This one seems to be doing it more than others, but all my cyphostemmas seem to be doing it. Do these guys just weep sap in the heat or something? The weird thing is it doesn't feel like typical sap, they actually almost pop like eggs… But I don't seem to have any pest issues, and they're only on the cyphos. They seem to mostly be along the leaf veins. I've noticed it in the past, but the way they pop like eggs freaks me out a bit. Maybe I just got to them while they were still fresh.

Is it flowering? Mine did the same, and I think it may just be nectar that is dripping
Yep, that’s totally normal for cyphostemma!
Most all plants will do this to a degree. Photosynthesis takes co2 + h2o + energy (light waves) and creates glucose and oxygen. The sap is just glucose basically.
