I just got on and didn't get to read anywhere near all of the posts from this afternoon and evening, but I see that part of the technical discussion is about the role and function of the heating coil, especially since the instructions for the device claim that "you will not feel any heat".
Something to consider is this: When you measure the temperature of any substance, you are actually measuring the speed at which it's molecules are moving or vibrating. For example gold. As it increases in temperature, the atoms which once held firm vibrate more and more until they no longer stick to each other in a solid form but begin to flow as a liquid, and if sufficiently heated even gold will boil and become a gas or vapor.
So my point is: if the filter is cold or room temperature or whatever, the molecules of nicotine are less likely to be released from the filter. You may not feel the heat by the time it has been passed through the filter to free-up the nicotine, but it most definitely will make the nicotine more likely to be released from wherever it was embedded as you drag. I'm pretty sure that this is physics and not JMHO.
