Is it possible to lower/increase atty temperatures?

Just curious, is it possible to alter the temperature the atomizer produces? (Maybe changing the battery voltage or current?) From my understanding, the atty is just a simple resistor coil meant to produce heat. If so, an e-cig could be used for things other than nicotine that would normally be destroyed by nicotine's vapor temperature.
(If it comes to mind, you're probably right about what I'm thinking, but that's not the topic of this thread, please don't bring it up.)

atty's are only for vaporizing nicotine juice, but some people add tinctures to their juices also. a majority the e-cig mods on this forum are higher voltages up to 6v, they dont go any higher because the atty's wont last for long with much higher voltages.

not bringing it up. but 2 things came to mind. herbs and tinctures and the other is not a good idea

You would be correct. However, I was more concerned with a lower temperature which would probably require a lower voltage. With that, the lower current through the atomizer might actually help out its lifespan.

Then again, part of me wouldn't want to go there as it would attract unnecessary negative attention to vapers. If anything it'll be a personal project in the future.

Hook up a variable voltage power source to your atty, and you can experiment with everything from starting a house fire, to warming your hands

If you want to fine tune temp for whatever purpose, get one of those infrared thermometers shoot it down to the atty, and fine tune your voltage for the heat you want.

I was interested in an IR thermometer too. Found this at Microcenter:

Micro Center - Micro Temp Infrared Thermometer

I don't know how hot 510 attys get off 3.7 V, but PG boils at 190 C, VG at 290 C, which is around 540 F. Mixtures will boil at lower temps, but I was interested in a thermometer that would for sure measure in that range.

Only problem with Variable Voltage/current sources... form factor. There's gotta be a way to find out the resistance in the atomizers and their temperature from the voltage source (battery). If I knew that, I would definitely be able to put this together. One obstacle: connecting the V source to the atty.
