I tried to search for any similar threads but I didn’t see any.. How long do mines take to work? Are they instant or do they take time to start to take effect? ---

> [@nbf6](#): > > _ **I tried to search for any similar threads but I didn’t see any.. How long do mines take to work? Are they instant or do they take time to start to take effect?** _ Hello again, nbf6. 🙂 Learning about [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) and how to use them is a process and takes some time. So, in that respect, no, they’re not “Instant”. Unfortunately, pheromones aren’t magical potions. They can’t do the work for you. It’s more about _you_ learning how to work the pheromones in order to get the best “effect”. 😉 And the best place to start learning about the whole process, for all newbie’s, is by reading the sticky threads at the top of each forum. The answer to many a newbie question is already answered there. Taking the time to read them can be immensely helpful and will give you a better understanding of how all this really works. Here is one of the many excellent sticky threads to get you started. Happy reading! 🆒 [https://pheromonetalk.com/t/what-pheromones-can-do-and-what-they-cant-updated/9558](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/what-pheromones-can-do-and-what-they-cant-updated/9558) Bella ---

> [@nbf6](#): > > _ **Sorry for being such a pain** _ You’re not a pain. 🙂 Questions are expected from newbies. That’s why I recommended you do a little reading. The sticky threads have a lot of great information that’s there to help you help yourself along so you can understand how pheromones actually work. If a friend of mine joined PheroTalk, I’d recommend the very same thing to them. > [@nbf6](#): > > _**I had read that I was looking more in lines of minutes when u actually use the mones..

An alcohol based product will hit harder/faster and burn off more quickly, especially in warmer climates, than an oil based product which will diffuse more slowly and last longer. Yes, on average most alcohol based [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/) are good for 4-6 hours with diminishing effects as time goes on. You can always refresh with a spray or two, during the day or later in the evening, if you feel the need. If you live in a very warm climate and are using alcohol based products you might need to refresh a little more often if you’re perspiring. Bella ---

> [@](#): > > Meaning once I’ve found my sweet spot how long after I spray are they suppose to work.. Hi Nbf6 Do you mean how long before you will see behavioral changes in those exposed ? As Bella mentioned they are not instant, that is just a trade name for the products. People process feelings and emotions at different rates. There are also other factors that come into play that can cause the signal processing to take a little longer then “instant”. For those who dont know you well, general acquaintances and strangers the signal tends to be pretty quick. For the fast processors it can be close to instant and for the slower ones it can be as long as a 1/2 hour. Sometimes they dont process the feeling till you have already passed by. For this reason mones work best if your going to hang around a general area and your interacting with people. Not so great if your rushing down a city street or through the airport type thing. In general though it usually takes 3 to 5 minutes. For those who know you really well and already subconsciously know your signature it can take repeated exposures before they begin to react. This is because they have preconceived notions about you already. For instance with my husband who knows my signature well some mones will work within a few minutes and others will take days before he begins to process them and connect them to me. You really need some patience and practice with them before you see results. Don’t use a product once and give up because you didn’t notice something right off the bat. We are trying to mimic mother nature here and nothing is instant in nature. Its all a process. Tisha ---

I spent the weekend reading up and I also received my TAL, TAH, and EOW - needless to say I’m excited to start and very nervous lol. I had some really great results from IS/B nothing overly forward but from my TG I saw some major differences (from the first of the week when I started until Friday). I’d love to start a journal of my results (if thats okay?) I’ve read thru alot of searches and havent seen an question and/or answer to this so here goes.. in references to EOW and “drops” do you fill the entire dropper and consider that one “dose”? ---

The dose/sweet spot is the number of drops that work, for you, to provoke a reaction. Of course you can start a journal! Please do! 🙂 Bella
