So I'm wondering. One of my juices is significantly thicker than the others. I drip and notice that it takes extra time to soak into the wick. Is there a difference on the effects that it has on the atty depending on how thick/thin the liquid is? I haven't noticed any negative effects on vaping it so I'm unsure. I also noticed that after being in a warm car it thinned out, however, I couldn't tell if it changed anything.

It probably has to do with your PG/VG mix in your liquids. VG is a bit thicker than PG so the more VG in your base mix, the thicker your juice will be. VG also gets VERY thick when it's been cooled and thins out when heated. There really shouldn't be much difference in your vaping experience except VG will have a bit more draw and produce more vapor. PG has more throat hit and holds flavor a little better.

I noticed the heavier draw, and I'm familiar with the differences on TH. I was more concerned if it gunked up the atty more and required cleaning more often.

Yeah, VG will get a little gunkier and you will probably need to clean the atty more frequently. Being thicker to start with, it creates more gunk. However, I'm of the opinion that VG is a little healthier since it is vegitable based.
