm forced to say it's best to not to use them. There are so many other great performing, reliable batteries available. For your RX200 you can't beat the HG2's you have now. If you wanted to mix things up a bit you could get a set of Samsung 30Q's and see how they compare.
Okay I am looking to get a but more life out of my RX200 then I get out of my brownies since I push a lot of wattage unless I'm using my Triton. But I will let my friends know just at least so they will be informed in case they kill a snow wolf and a hex ohm.

There's no way those batteries are better than the LG hg2, on any level.

If I could find a way to get one or a set would it be something that you would be interested in testing just to add another bad knock off to the do not buy list

Thank you for the offer! If there was a lot of demand I'd be happy to add them to the queue. It would be about six weeks before I could get to them though.
Well since the manager of my b&m is also a good friend I'm covered if they go weird so I'm biteing the bullet and going to try 3 of them and will pass off how there working as for charge life and performance I have heard that rip trippers uses them so we will see they don't look bad very clean and smooth wrap I do not for a minute believe in the 40amp but maybe it's close to a 25 30 amp and around 3000mah but I would never be doing this without the backing of my friend also there never going to see more then 150 watts so here is hoping. After all everything you can learn is not always easy or without some risk

Looking forward to hearing how they do!
Just a side note...there's no 3000mAh (or higher) battery on the market with a rating greater than 20A so that will be the highest they'll be rated for.

I do understand i spent a lot of time reading though the test list but never seen this brand listed that's why i made the post but maybe there really is nothing to be scared of maybe there is someone that has bought a bin and just put there wrap on them i know with china its a long shot but it could happen there website said they use nothing but name brand sony lg samsung sanyo and yes i know there is only really 3 that make them all so maybe just maybe they really are the A bin OEM with a different name on them but i will post after i have used them for a bit and see if they match up to my brownies or if they are trash.
Good luck. I myself wouldn't think they're at the top quality. If I was Sony, for example, I would want MY batteries to be the best, so I would keep those and sell the ones slightly worse off. Good luck, proceed with caution and let us know how it goes.
True but if you was Sony and some company said I'll pay you double per battery just to let me put my name on it would you? Money is money but I hoping for a bit of reward for the risk I'm putting in mostly because I'm looking for something that will last longer than my brownies and isn't so plane looking

A small vape company can in no way compete with power tool and electric car manufacturers.

Why do people always do this? ask about suspect batteries and when advised against them say, "Well Im gonna try them anyway. they may be 25 amp batts." yea they may also be like the efest 35 amps that Mooch proved to be 10 amp. Im glad your friends with the shop owner so your covered. But how covered will you be if they are 10 amp batts and you have one violently vent in your face?
People amaze me.

No one here is going to agree with spinning a cylinder of a gun, randomly slapping it in, putting the barrel to your mouth and pulling the trigger. I wouldn't care how those batteries were performing, I have no idea what they are and in no way would I put my face and life at risk to try them. And if I was Sony, I'd have so much money that any offers wouldn't match the amount of money I make, so no. They wouldn't be able to match my earnings and buy my good batteries at double the price. They're gonna buy the cheap ones and double the price and sell them. The trick is spend less, charge more.
Right?
If they're lying about one element of the specs (which they clearly are,) that calls into question every other spec. I wouldn't trust these batteries for a second.
