I think it really depends on how you use them - if you beat the hell out of your batteries with your regulated you'll definitely see a quicker decline in it's abilities, whereas if you're occasionally pulsing it on a mech it'll last longer.
It depends upon your perspective. Since a mechanical mod uses no regulation methods, it is dependent upon the power straight from the battery. The battery will start out fully charged at 4.2 volts and then gradually decline until it no long can produce vapor around 3.4 volts. Vapor will never be as good as when the battery is first put in the mod, and will be gradually downhill from that point on.
A regulated mod uses a regulating processor chip which keeps the voltage steady from the beginning of the battery until it is depleted. This chip will drain a little more from the battery than a mechanical mod because of this regulation, but the vape quality will remain constant for the entire time the battery is in use. If you choose to use a higher voltage than 3.7 volts with a regulated mod, that higher voltage is naturally going to pull more amps from the battery to do so, so the battery won't last as long as in a mechanical mod whose voltage is at the mercy of the battery's voltage.

Typically the effort the regulated mod has to make to achieve and hold a certain voltage will drain your battery faster.
But when it comes to mechanical mods since you can play with a wider range of resistances it really depends on what you have up top.

Bad's right, but JMarca makes a good point. You can "regulate" power on a mechanical using the resistance of the coil and drain the battery just as quickly. That's why it's always a good idea to have top quality, high drain capable batteries regardless of what device you use them in.
