Does heat affect juice?

Does juice get decomposed or altered somehow by the general heat in the atty in-between vapes?

I vape VG juices with natural flavors. When I drip them in a regular 510 atty, when the atty starts up cold and the juice charge is fresh, my fruity flavors are sugary and zesty. Then as the juice charge diminishes in the atty, the flavors turns decidedly glycerine-ish (sweet buttery sort of taste). If I replenish the atty - which is rather warm by that time - the zesty flavors comes back a little, but not much, and not for very long. They only come back full force if I let the atty cool down completely and drip it afresh.

It's as if the remaining heat in the atty evaporated the lighter fractions of the juice faster (PG in the flavoring, flavoring itself, nicotine perhaps?), leaving the heavier stuff behind (glycerine). This doesn't seem to happen with larger RDAs that don't get as hot, simply because they have a higher thermal inertia and/or cooling surface.

Has anybody noticed that?

I've found a solution that works okay: I've mounted a power transistor radial heat sink onto the base of my Mini A7. It keeps the atty cooler, and therefore preserves the taste a lot longer before I have to let everything cool down for a while. Long enough in fact that I naturally stop vaping before the taste goes flat.
