how many batteries do you have ?= only those 2, just be carefull with it and keep an eye on it(you should be anyway). i bet it doesn't get any worse. 4+ batteries = just set those to the side and use the others.
order some battery wraps from fasttech.

It still shouldn't be used like it is. You can see that the nick goes through the wrap.
If you have no other battery to use now, and no wraps on hand, at least cover that nick with some electrical tape before you use the battery again. Rewrap it as soon as you can.

If you don't want to wait a month or two for your Fasttech order and you are in the US you can get battery wraps and battery insulators here- yes more expensive, but faster ship time.

what mod/s are you using ?
You're in New Zealand I think?
Those are supposed to be rewrapped Molicell P26A which if true would make them excellent 18650 batteries. I say "if true" because I found a place in NZ that claims Molicell is supplying them with batteries and the RM2.5 is their P26A. That might be the case, but I don't understand why they would need to be rewrapped. Maybe they're supplying them UNwrapped or something. It would also be risky to publicly claim something like this if it were not true, so it probably is. Unless they are unscrupulous idiots, which is also possible.
Counterfeit batteries are everywhere which is why I'm always skeptical. If you don't know MOOCH , you should
In fact the site I found uses Mooch's testing for the P26A to sell their RM2.5.Mooch always says that if a wrap is not 100% intact, it is unsafe. Like my friends are telling you. Get that covered temporarily and get some wraps. There's enough power in these batteries to seriously injure and maybe even kill you if not handled with some simple respect and guidelines.

He is 18 - would he be able to get into a vape shop since the legal age is federal at 21 and over if he is in the US?
That is why I suggested Liion Wholesale for the wraps.
