Lucienne usually always passes ” plate test”
Today's Vector = clean plate, maybe 25% of the time now.
They are now adding lubricant oils for the Vector torches they more market.
Last couple of times I've used vector, lots of white greasy residue along the parameter of the oil, I THOUGHT it was clear oil. It is not.
IMO
Vector is no longer acceptable as a solvent.
Go with Lucienne, Colibri, or Newport.
And more refining does not necessarily mean it's better, as a matter of fact, in some manufacturers case, it's worse...
Because the filtration system used is never cleaned, the filters retain impurities, hence passing them forward, rather than being filtered away.
