Melting of the Ice Queen via VL1

I have a short break while waiting for a new shipment from the Vendor I am testing for. In this break I decided to run VL1.

I have worn it for the last 4 days. I never really timed it though but I have timed it for the last 4 days. VL1 consistently lasts for 7 hours. It ramps up so the strength increases as the day goes on. It ramps up and seems to reach it’s peak in the 5th hour and by the 7th hour it is gone.

VL1 is sooooooooo cool. There is a woman that I know who has not been very friendly to me. In fact she has been rather cold. However since I’ve been wearing VL1 (the last 4 days) she has been smiling, laughing at my jokes and flipping her hair like crazy.

222

Ok. I decided if they would do it at a reasonable price I would probably be in for VL1.

223

I get to wear VL1 again

Wearing VL1 again today.

I really am interested in some of the ethics involved in wearing pheromones. I see that in pheromone use ethics debates online most users will compare wearing pheromones to a woman wearing lipstick/makeup.

While womens makeup does appeal to the visual senses it does not influence brainwave activity the way that pheromones do.

On the other hand men and women have been wearing scents for thousands of years. Women seem to love the Creed line of cologne.

I really need to get back to my experiments. VL1 is just the tip of the iceberg. Now I have another potential putative in the super chatty VL2. VL2 needs more testing but I and others talk so much when I’m wearing it.

No resting on my laurels I have to keep discovering new putatives.

224

Ice Queen melts again

This is getting super silly now. While I am waiting for the Vendor I am testing for to send me new stuff I have been wearing VL1 and some other products (not in combination).

I have not worn VL1 since 11/12. I have worn Bad Wolf, Flirt, MX463 and NPA between 11/12 and today (11/17).

The Ice Queen barely spoke to me on these days but today I am wearing VL1. She just asked me to help her with something. Again, this is after about 4 days of barely saying “Good Morning”.

I was laughing a little to myself as we are performing this task she asked for help with together.

VL1…6 months in and it still surprises me.

225

VL2

I decided to double the strength of VL2 so I dissolved 2.0 of VL2 in PA.

VL2 like VL1 is not a stinky putative. In fact it has a very easily coverable odor.

At double strength I was hoping for more random conversations. VL2 makes me more chatty. Double and single strength seems to garner the same reaction from me…chattiness.

I have not seen that it makes others chattier though. The effects last 2-3 hours.

I could try smaller doses or larger doses but I suspect the results will be the same.

VL2 would probably be good for the user on a first date. For conversation.

Ah well. VL2 works but I’m not fond of it. VL2 is useless to me. I have no need to be a chatterbox.

On the other hand it could be that I am not noticing that the other person is chatty too. More testing needed.

226

P86, vl1

I am feeling much better after my P86 ordeal. I posted the details on the main discussion board but to summarize: P86 at .625 mcg’s made me feel slightly angry. I used P86 for a few days in a row at this dosage. When I stopped using it the slightly angry feeling lasted an extra day.

The Vendor that I’m testing for is sending me another round of stuff to be tested. So far (according to the Vendor) I have given accurate input as to the properties of the mixes sent to me. Cool!

I am back to wearing VL1. I am wearing VL1 today. No need to go on about VL1. I like it. I would wear it everyday. Perhaps I am biased? I am still excited about VL1 because I discovered it. It’s not powerful but it is a cool molecule.

I was thinking about it today and I just don’t think VL1 has reached it’s full potential yet. I have not fully tested its dosage range. I know that it works at it’s current dosage but I have not really given it a run at a wide range of dosages.

227

I am still here. I have come across another possible putative. this one has great potential to be an attractant. I’ve run into a bump though. this particular putative is staining my skin with it’s color.

I’m not a scientist so I don’t really know how to remove the coloration from the substance so that I can test it without it staining me.

I’ve worn it a few times but those who know my testing methodology know that I am a thorough tester. Since this may be my third putative discovery I need to apply the same stringent testing as I did for the first and second putative.

I did do a few tests and so far this new putative looks like an attractant.

I’ve stopped testing it for now until I figure this out. I’m a little stuck on what to do about this staining issue.

228

WHAT HAVE I CREATED?

Probably every serious pheromone user has a phero-bomb that they are making. I tried mine today and so far at 1 spray it’s wow and wow.

I have been pouring remnants of various products into a bottle for about a year. I can only guess at what is in here. Some of the components are:

MX463
Voracious by LP
Alpha Machismo by AD
LIIK V1 by AD
NPA by LeCroy
VL1
P96
Steel cologne
Mambo cologne
Myrrh EO
A1

And I don’t know what else in in here. This is a real everything but the kitchen sink mix.

I was hesitant to wear it because of the number of ingredients (many of which are probably missing from the above list).

I’ve started pherbombs before and ended up pouring them into the sink.

Pherobombs are a real “Hail Mary” mix.

I wore 1 spray of this and it has a good uplifting self effect akin to the A314 effect. One latina woman was really taken with the effects. She was really blushing.

Can’t wait to test this again tomorrow. The only bad thing about this mix is that it can never be duplicated. I have no Idea of what’s really in it and the amounts/ratios. Too bad. I can’t wait to test it at different dosages.

229

Holy smokes! This Phero-brew is great. Ice queen walked past me twice this morning without even saying a Good Morning. I went to the men’s room and put 1 spray on. When I walked in she immediately started talking to me. Her 360 turn amuses me to no end. This is a real nice brew!

I really can not duplicate this pherobomb. It really is a lil of this and a lil of that. It hurts me now knowing that this brew cannot be duplicated.

A true scientist would have measured everything…even in a pherobomb.

A pherobomb is a real “Hail Mary” try. Skin mixing came along and users no longer wasted pheromones by bottle mixing. Skin mixing is so much better and less wasteful than bottle mixing.

But back to this brew. I think I have a total of 40ml left. It’s like gold. I poured about 2ml in a sprayer for testing and so far I’m impressed. It made another woman who never spoke to me carry on a good conversation with me.

One spray is good. Looks like 2 sprays is OD territory. This brew hits hard in the first 2 hours and then peters out slowly. I can reapply once in the afternoon. It looks like I have to wash the app points thoroughly before a third application, I tried a third application yesterday and reactions from targets were negative.

By Ice Queens reaction this morning I would deduce that this pherobomb has no imprint qualities.

All in all quite good.

230

Pherobomb

My Pherobomb is nice to wear. It’s a little beta in nature. Women respond to it though. 1 spray is enough. 2 sprays is OD territory.

P96

I have started some testing on P96 at .625 mcg’s per spray. So far nothing special at 1 and 2 sprays.

231

360 means she did a full rotation and carried on the same direction! :stuck_out_tongue:

This sounds interesting, you may be in to something! Should bottle it up in a few Togo vials and sell a few to let us guys try it out!

:slight_smile:

232

Hello,

Just to take a moment to touch on a serious problem we’re seeing with our MX generally.

**The problem is no reports.
**

To be clear, our policy is that we’d like one feedback in some form on any MX pack ordered by a customer.

We don’t require users order ANY MX. But, if they, choose, we do require feedback.

Testing at least one MX from the pack by itself and writing a paragraph on social effects will do.

*But we’re not meeting even this modest goal.
*

This is our Official MX463 thread:

The OFFICIAL MX463 Discussion Thread

No new reports in almost year. Quite a few combination posts. But these combinations often don’t provide useful data.

Some users who have ordered MX’s but have provided no feedback will receive notices in coming months to please report or risk losing the Reporting discount.

Not to seem impolite. We’re unable to sell these to RU at deep discount without feedback. We’ve no other choice but to take measures to increase feedback, both by accepting new Reporting Users, and, with regret, letting go of some who don’t measure up.

You see where it’s hard to justify stocking some MX when we’ve no reports to official thread since Feb. 2014.

We offer a half-price discount and ask in return only 100-200 words feedback. Not much point in creating pheromone experiments if testers tell us nothing about the experiment.

Again, not to seem impolite, but as a business matter, given the generous discounts offered, it seems a necessary and reasonable request.

233

MX463

I did vaguely mention MX463 in my Journal but I don’t think I ever got around to posting my findings.

I received the MX463-465 mix pack some time ago. I remember starting with MX465 and getting no real effects. I moved on to MX464 and I did get some respect hits but I recall thinking that “something is wrong with this mix”. I then moved on to MX463.

MX463 is so familiar to me. When I was wearing it I would get the same hits as I do when I am wearing A314b spray. While wearing A314 people will: take your opinion seriously, listen to your advice, listen closer to what you say, act on your suggestion/decision. A314 is respect in a bottle.

With MX463 although it felt like A314 there was no imprinting. Also, the fallout was there but not as strong as it is with A314 ver 29.

It’s just a guess but I would say that MX463 is the spray (alcohol based) version of A314 ver 32.

VL1

A few of the members at another pheromone forum have PM’d me there about VL1. Some have even suggested crowdfunding with me becoming a Vendor and selling VL1 on that forum.

I did weigh the option of getting a patent, crowdfunding and putting VL1 out independently. I don’t particularly like mixing and measuring and paperwork. I would rather someone else do all of that. I’m not a Vendor or a scientist. I don’t want to be a vendor right now. I’m not money crazy.

All in all with VL1 I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that differently. I want to maximize the potential of this discovery without losing out on the value of VL1.

A few users on this forum and other forums have offered to test VL1 for me. VL1 works. I have 5 months of documented proof. I am happy to have discovered it. Since I currently have total control I have to weigh my options carefully.

Pherobomb

The pherobomb is just a bunch of pheromones thrown together unmeasured. It cannot be duplicated.

234

That MX463 report was terse and useful. That is just fine feedback on these packs. We’re not on about a novel. About one good para. for the pack is all we need. Those who write reports as that will become Reporting User. We’re looking to add 20 new RU this week. This is so we can make the packs more affordable and get more reports.

235

I should add any user can bring an idea to us for a molecule, be it VL1 or otherwise. We’d prefer a journal article or the like. But we’re will to consider any idea.

We should state however that any new User MX or molecule will have to be formulated, assigned an MX number and be on embargo. It would be elig. for RU pricing. The whole process from idea to 1st-round embargo testing may take one year.

About that we’re not able to be more flexible at this time with current $ resources.

Any MX, be it VL1 or otherwise, may not be promoted or discussed during blind test embargo. It may not be connected to any other commercial phero site or emailed.

If it becomes a release elsewhere, I’m doubtful we could use it. It would then fall under our commercial speech rules.

Typically we’re not able to allow phero vendors to participate here, unless it’s our own user’s MX under our shop.

That said, I know Brian has taken the VL1 concept into consideration. I have no firm word on it at this time, other than to say 6-12 mos. is our typical lead time for such ideas.

236

Tired

Worn out

I’m a little worn out and have not been testing for about a week now. I am currently testing a product put out by another pheromone company.

I wonder what kind of resistance to being tired you build up when wearing pheromones everyday. I know that some people get really tired after wearing Instant shine. I also know that A1 at doses from 7 mcg’s to 40 mcg’s can make you lethargic and negatively affect libido.

I wonder how daily pheromone exposure affects you. Certainly there is increased brain activity.

Johannes Kepler

While Copernicus and Galileo often receive the credit in the popular imagination, it was Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) who discovered and demonstrated that the Earth orbits the Sun.

Kepler’s Discovery

Probably one of the worst things that can happen to a scientist is for someone else to take credit for their discovery.

Discoveries

Of course VL1 and VL2. Testing is stalled on the latest putative in the VL line up.

I have plenty of stuff to test. I’ve just got to get moving on it.

Life is hard for everyone right now.

237

I am a scientist!

I have posted here over and over that I am not a scientist or a vendor but according to a definition here: Scientist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a scientist!

In fact all of us fit the definition: A scientist, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge.

Scientific Methodology (Scientific method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.

Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen), 965?1039 is the Muslim scholar who is considered by some to be the father of modern scientific methodology due to his emphasis on experimental data and reproducibility of its results.

How cool is that?

I am a Scientist and so are you.

238

Well, keeps me wondering: Am I an Behavioral or Experimental psychologist? I do love to test new perfumes and mixes as research in the things that make the mind tick and the love happen XD

239

Interesting…I would say neither. Most pheromone papers are written by doctors (MD). But then again most pheromone papers track the brain triggers and follow the neuro transmissions.

Most papers on chemical interactions within the body caused are done by a MD.

I can see how behavioral science fits in.

On Being a Scientist: A Guide to Responsible Conduct in Research

Just filler. I am testing for another vendor. VL1 & VL2 still have not been discovered. They’re mine and mine alone…

On Being a Scientist: A Guide to Responsible Conduct in Research: Third Edition ( 2009 )

In the 17th century, many scientists kept new findings secret so that others could not claim the results as their own. Prominent figures of the time, including Isaac Newton, often avoided announcing their discoveries for fear that someone else would claim priority.

The solution to the problem of making new discoveries available to others while assuring their authors credit was worked out by Henry Oldenburg, the secretary of the Royal Society of London. He won over scientists by guaranteeing both rapid publication in the society’s Philosophical Transactions and the official support of the society if the author’s priority was questioned. Oldenburg also pioneered the practice of sending submitted manuscripts to experts who could judge their quality. Out of these arrangements emerged both the modern scientific journal and the practice of peer review.

Various publication practices, such as the standard scope of a manuscript and authorship criteria, vary from field to field, and digital technologies are creating new forms of publication. Nevertheless, publication in a peer-reviewed journal remains the most important way of disseminating a complete set of research results. The importance of publication accounts for the fact that the first to publish a view or finding?not the first to discover it?tends to get most of the credit for the discovery.

Once results are published, they can be freely used by other researchers to extend knowledge. But until the results are so widely known and familiar that they have become common knowledge, people who use them are obliged to recognize the discoverer by means of citations. In this way, researchers are rewarded by the recognition of their peers for making results public.
