If you are talking about size, they have 5 mL which is measured by a machine that is so precise it is similarly used in hospitals and research labs to doll out liquids. Where as for both 30 mL and 5 ml and the 10 mL A314 bottles will not be filled to the top but contain their corresponding unit of measurements precisely dispensed. Many to go bottles will give approximately 40 sprays. If a person were to use 3 sprays a day, 5 days a week you would effectively get almost 3 weeks of use. A 30 mL bottle has about 200 sprays: Again at 3 sprays a day, 5 days a week you would get about 13 weeks of usage The 10 mL A314 is oil based and comes with a dropper top with approximately 200 drops. At 2 drops a day, 5 days a week this would give you about 20 weeks of usage. Average lifespan of any and all pheromones has a shelf life of three years. Extremes of heat and/or cold can damage the mones. Direct sunlight is also mentioned as a potential for damage. Many members including myself have left pheromone bottles in the center console of our cars for extended periods without noticeable damage or decreased effectiveness. While it is not recommended it is plausible that at some time it will happen. I live in Memphis TN where the inside heat of my car has reached well over 200 degrees on a hot summer day. Again not recommended but I’ve never noticed any difference in effectiveness. I like to carry to go bottles of products for easy application in the car before I enter a venue if my drive takes a while to get me there. Please keep in mind that pheromones are natural “odors” and can infuse themselves into materials, such as car rugs, upholstery. As such I usually tend to keep the nozzle close to my skin so as to not mist the entire car, thus creating a smelly car. Most alcohol based [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/) have a life of about 2-6 hours depending on the product. Heavier molecules like androsteNONE (-NONE) can last 12 hours or longer. Products like Ishine is usually on the low end and for me lasts about 2-4 hours. Oil based A314 lasts about 6-8 with the very best exposure at around 4-5 hours. All pheromone products depend on environmental variables such as heat or chill of the venue. Pheromones diffuse quicker in hot environments so if its warm and humid, much like Memphis, TN, their effectiveness can be greatly diminished much quicker. In a cooler climate they will last longer. Hope this helps 🙂 ---

> [@exact](#): > > one more question,do you need to test your sweet spot for everything > say like for example, the sweet spot for ammo s different from all the socials? Sure one can get away without SST (Sweet Spot Testing), but I highly believe people should do it anyways to order to benefit from the many ways of SST (sweet spot testing): 1. Economical reasons If you sprayed all willy-nilly or assigned yourself to 4 sprays of a particular product, then you might not realize that you could have achieved similar results at a lower concentrations. [Pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) can get expensive when you start to get into the advanced stuff (and especially if you use high quantities each day). 2. Effectiveness of Product With socials you can’t really go wrong with them, but when it comes to stuff like Ammo and A314, the user has to take caution in consideration for the people who can sniff the pheromones. One spray of IJ might intrigue the young crowd, but 3 sprays of IJ could possibly to get Grandma Betty, a delicious ex-pornstar of the 50’s, who happened to live next door, come busting through your door screaming, “HERE’S JOHNNY!” 3. User Smartness Sometimes, people want specific results. Although reason 3 has some similarities with reason 2, reason 3 is mostly for YOUR goals in mind. For example you may want to show that you are a sophisticated man. A drop of A314 can do that, but three or four drops could show the wrong message. By doing SST, the user is also getting to know what kind of hits he or she receives with a certain product. ---

so you have to test your ss for every product? And where can i test my ss anywhere right? ---

it’s highly recommended that you do since no two products are the same. testing for location can be different though, but it’s generally the same as long as you apply it on the same place. Front of neck, back of neck, wrists, hands, and hair are some places of interest. However if you spray the chest and if it is 32 degrees outside which forces you to bundle up, it could have an effect on diffusion.
