Well, not "everyone." I may be stepping on toes here, but it's 
unavoidable. Sorry. I will try to be gentle.

When I first tried Supersmoke, it kinda, sorta reminded me of Gilbert 
#25 (the "non-toxic" Gilbert fluid.) SORTA, mind you, because I 
hadn't smelled original Gilbert fluid for... oh, 23+ years. When I 
did get my hands on some original stuff, filled an Atlantic smoke 
unit with it, and inhaled the vapor, the memory of "trains of my 
childhood" came roaring back with startling clarity. That's the main 
difference between Supersmoke and Gilbert fluid: Supersmoke sorta 
reminds me of Gilbert, Gilbert #25 transports me to Christmas 1958.

There are other differences. Supersmoke doesn't seem to "wick" as 
well as Gilbert #25 (or as well as MTH fluid, or LGB fluid) and seems 
to clog even fresh wicks after awhile. That's been my experience with 
it, anyway.

Fact is, the only smoke fluid I've tried that is NOT superior to 
Supersmoke is Life-Like fluid.
