Chile Pepper Heat: A Question of Timing

I'd like the board to give their expert opinions on these questions.
What makes some pepper's heat hit your taste buds right away, but others sneak up on you at the end of a bite?
The heat from a crawfish boil is cumulative. It just gets hotter and hotter and hotter.
What accounts for the different kinds of flavors? I guess this depends on what are the other flavors in the particular type of chile. But jalapeño tastes different than New Mexico chiles and cayenne is different again.
Thoughts?

Someone I’m sure can explain better than or correct me, but the different capsaicin oils among pepper varieties bind to receptors in your mouth differently.
My experience, jalapenos and chiles hit the front of your mouth quickly. Habs take longer to build up heat. Scorpions and ghosts for sure heat up the tongue but affect the back of the throat more than other peppers

This is correct. Some hit the receptor cells/tissue on the front of the mouth, some the back of the tongue and others the throat. as strange as different receptors impacting heat sounds, Clamp is 100% correct.
