Great discussion guys, even though the chemistry is over my head lol.

I wish I could post video on here, I guess I could do a YouTube video.

When I tested with a simple Coleman lantern utilizing the gas generator tube and heated it to 400*F and simply turned the valve open and observed the fuel that came out all the while shooting it with an infra-red gun, it was visually 100% gas invisible until around 252*F, then it looked like smoke then in just a few seconds went to a fine fuel droplet as it cooled.

first pic 275*F invisible gas even used a mirror that was at room temperature to collect the gas to see if it would leave any small droplets on the mirror. I couldn't see any droplets at all.

second pic right around 125*F it goes from gas to small fuel droplets.
