Gun Chemist: To what alchemical cartridges does Cartridge Savant actually add INT to damage?

Cartridge Savant (Ex)

...When a gun chemist fires an alchemical cartridge that deals a type of damage in place of a firearm’s normal damage (such as a dragon’s breath cartridge), he can increase the damage dealt by an amount equal to his Intelligence modifier.

Now, this seems all grand and well, but does this actually apply to any alchemical cartridge other than the specifically mentioned dragon’s breath cartridge? I can't seem to find any others...


Mage Shots from the Villain Codex. They're more expensive than other cartridges though.

Acid
Cold
Electricity
Fire

Salt Shot might work, since it changes the damage to non-lethal, but that might not be meant to work by the intention of the ability.

There's two that change the amount of damage dealt, Entangling and Flare Cartridges, but unfortunately those won't work.

There might be some new cartridges in the same book as the archetype that aren't on an online resource at the moment.

Those mage shot cartridges are good choices, as LeMoineNoir points out.

The ability's also written to allow for some future compatibility, so upcoming special ammunition should hopefully work with it, too.
