    Default APC standalone suggestion?

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    Hello

    guys;

    Anyone have an idea as to what the \"recommended dose\" or \"useful dose\" or \"starting dose\"

    (well, whatever.. ya know what I mean) might be for APC Double Strength? (I know it\'s still a weak

    formula..)

    Thanks

    Hey APC

    was the first pheromonal product I ever used, back then it was no double strength.. lol that was when I was 14? I

    would start with 3 dabs on the neck and 2 on each wrist rubbed together (at about 7AM). Then like at lunch time

    (12PM, 5 hours later) I would put on 2 more dabs on my neck and 1 dab on each wrist.

    I used to wonder why so many

    people would stare at me (I did\'nt know what a DIHL was), I don\'t even know if L-S was even born back then (I

    just turned 19, the 15th of feb) . I would get pretty good hits. I have\'nt worn it for a long time, but when I

    put it on, it reminds me of the good o\'l days [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].

    Molasar,

    First of all, from what I\'ve been told the \"Double Strength\" claim on the large (1oz.) bottle of

    APC is mostly BS. The 1/2 oz. bottle doesn\'t claim to be double strength, but both bottles supposedly have the

    SAME concentration. The large bottle is only double the strength of the smaller one if you\'re using entire

    bottles at one time! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
    Anyway, that\'s what I\'ve been

    told.

    Some APC sites claim there are 45 applications per 1 oz. bottle, so that would make one application @.66mL

    which is a pretty hefty amount. If you used the 20 drops/mL \"rule\" that would come to 13.2 drops per

    application!

    The Phero Mix Calculator

    http://pmixcalc.sysframe.net/pms.php
    says that 8 drops will

    give you a regulation dose of .02mg of Androstenone. But I\'m not so sure that APC follows the 20 drop/mL

    guideline that the calculator uses. APC might run more like 30 drops to the milliliter. Which would again put you up

    between 12 and 13 drops for a .02mg A-None application. But YOU may not need a .02mg dose.

    So play around with

    application amounts. Shade it somewhere between 8 and 13 drops and see which end of the spectrum gives you the best

    results. You might get good results with only 5 drops. Who knows? Your mileage may vary. Keep switching it up.

    Sometimes less is more. You gotta play to win!

    yeah, APC is a

    fragrance with some mones in so you´re likely to OD on the scent but not the mones that´s for sure. Scents should

    be applied carefully, a hint of a scent is good, a whole load is bad. Less is better

    Sounds

    ok...

    So the bottom line here is that APC does work (that is, it does contain mones, so you\'re not fooling

    yerself), but the concentration is small so you need more of it than you would another -mone product, like TE; just

    not so much as to OD the scent.

    That about correct?

    That said, would ya say 2 drops is anything near

    useful (besides just the fragrance)?

    Thanks.

    Oh,

    BTW...

    I saw some lab report on various sites saying APC has a 0.005% by weight concentration of -none as

    opposed to something like PI, which has a 0.05% by weight concentration, making APC \"only\" 10x weaker than PI.

    Does that sound about right? Most APC critics base their flames on the \"small text\" on the packaging, but the

    lab report (on a site not actually favoring APC) says different.

    Any opinions?

    LOL!

    [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] That\'s about the size of it.

    Takes me at least 5-6 drops of APC standalone to get any

    decent results. I\'ve used up to 10 w/ no problem...except for scent OD, that is. Then again, I\'m not a big

    fan of the scent anyway, so even a 5-6 drop dose is unpleasant for me.

    I have

    APC, PI, 2 SoE gelpacks, and waiting for TE, AE and Pherone D-17x to arrive (couldn\'t resist the temptation)

    [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

    So far I have only tried APC (two drops only) and went to the

    supermarket. Nothing much, except I got let through the cashier line by 3 ladies shopping together (about 6-7/10)

    and giggling a lot. That\'s about all.

    came, so I did a chargeback.
