Thanks for the inputs - I guess the smoke is compatible with what I see when fixing old equipment. :-+
My main spool is almost 20 years old and it still does an excellent job - but it does not have the same crust and grime I see on the photographs here.
beanflying:
Stay tuned there is a product due for release really soon ;) This is some of the crusty solder in the last shot as it is the smokiest I have.

Just personal perception, that wasn't meant as a generalisation.
Even though I could imagine that modern solder wires have other fluxes and additives which could in theory give a better soldering experience.

rsjsouza - "I always heard about soldering going "old" after some time and losing its best features."
The solder I bought isn't 'that' old and is standard rosin core Sn/Pb solder that may have some dust on it from storage but isn't corroded at all. I've tried it and see no difference between it and any other solder I have other than a slightly lower melting point. I certainly would use this over lead free solder with all the problems that could bring.
