Using a capacitor as a "wattless" dropper on 110 volt equipment?

C dropping never handled any Watt's incidentally, the clue is in
"Wattless dropper".
C droppers pass plenty of watts. They just don't dissipate them.
P = V^2/ R
precisely, so approximately no dissipation, despite it passing plenty of watts to whatever's downstream.

Rubbish!
It passes no Watts.
The only time a capacitor will "pass" Watts is when it heats up.
Current is Amps, not Watts
If a capacitor had anything to do with Watts, you would specify said
value on ordering.
Please point out where you would buy a 10uF 5 Watt capacitor.

Oh dear.
Never mind, dont worry. Apology accepted.
It's a simple mistake to make really, getting units mixed up. Who
hasn't been guilty of confusing Angstroms and pH from time to time.
