Electrolytic capacitors are rated at a value of +/- 20% at best, sometimes
worse. So, 25uFis a common substitute for the 22uF value. 22 uF is a preferred
value, but many capacitor makers use the closest "logical" value.

C1 (10 uF) is the only electro that really has an appreciable effect on
the circuit's operation - it controls the "soft start" of the heater.
C12 (3.3 uF) also has some effect, but is not as marked at C1.

The 104 means 10 pF x 10000 (four zeros) or 100,000 or 0.1 uF (p=pico, u=micro).
