Welcome Norean to the mone forum. Yes, much more like a PC than a toaster! 
You can do so much more with these mones by seeing them as tools to get the effect your looking to get. To check out the effects, and IF they work, my suggestion is IO to see others just go blabby around you. OR, IJ will get some heated vibes toward you. This is to confirm that mones will affect you and others around you.
Once you’ve done some testing, then, you can look to the other commercial mones, or even start looking at the experimentals, such as the P’s and MX’s to review what effects they have on you.
I have some good links to understand mones on my sig below. If you haven’t looked through them, I’d suggest you read up.
THIS thread I really like, as to the why AD does mones in precise amounts, layered on your skin. Was an eye opening thread for me and I’d like to make sure you take a look through it.
