What is best for you guys? The regular IS or the IS: extra strength?
IS worked damn well,but iām still going for a double strength next time!
Woah, Nelly!!!
Thereās a double strength IS!!? If there is ā¦ is it possible that someone in charge can post all the products that come in double strength/extra strength, or whateva comes in extra strength? Pleeeeeeeeze.
Hmmm. Not aware myself that IShine came in anything other than āregular.ā But given the positive comments Iāve seen here (and Iāve no personal complaints yet either!) it may be nice to have a boosted version.
However having a āweakerā version has advantages, as I can spray a wider area (multiple sprays) for better diffusion while keeping a lid on the overall ādose.ā
I currently use about 2 sprays as my standard ābaseā IShine application, up to 4 if Iām meeting one of my younger honeys (or one Iād like to be able to refer to as a āhoneyāā¦). I had been combining with a spray or two of IO, but may cut back on IO or drop it completely as an everyday thing as many people I meet when I wear it wonāt shut upā¦ I have a tough time getting a word in myself. Perhaps a few drops of a314 would help in terms of keeping a conversation lively, but at least giving me the āpresenceā to have people listen when I want to say something.
Iām betting you could get anything in double strength, except mayube a314
yes, i check the store and they have double strengthā¦but is it better to get the double one or the regular one? I see theres advantages aand disavantages of it b/c the regular one u can spray alot to other areas and its faster to waste. While the double strength one u can use little and not spray into other areas of your body.
Whats your guys opinion?
It all depends on what you use, if you regularly use at least two sprays of regular dose IS (especially on the same area) then get the double strength because itās more economical, but if you mix it up and are all over the dosage landscape then get the regular because it is more tuneable.
Iāll still spray the same amount though.
Actually the IS double strength is also more suitable for those who find the regular strength not being able to counter enough of the mellowing effects from IFM.
For this purpose,ISx2 would be much more efficient and effective I guess.
The double strengths youāre seeing are by request, and are, to me, still experients.
To me, diffusion is king.
Itās not just chemistry that matters here, but the completely ignored aspect of PHYSICS ā chemical physics.
āIt donāt mean a thing if you aināt got thatā¦ā uhh, molecular diffusion. 
Seriously.
Pheromones donāt do you any good if they just sit there on your skin. You want them leaping off the skin, and dancing in the air around you in a nice cloud, like a good cologne or perfume does with scent.
All good colognes and perfumes create a nice āsillageā (a āvapor trailā), and thatās what you want pheromone products doing, too.
I think single strength of some pheromones would work best. More sprays = more diffusive carrier & diffusion enhancers + more surface area = superior diffusion.
As far as Shine, for the most part, itās pheromone ablend is already highly volatile (i.e., itās comprised of molecules that love to diffuse quickly all on their own).
Therefore, I think a single spray of double strength Instant Shine may work just about as well as a two sprays of single strength.
On the other hand, something slow diffusing like androstenone would probably be best in a lower dose spray.
Hands on experience from a broad number of users will let us know better than theory does, though. It always does! 
As a side comment along these lines. I donāt have anything certain, but I have noticed someting. I have one ātest subjectā Iāve been using over the past year, an older woman (60ās). I see her nearly every day at least once during my caregiving duties. She has very rarely ever commented about any scent Iāve worn, and if I want her opinion about a cologne (or a āspecial cologneā wink wink if you know what I meanā¦) I usually have to stick my arm (where I usually apply a āsampleā) under her nose and ask. The only āspecial cologneā I recall her commenting on recently without prompting was the time I tried some of the Impi 2nd batch (worn by itself).
HOWEVER, I just started experimenting with 1 to 2 sprays of IShine, covered by 1 or 2 sprays of Chikara. Twice now she has noticed the Chikara scent right off the bat. She has never commented on the Chikara scent before without prompting.
Iām starting to think that the āextra diffusiveā properties of the IShine are also boosting the diffusion of the Chikara (which I understand does have -none in it, but I donāt know how much). I may start trying IShine plus some of the other regular colognes, as well as some of the other more -none heavy scented pheromone products to see if they too now get commented on without asking (eg Alter Ego).
Something to consider.
How about a 1/2 strength in a 2X bottle? More sprays = more diffusion?
Erm..thats a contradicting statement..
You mean a 1/2 spray version i guess?
I think youāll use that up in no time!
Not contradictory. Instead of 10 mcg in 10 ml of carrier (1 strength :1X size), itās 10 mcg in 20 ml of carrier (1/2 strength: 2X size) that way, 4 sprays of āwhateverā is equal to 2 sprays of the original. More sprays = more spread out while applying the same amount of ~mones as the original.
Is there any molecules other than TAA and ANol that people (incl. MHarris) have noticed are really fast diffusing or on the next level compared to TAA/Anol?

Yo RBT,
Right on dude. I noticed the same thing with Chikara sprayed last over ISHINE. Itās smell becomes very pronounced and more short-lived ( ie. must be diffusing like a mutha-frakker ( battlestar teminology, sorry! ) ).
NFS
Watch that feldercarb! Or Iāll sic a daggit on you! (I still prefer the original seriesā¦ sorry. Except for that lame-o daggitā¦)
Definitely, the original of the series. Or, as we used to call it āBattlestar Pondarosaā (Because āBen Cartwrightā was the commander.)
nah prefer the new series, ..the girls are way hotter
Iāve never seen the new one but there was an Asian girl in Maxim from that show and she was very hot.
