Possibly irrelevant, but I would never buy random unnamed batteries from a market. Get decent batteries (Efest, AW, Torchy) from a reputable vendor.

This battery only has 2C rating so it's maximum discharge is only 1.8 amps. That means any coils with resistance less than 2.3 ohms are over stressing the battery and since it's not protected or safe chemistry it's not a good enough battery for vaping. Get yourself some AW or Efest batteries. Better safe than sorry.

Personally I wouldn't use it at all. I would order some better batteries and a quality charger and wait for them to arrive. If it's your only mod use high resistance and make sure not to over discharge the battery. Put it back on charge when it's about 3.2 to 3.3 volts and it will probably be ok. Even a 2.4 ohm coil on this battery is pushing it pretty hard.

It looks like it is a lithium polymer battery so has no in built protection in it's chemisty like ICR and IMR have which makes them somewhat safer. So do not use without an additional protection circuit in a mech mod. As erik514 as said do not over charge it and do not over discharge. Li-Po batteries are dangerous if used without protection circuits.
