Battery peeling off

You need those protective wrappings around the battery so the only contact points on the battery are the positive and negative opposite each other. The positive is isolated, but most of the battery casing is the negative, hence why it's wrapped so only the bottom is open for contact. There is a chance for a short. Don't use it.
You can find 18650 wrappings online. Here's just an example of precut ones. There are some videos showing how to apply them.

thanks for the tips, I'll buy some of those, in the meantime, as the peeled area is not very big I use some tape it to cover it

Any time I get a tear I rewrap it. And let it sit a few hours before using or charging due to heating from the blow dryer.
I never have a problem with the wrapping of batteries ever getting torn or coming off when using my IPV 2 mini .... I have noticed though that battery wraps seem to tear when I use my dual battery mods. Just the act of taking the batteries in and out of the box mod is what is tearing the wrapping. This does not occur with the IPV 2 mini because it has a smooth tube shaped housing that the battery slides into.
I have an AW 18650 with a tiny tear along the top edge. I applied nail polish a few months ago & it seems to work.
I'm no expert, but i don't understand why you would want to tempt fate with something that could potentially explode in your face when you can just easily buy another battery...it's not like they are expensive. Just my 2 cents.
Absolutely NOT.
Most mechs depend on that flimsy wrapper to act as an insulator, which is not what it really is. Is is just a wrapper.
If it is a top fired mech you'd be ok.
If it's a wood or plastic mech like the plastic beast box you'd be ok.
This is Something I have Never Understood about most Mech Mods.
How hard would it have been to include a Thin Insulator Sleeve into the design of a Mech Mod Tube?
plenty --- it might cost them an extra cent or two --- we can't have that so let's just let people blow their faces off instead

Yeah... That Extra 17 Cents per line item to include an Insulator Sleeve is kinda a Deal Breaker.
Since you mention that, there is the option of using the 26650 sized mechs with 18650 batteries using the plastic 18650/26650 sleeve adapters. Get enough of those sleeves and the user can leave them permanently on the batteries if the user has 26650 charger.
Also there are the plastic tube mods with metal on the outside

was thinking about something like this:

this one is steel.

I wouldn't use any mods or chargers which tear battery wraps...
I actually have a Couple of those 18650 => 26650 Sleeves. Many/Most 26650 LED Flashlights come with them.
Leaves one to wonder if maybe that is how 18650 batteries were intended to be used in the first place.
no problem at all.... but it would make the tube 2-4 mm fatter.... and that would make them ugly
no one wants a fat tube wouldnt bother me tho I like my 26650 mechs

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.

BTW - Here is a Really Good graphic showing what can Happen in a Mech Mod if the Battery Wrapper is Damaged.
