Hmmm.
I wouldn't know how to make variations work with this setup.
Not saying it's not possible, but I wouldn't know how to do it.
However, in most setups (that I do personally at least), I don't believe that not affecting variations would have so much impact on the sim very much.
If they die, and not yet reached zero, but instead they are on 10-20% on their size, I don't think it would be much of a pop up effects.
Currently, I am doing a sim where smoke particles dies right away (not even reducing size to zero), and there is no artifacts I see.
Anyway, as Tyson suggested, you best bet is to ask Fume devs about that specific question, because Tyflow works well with Phoenix fluid solver, so Tyflow basically provides every information fluid solver needs. It's up to the fluid solver itself to read these information correctly.
Cheers!
