RE: smoke
Hey Ted, I am going to try that lamp oil on my extra this morning, since I have some here from the camping supplies, hehehe and I'll post a pic later.
I can see Angus Now, (Candaian Tire Man) running to store and stocking lamping oil and marking it up for r/c'ers

on the Tiki torch citronella oil I'm not sure of it's content but if you got it from HD they have an MSDS on it you can check that if you can't find it on the bottle.
also if you can't find the lamp oil at HD/Lowes, wally world (Wal-Mart to you northerners) carries it in the section with candles and such, they have it year round here in sweet home Alabama even when Lowes/HD stop carrying it.

RE: smoke
@SkyKnight, as seen in the pic above you get plenty of smoke without the necessity to cut it with anything.
@Wayne22, i can't speak for the others but i don't put my face directly up the tail pipe and inhale so i don't see the transmission fluid being a problem on my lungs from when i used to use it.

RE: smoke
feed rate is heat generation relevant, you pump too much oil into a gasser it cools off the muff and the oil to the point it does not boil and vaporize, then you get one hell of a mess on the fuze because you're just blowing unburnt oil out the pipe and hardly any smoke at all because it's to cool to vaporize. on a turbine you can not cool the jet blast temp (EGT) regardless of how much oil you pump into it but you can pump enough it cools off the droplets of oil before it completely vaporizes on its way aft of the injection point so you can have residue left in the tail pipe. this is why you can add extra injector pipes around the circumference of the jet blast and get denser smoke. also if you squeeze the injector nozzle tip so it fans out the misty spray as wide as practical (depending on your installation) then you can pump more fluid per nozzle.
