Haven't
heard much from people who have tried Chikara gelpacks .. they've been around long enough so that we should be
hearing something, I would think ..
I am aware of the thread that real wiseman posted about a negative
experience, possibly due to bad timing, but other than that, I don't know what kind of experiences people are
having with it.
So, let's hear it from those of you who have tried them!
Come to think of it, I
haven't seen much about the new Chikara either ... would like to know if there are any real good success stories
out there with either New Chikara or the gelpacks ...

I found Chikara works well as a
cover scent for Perception. Plus, Perception seems to make the scent last longer. I only tried the combo yesterday
so I can't say much. However, the included Perception cover scent smells terrible. So far I've tried Chikara and
Burrberry Weekend and both worked well with Perception.

covered by Perception, or Perception covered by Chika? If you kept time, how much time passed before Chika's scent
disappeared?
Thankya! :thumbsup:

I sprayed Chikara first, let it
dry and applied Perception over Chikara (the recommended procedure). I didn't use a stopwatch but I could smell the
Chikara all day at work. Normally it fades after a few hours (unless you put your nose right on the
spot).
Even without Perception, Burrberry Weekend lasts way longer than Chikara.
Why all the Chikara scent problems?
I thought that the issue was fixed in the official release (following the beta batches)?

I don't understand the problem
either. I got my Chikara ( new batch with matt sprayer and cap )
some weeks ago. When I use it I can smellthe scent
even more than 12 hours later.

Gegogi, is that the Chikara
with the Chrome cap, white sprayer, or the newer release?
I had tried the same application as you, but with the
older Chikara (Chrome cap, white sprayer) and it didn't quite work out as expected. Since you have to spray so
much of that Chikara release on to get a sufficent scent, it seems to cause an OD when combined with Perception. At
least that's what a couple of us have experienced. I have not tested it with the new Chikara release though. I'm
thinking that since IT requires less sprays, it will work out better and minimize the danger of OD.

official release? is it the one with the chromed cap? and small sprays? if it's that one, the scent fades away
quite quickly The older 'weak' batch had a Shiny "Chrome" cap with a white spray head and very small
sprays. It does in fact fade quite quickly. The latest release has a Saitn-Silver cap and spray head and is
stronger in -mones and scent. Also the spray delivery is just about right! Much improved by comparison. Check out
this posting for more details.

You might also want to do a search on 'Chikara Scent' for more on the 'weak' batch, the improved batch,
etc.

newer version which does not have the scent 'endurance' problem or the spray issues (very small spurts). The
scent on the newest release is much stronger and it has a better atomizer (sprayer), so you should not have any
problems with yours.:thumbsup:
Others and myself have been experimenting with Perception's ability to extend
the the scent of regular colognes, and more recently the scent and -mones on Chikara due to it's "Extended Relese"
formula, which is what the postings above are about. There are a couple of recent threads that take that into
further detais, but here's one to start with. Check out posting #4 and 21 through 30 on Page1 and 31+ on Page2 of
this thread
http://pherolibrary.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11905
for starters.
Hope this helps. :)

two bottles (one of the old, one of the new) and I'm trying to use up the old. I do have one posting on the new
Chikara from my first try though.. Here it is:

You're right in saying that there aren't many postings on it. Hmm??:blink: Personally, I've been using
perception more than Chikara this past week, but I'll be switching back to Chikara next week for at least a few
days. I like to switch off from time to time.

I've been using Chikara
gelpack for a whole week now, and I'm still waiting for my first HIT using it.
Although the scent is awesome,
it does die on me quite quick, 3 hours max.

I used one of the Chikara packs
I got in my Newbie Kit and I'm going around touting it wherever I can (you'll see this in some of the other
threads, probably). I don't mean to spam, and I'll make this the last time I talk about it for a while, but it
definitely works well. As I've said, my hit was probably because she liked me a bit, but the 'mones definitely
moved things along. To paraphrase Friendly1, it's 9 points demeanor and effort and one point 'mones. Nevertheless,
the 'mones really do help. Oh, she told me when I got home that she still smelled my "cologne" (I passed off the
scent as a new cologne I'd picked up earlier) on her shirt, and couldn't stop smelling it. Bruce, if you read
this, I love you forever, man. Those gel packs are awesome.

so any updates with chikara gel
packs?
any body experiece extra smelly arm pits the day after applying chikara?
i've noticed this but i didnt
want to say this before because i really wanted to make sure that i tried it out more to really conclude that is
chikara causing it.
but now i'm kinda sure. i recall reading a thread about smelly arm pits in the phero
discussion forum but i believe it got dismissed and people didn't think it was the mones. lemme know people.
okay, as for HITS, nothing expectacular for me. the best i've noticed is perhaps more friendliness from
classmates. i pay a lot of attention to the body language of the girls in my classes, and i cant say i've seen the
*interest* signs from any.
now, im not sure if this a 'hit' but one day like a week ago in one of my classes,
i sighed as i exhaled deeply, i didn't think anybody heard me, it was not loud or anything, but the girl sitting
like 3 feet away(desks are in rows), she asked me if "i was okay?". that surprised me, cuz it really wasn't a big
sigh or anything.
what i found surprising about this is that i was reading a few old threads here earlier on
today and i came across a thread about chikara, and it was funny to find that DrSmellTHis and Friendly1 had reported
someting like this happening to them as well.
so is there something about wearing chikara that makes people a
little concerned about you?

I'm finding it to be a
proximity issue - close contact - reaction. This combined with how you carry yourself. the 'mones - in small
amounts seem to give me an edge/boost in inter-personal contact. When I used the chikara gels paks I noticed an
increase in the chattiness factor - nothing more
Carnivo, that is wierd, because
people have spoken of chikara invoking a mother/nurturing nature in women and also asking that "is everything okay?"
question. Maybe something is signaling things are wrong. This might be a good time for Bruce to *finally* tell us
the purpose of the product overall, and the nature of what the 4 new pheromones each signal.
As for smelly
pits, some have experienced this, and I think that is a case of the pheromones raising our hormone levels, and us
producing more pheromones (which can become pretty smelly in the pits).

bjf, excellent.
Here's the
thing: i got AE, SoE gel packs, TE gel packs, NPAm, Perception, and Chikara gel packs of course. But after
experimenting with all of them, i've pretty sure only Chikara causes this. It's the day after wearing Chikara that
does it for me. It's not like i apply Chikara or any other p-mone in my arm pits or anywhere near it.
There's
something about that Chikara.

I usually don't put any
'mones in the pits - I guess I'm worried about overkill or overheating - basically sticking to wrists neck &
chest

Chikara is a unique one that is
for sure - im actually liking perception a bit more than chikara - used in conjuction they are both good - though im
finding 5-6 sprays of perception much more effective than 2 or 3
1 on each of the arms (2)
1 on the
head
1 on either side of the neck (2)
1 on the chest
Spreading it around is gettign a type of feedback
that i got with attraction mixed with some chem set arone - though with it in perception it is much more effective +
the water based absorbtion makes it more effective at least in my case.
Still i would like to see the
standard version and a perception with a 25% increase in the andrgoens. ( premium priced around $49 a bottle)
