I’m new to this subject, so my question is if you have a choice between 1x, 2x and 4x is it best to buy the 4x and use 1/4 as much or does that not give the same results as using a regular amount of 1x? It seems doing that you’d get about twice as much usage for the same money spent, but I don’t know if the results would be different due to concentration variances.
This is for products like TUTH or IS that come in 1x, 2x and/or 4x formulations.
Once you know your sweet spot, buying higher concentrations can work out great and save you money. But, until you have tested and know what your sweet spots are for each phero product, buying higher concentrations can insure instant overdoses or waste.
I.E. If you find your sweet spot for TUTH to be 3 sprays, you could get away with buying the 2X strength and using 1 1/2 sprays. But, if you find 3 sprays of Instant Shine to be your sweet spot and you bought it at 4X strength, then you’re wasting pheros.
The only consumer products that you really need to worry about OD’ing on are TUTH, Ammo, A314, and you need to be a bit careful with Instant Gentleman. The Putatives and Experimental Test Mixes are a whole different story though, and are only available at single strength levels anyway.
I have had better results and ability to be accurate with 1x products, than with the more concentrated ones.
The reason is obviously the diffusion - 2 sprays of a 1x product cover more skin area, diffuses better, than 1 spray of the 2x concentration of same product.
The 2 sprays of a 1x product contain more carriers as well, help ‘carry’ the effect out there.
A simple approach would be to use 1x products when you go out there mixing with many people, while using 2x & 4x when you are in close encounters and distance with a person.
Only show-stopper with that is scented products .. 2 sprays of a 1x of (older) ammo for example is too much scent to deal with or cover - and if you go for all un-scented versions, you lose some of the effect, as the scent does do some part of the work …
