Would using a 18650 make the output lower? Because obviously we're talking 6 volts vs 3.7. So would it effect output or would the regulator control that. I am specifically talking about the EagleTac T20C2.

Longer answer is it depends on the driver. Buck, boost, both, regulated, direct drive and so forth. There's more power in the 18650 that can be delivered at higher current. Input voltage isn't everything.
