Over Buffering A Mix

I posted some of this in my journal. This is my work mix.

2 drops A314 REV 32 and 2 sprays IS 1X.

Now i tried with 30 MCG TAC and 10 MCG TAC.

With 30MCG everyone was really friendly and total DIHL from women. This mix was almost like more appropriate for a club or dating IMO. Now maybe over buffering is not the right term. At 30 MCG TAC it changed the dynamic of the A314 like i have not seen.

With 10MCG TAC i got the more commanding respect vibe i have grown to love with A314. What was nice was it did take out some of the intimidation out and made me more approachable so this was perfect.

I am interested in hearing others stories and experience with buffers and what works. I am really trying to understand how to buffer mixs better and value everyones input.

The buffers i typically use are TAC, P74, P96.

I’d be tempted to think that P74 and P96 are more steering molecules than actual buffers. But I haven’t tried any of them yet, sadly.

As well as steering, P74 is quite an effective None buffer/moderator as well - That’s one of the reasons you don’t normally want too much in a mix, or in combination with the likes of A1 (also a good buffer) as it can easily get to the point where you drive the sexual element so-far back that it becomes pointless.

P96 - it has buffering properties but less-so, and these are offset by its emotional/more complimentary qualities up to fairly high doses.

Personally TAC is one of the last pheros I’d be considering at work - It can get quite silly/goofy, even alongside quite severe status/sexual combos, although it doesn’t detract from/soften them in quite the same way as say alphanol - After work/party time, yes and I routinely bang-on 20-30mcg when I get home with someone and we start to get curled-up in front of the fire! :slight_smile:

Thanks again Mobocaster

I forgot about A1 as I ran out.

Yes I just found out about TAC being a little silly especially at 30MCG with A314. I do find 5 MCG can be useable in a work mix though.

Are there any more buffers worth look at? I just listed the ones I am aware of.

I’ve found that just 7,5 mcg of P96 buffers 3 sprays of MX353 perfectly, without P96 I tend to ghost females and get overt aggression from other males with 3 sprays MX353.
