“You need actively react to the passives” (GW2 PvP 2013)
Mortar Elixir Shell
If you read the trait it says Elixirs that are "thrown or consumed".

if i throw elixir s it removes a condition why it should not work with this one? same goes to healing mist and acid bomb on e-gun. it works with HGH trait but not with Alchemical Tinctures. idea is the same you consume elixir to get might and remove condition but it only gives you might. also elixir gun 5 should remove 2 conditions with this trait. 1 base and 2 with the trait itself.

I can’t tell you why it was designed that way, but it is clear they wanted to limit tinctures to utility elixirs and their respective tool belt skills. If you want to be technical/pedantic the other skills you mention are either launched or aerosolized. HGH, on the other hand, isn’t as discriminating as tinctures as it states it applies to all elixirs. (There are still other bugs with those though.)
