Heidi,
So many questions is right, but you\'ve been patient and persistent.
Of the products you mentioned, I have PCC, PI/w, APC/m, and the vanilla oil, but not the Inner Realm.
1. How long should you keep trying?
Before giving up on a combo, I\'ll try tweaking it a few times by first adding more of one component, then the other. If I\'m talking about an actual mixture, where I\'ve physically dumped the stuff together, my initial tweak will involve adding a bit more of whatever product I have the most to spare of, or the less expensive one. Doesn\'t make sense to throw good money after bad, but never actually throw anything away. Label it clearly and store it. You never know when you might get something, a freebie even, that is the perfect fix for that inadequate mix.
Give a combo/mix five tries at least. No more than ten. Not necessarily consecutively. Pheros should never be wasted, but neither should time or opportunity.
2. Re-Apply?
You didn\'t say how much you\'re applying in the first place. Lots of people have posted great hits with phero applications that they had thought were almost totally spent. Rule of thumb is: Less is More. If you want a consistent dispersal throughout the day, apply lightly in the morning, and again, lightly when you really think your mones have all but totally faded away. Remember though, by being constantly exposed to them you become desensitized to their presence.
3. Can you OD?
PI/w is heavy on A-Nol, and some folks get headaches from large doses. A couple/few drops should be a safe dose provided you or your partner are not sensitive to it.
APC- (Guessing. I don\'t have the women\'s version.)
Well, if you buy the .005% concentration figure, and assuming the A-None content\'s the same as the men\'s, you should be able to safely use about 1/2 mL of it. I saw an APC spam site that said that there were 45 applications in a one ounce bottle, so that\'s .66mL per application. That\'s a lot of drops, at least a dozen, maybe more like twenty! Ten drops should do the trick. But that\'s for guys, and since the active ingredient appears to be A-None in both formulae, and you\'re a woman, I might recommend much less. 2 or 3 drops, 5 tops.
PCC- The scent will tell you how much to apply. I don\'t think I\'ve ever heard of a PCC OD. I\'m prejudiced, I love that smell.
SP Vanilla- A few drops should be plenty as a primary phero, a couple of dabs when used as a highlight. The concentration of A-Nol in SPVO isn\'t known, so again, it\'s best to let your nose decide.
4. Mixability.
PI/w might not mix with anything. It\'s base is quite oily, not sure if it\'s glycol, or mineral oil, or what. The one time I tried to mix it was with Rogue Male, and it didn\'t blend well at all physically, but the resulting scent was nice. Use PI/w by itself as a standalone or in combination with separately applied products. Since it has so little scent, ( I can\'t smell it at all, but others say they can ) you can apply it without having to worry about covering it in the literal sense.
PCC is ethanol based and should mix well with other alcohol based products, but the Ethanol probably isn\'t pure enough to cut heavy oil stuff like PI. I\'ve never really mixed with it. Too good a scent to mess with.
_____________________
With its heavy A-Nol, some (?%) copulins, and little or no scent, PI/w should be the foundation of your applications.
PCC can be added to enhance the effects of PI/w by making your application more sexual.
APC and SPVO can be used as highlights applied sparingly to areas where you haven\'t applied other scented products, or right on top of a scented product if you feel that the fragrances are compatible. Same with Inner Realm, I suppose.
_______________
Pi/w can be used alone in situations where no fragrance is appropriate.
PCC can be used alone to send purely sexual signals.
SP Vanilla Oil can be used alone for an Androstenol-only application when you don\'t want or need the Copulins in PI/w.
APC (presumably the women\'s version, though I\'m not sure there\'s much difference between the two) can be used alone when you want to project a dominant alpha (fe?)male signal.
But you\'d probably have to use a shitload to get to any degree of alpha effect, male OR female.
There you go, I gave you more answers than you gave questions. Hope this helps. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
