You've scrubbed, soaked in citric and given it vinegar and sacrificial runs. If the foreshots, heads, hearts and tails of your sacrificial run don't budge any remaining residue inside your still, subsequent runs won't remove it either. Also, most substances aren't coloured, so the cuts jars that are colourless could very well have something nasty in them. Other's cleaning runs that don't have that colour aren't an indication of the success or failure of your cleaning run. If that colour appears in your next run, then you'll have a serious issue.
My guess is that the colour is from polymeric compounds formed in the flame of your torch, basically precursors to soot. They'd be formed due to incomplete combustion, reactions between the complex chemicals within the flame and the flux or by impurities in the gas.
Got a name for your still?
