Wouldn't cold ejuice make your atomizer work harder?

It probably would, but it is not a good idea to put hot nic£ into your PV - or is it?

Maybe. There are two components to making a liquid into a vapor, the heat added to change the temperature to the boiling point, and the heat added to boil at the boiling temperature (latent heat of vaporization). For water the latent heat of vaporization is equal to the heat required for a large change in temperature, so pretty significant changes in starting temperature generally have a smaller effect on heat required to vaporize than intuition would suggest. I don't know if that's true for pg. Either way, you'll use more battery power to vaporize colder pg.
There's also the issue of thermal stress on the coil. For metals, changing temperature very quickly imparts a significant stress on the metal; whether or not this will result in damage to the metal I have no idea, but it stands to reason that colder liquids are more likely to damage the coil than warmer ones when the coil is activated and heats up.
EDIT: Looked it up here: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/fluids-evaporation-latent-heat-d_147.html and here: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/propylene-glycol-d_363.html.
Quick math says you'll use about 6% more energy heating up from 32F rather than 70F

It makes sense. Hey tugger, you got all the most popular and debated PVs. I have the RN4081 and am awaiting on the shipment for the 510. You have 801 and the 808D. Which one do you think is the best?
