I got my first order today. To go versions of Ammunition and Turn Up The Heat. Also got a free Instant Shine. Thank you Jacob! Oh, and a german chocolate truffle.

I had a first day trial all planned out, but unfortunately FedEx didn’t deliver until around 4pm. I had the day off so I was going to do 2x of ammo and go shopping and to a coffee shop. That didn’t happen.

Anyway, a bit about me. 39 year old caucasion male. 5’8", 200lbs. Type O- blood.

I’m new to this and have been reading other threads related to ammunition voraciously for the last 4 days. Really Like one of SteveO’s early threads from 2007. Of course I can’t think of the name right now, but it is his early experiences with ammo and shine.

My plan is to start tomorrow morning with 2 sprays of ammo. I know most people advise to start with just 1 spray, but I’m older and I have the to go size. The down side of this plan is that for most of the day I work alone in an enclosed space. I have one female coworker I work with for about 15 minutes first thing. Not expecting anything, but I would like to see if she notices, and comments, on the new smell.

After work I plan on adding one more spray, since it says it lasts 4-6 hours, and I’ll go to Tim Hortons for a coffee rather than home.

I did try one spray of each after I got the package. I must say I liked the smell of all of them. After 2 hours I can still smell the ammunition. I wasn’t taken with the new scent of ammo, but after wearing it awhile it is kinda nice. I wonder if women perceive it differently? I really like the instant shine. Very subtle, at least with just one spray. The TUTH has a great odor, but will sit on the shelf for at least a few weeks since it will be that long before I’m able to get out to a bar on a weekend.

The rest of the week I plan on upping my morning spray of ammo by one until saturday, and making a real effort to go to public places like a coffee shop or happy hour.

Any thoughts, or advice, is welcome!

The spray from a to-go is like .86 of a actual spray from a full bottle, so please take that into consideration when you read about the dosage some members are using.

One thing, you will get used to the size of a togo… the blue bottles are friggin huge… 30ml is a big bottle… I refill my togo’s from my bottle to 1/4 full just to have a just in case ready lol.

Ammo and shine are very nice, Ammo has a scent called Game, somewhat similar in my opinion to “Make moves by Tag” body spray. Tag is in no way a cologne, but it is nice for a foundation to build on when choosing a cologne.

Instant shine uses a scent called Neroli it is a citrus scent, and I am very fond of it.

I am not sure of the scent, I’m sure someone else can chime in.

Welcome BTW,

Thanks DJ.

Been reading a bunch of your posts. Sounds like you’ve really had some success.

So, Day 1.

I accidentally started with 3 sprays on ammo instead of my intended 2. All on the neck. This is the to go size, so it is in effect 2 1/2 sprays from a normal bottle. Still like the smell. Didn’t notice any self effects other than that I was excited to be trying it out.

First thing in the morning, every day, I work with a woman, age 31, for 10 minutes or so. She seemed slightly more talkative than normal, but I wasn’t at work yesterday, so there was a bit more to talk about. Also, I found out at the end of the day that it looks like she is breaking up with her boyfriend, so I’m sure that is a factor as well.

When I got out of work, I went to the coffee place as planned. I reapplied as it had been 7 hours. I figured since I did 3 this morning, I’d do it again. 1 shot to adam’s apple, 1 to each wrist. Got to the coffee place, and there was only one older woman (50’ish) there with who appeared to be her son. One female employee as well. Black girl, around 20. She seemed to have some trouble getting the sugar packets out of the container, but I wouldn’t call that a hit of any kind. The older lady did smile when I sat down at a table, but it was just the normal polite type that you give people in a situation like that.

I stayed at the coffee place for 30 minutes, hoping some female customers would come in, but no luck, then I had a meeting to attend.

4 women at the meeting. All are invloved to one degree with someone. No comments on the smell. That was really all I was hoping for. :frowning: There was a little joking around, but that happens at our meetings most of the time.

While I wasn’t expecting anything, it sure was fun trying! I was looking at more threads today, and part of me really wants to get some of the social ones, like honesty and openess, and more ammo, but I’m sticking with my plan and going slow with just the ammo for now.

Didn’t post yesterday, but here’s what happened.

4 sprays of ammo to go. 2 neck, 2 each wrist right before work.

Female coworker arrives with 6 year old daughter in tow. No school right now for spring break, and the camp she goes to is between where I work and where her mother does. We work for a bank and I run a little off site drive thru by myself. This little girl is something else and we get along really well. Wanted me to smell all the scented markers she had in her backpack, promised to draw me a picture with them, etc.

History of her mom and I. We’ve never dated. When I first met her she was involved with a real scumbag. We started talking a lot, and with my encouragement she got away from him. Previously when she had broken up with him, she’d always get back together within a couple days. After he was gone, we still talked (I say talk, it was really long emails at work and at home). Over the course of time I developed real feelings for her, but thought it was too soon to ask her out. Well, she starts seeing this guy, and I’m crushed. I tell her how I feel (which isn’t like me at all when something like this happens) and things kind of end between us. Still have to work together for 10 minutes a day, but that’s it. No more emails, and just work related talk.

Apparently she and the boyfriend are having problems, because the emails started up again. Effect of the ammo? Most likely not. Just needed someone to talk to.

No other female interactions that day. Just my luck.

I did note something from tuesday night, my first day with ammo. I didn’t sleep one wink that night. I’ve noticed that as a side effect for some other products in this forum, but not ammo. Some of those same products also seem to have the opposite effect on people, making them drowsy.

Thursday.

5 sprays of ammo. 3 neck, 1 each wrist.

I couldn’t take it anymore, and decided to try instant shine as well. I know, newbie mistake in the making. Should stick with the plan.

1 spray to back of neck, then on a whim 1 spray to the back of each hand when I arrived at work.

Coworker arrives with daughter again. Made me a nice picture and even told me where to hang it on the wall :slight_smile: LOL No real interaction with coworker, but we were in a hurry, and her daughter was there.

Later in the morning the emails start up again. How it looks like she and the boyfriend are done, and how she’ll never find anyone that loves her, etc. Here comes a self effect I know was from the instant shine now that I look back on it. I told her flat out, in a work email, exactly how I felt about her and how beautifull I thought she was and what a wonderfull daughter she has. It hit me about an hour later. I’m NEVER like that. Especially at work. She kinda shied away from the subject after that, but I kept plugging away the rest of the day. Could probably get me sued and/or fired, although I didn’t say anything sexual or suggestive. Didn’t ask her out either, but I did make my desires clear. We’ll see if anything develops.

After work, it was my gym day. I go 2 times a week to my old college. Got to love those relatively inexpensive alumni memberships. At this point it’s been 8 hours since I put on the ammo. I can still smell it, but from what people say it only lasts 4-6 hours depending. I’m 39 so I figure it’s probably worn off. Being spring break there aren’t many people there. Of course, my “luck” in full force again. The people there when I get there are all men.

I start my workout. I do the nautilus machines, and by the halfway point I’m really breathing heavy. I really push myself on those machines and don’t do light exercises.

Anyway, a few younger women come in. It is college after all. I’m sitting on the bicep curl machine trying to catch my breath when I notice a mid-20’s girl in the mirror sitting at a machine 2 places to my left. I caught her looking at me in the mirror with three rapid look the look away glances. No stares or anything. Caught her again and the expression on her face was “why the hell do I keep looking at this guy?” I believe I got my first hit!

Workout continues. I’m on my last machine, completely out of breath. I look in the mirror (the whole wall is a mirror) and I see her coming in my direction. Sure enough, I caught her looking again, with that same “wtf?” expression. I made eye contact in the mirror and managed a smile. She looked away, sped up her pace, and got out of there.

As an aside, the amount of ammo I’m using makes me feel like I’m overdoing it cologne-wise. The odor, while pleasant, is quite strong. Yesterday I ordered the heavy version and a bottle of cttm2. I have nothing to lose, and with the little bit of encouragement I got today I’m glad I did.

Friday

In the A.M. my coworker comments on how nice I smell. 5 shots of ammo. 3 neck, 1 to each wrist. First time all week she has said anything about it. This is togo size, so it is actually about 4 regular sprays.

Met a depressed coworker at the bar after work. I figured, what the hell and put on 4 ammo sprays and 2 turn up the heat. All to go size. This was 8 hours after the A.M. application.

Got there a little early, and as it has been for me wherever I go all week, there aren’t any women there except the barmaid and she is pretty busy.

My coworker arrives, along with another one. Both female. They inform me other people are coming too, so we move to a bigger table and start drinking. I’m not really interested in either of them, and both have boyfriends. After the first drink and a shot, the one girl starts talking about sex, and how her boyfriend doesn’t sem interested anymore. The other girl moves her chair over and our legs touch. The 1st girl sort of jokingly suggests we get together for sex and I say only if I can slap her ass and pull her hair LOL. Well, she fires right back that that is how she likes it!!! The other girl is pressed right up against my side and starts fanning me with her hands and saying I should cool down.

The other people arrive, and things calm down, except girl number one puts her hand on my thigh. We’ve worked together for 4 years, and there has never been any kind of interaction like this. More drinks.

One of the people there is the girl I work with in the morning, who I was not expecting to be there. She actually is the only girl in my life I’m interested in, but of course she has issues and baggage. She just got dumped by her boyfriend. Well, who shows up but the guy that she was involved with before the last boyfriend. He’s a real asshole who is mentally abusive and ruined her financially. You know the type that women just seem to love. Doesn’t need the instant jerk spray. Well, they move off together to the other end of the table, and that just destroys my mood. I could tell by the look in her eyes that he just absolutely owns her. It was sickening. I lost all interest in what was going on around me and took off.

Bad evening, but good test results.

Keep it up, man.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens when you throw CTTM into the equation. :slight_smile:

9

They told me after I ordered that CTTM2 was out of stock. They updated the website, and sent me a gift certificate for the $ I paid. I decided to go with Instant Openess. My Heavy Ammo is supposed to arrive today. Good thing since I used the last of my regular strength ammo this morning.

I got this afternoon off, so a different coworker came to relieve me today. One of the first things she said was “Is that your cologne? It smells really good.” 5 sprays of togo ammo.

10

aww wtf CTTM2 is out… dang… it is a nice product, I am going to try ammo @ 3 sprays Instant shine 2 Sprays 2X strength, and 2 sprays CTTM2… see what happens.

Nice reports, keep them coming :wink:

Now I find out when I looked on the bottom of the bottle, that the ammo I got is 1x instead of the heavy that I was ordered and charged for. Haven’t been able to get through to customer service either. :frowning:

12

Emailed customer service when I couldn’t get through by phone. Explained that I really didn’t want to send it back since I have plans involving it this weekend :smiley: Mickaelia got back to me within an hour requesting photos of the invoice and bottle. Beats being without any ammo at all. Maybe I’ll use the difference to buy something else!

Great customer service!

13

I’m meeting a woman I haven’t seen in about a year tomorrow night for coffee. The last time I saw her she picked up on the small amount of regular cologne I was wearing, so we’ll see what happens with the good stuff!

Planning on wearing:

4 sprays of 1x ammo and 2 of 1x instant openess (if it arrives as scheduled)

14

Met for coffee. Lasted about an hour and a half. Minor hits such as sitting close, and she touched my arm a half dozen times. Higged at the end of the night. She’s never seen me as boyfriend material, so overall I’d say it was pretty good results wise.

15

I know the feeling you get when you see the girl you want with a guy who is a complete waste of skin. I know it may seem harsh, but I think the key to being happy is to let her go and live her own life. Of course, you’re a bit older than me so I’m sure you already know this. :slight_smile:

Keep reporting and I’ll keep reading! I recommend you try Instant Honesty or Jerk (NOT at work)

16

Well, there’s a big difference between knowing and doing, even at my age. I do need to get away from her, but instead I keep hanging on.

I did seem to get an IOI from her this morning. She kept twitching her shoulders while were talking.

Tomorrow its 5 shots of ammo in the A.M. and maybe some shine.

17

5 shots of ammo sounds like a lot of scent, did you get the Heavy ammo yet?

18

Well i was running late so i thought i’d put it on once I got to work, but our supervisor was there and already in the building, so I had no chance to apply it.

Just using regular ammo for now.

19

2 hits today, so far.

So I get to work early so I don’t have a repeat of yesterday.

4 sprays of 1x ammo
2 sprays Instant Shine
2 sprays of Instant Openess.

Well, the girl brings her daughter again. Last day of spring break from school, and the day camp she goes to is between my office and the one her mom works at.

Not a lot of interaction with the mom (damn) as the daughter really likes me and wants to monopolize my time. She’s SIX, so nobody get any ideas LOL. She brought me gum, and specifically searched for a red piece for me because she remembered me telling her I liked the color red. If nothing else, having the daughter like me is points in my favor.

On to the real hits.

Around 11am another coworker was coming to work the other drive up lane for a couple hours. She is the one from last friday that got drunk and was telling me she wanted sex. I couldn’t smell the ammo anymore, so I added a couple sprays.

She comes in and we talk a bit. She doesn’t say anything about my smell, so I took a page from DJ, and asked if she’d tell me her opinion of my cologne. She says “Oh my God! I noticed it when I first came in. You smell sooo good!” I said “really? I want you to be honest.” She says “yes, what is it!” I say I don’t know. That I bought it a few years ago from a coworker selling Avon, and that I bought it just to help her out and that there isn’t a label on the bottle. LOL

About an hour later, the black girl from friday brings the other girl lunch, and stays awhile. She gets ready to leave, so I ask her the same thing. She says “Oh my God, you smell so good I just want to have sex with you right now!” She readily admits she’s reallt turned on by a good smelling man. After she got back to work she sent me an email and repeated how much she loved the smell. Too bad I’m not interested, lol.

Going to a group movie night tonight. Plan on refreshing the ammo and adding some more instant shine. Girl from this morning, and her daughter, will be there.

20

Noticed that CTTM2 is back in stock. It was out when I made my last order. Fortunately I have (had) a lot of points, so I turned them in and ordered a bottle.

Movie night has turned into group dinner at girl’s house, then the movie. Also have to relight the pilot on her hot water heater, and hopefully, find out why it is going out. That’s twice this week. Points for “riding to the rescue” might go away if I look incompetant.

I’m nervous like a teenager and it isn’t even a date. This girl really has her hooks into me. I’m lucky she’s not the type that would abuse it.
