Hey, i’m a greenhorn here, just signed up after lurking for about a week.

I’m really interested in A314 for the workplace and professional use but I will probably be getting IS and either Ammo, IO or IH. I’m still waiting on the GC, so I figured I would ask some questions.

1. There is a thread that discusses (cigarette) smoke as dampening pheromonal effects–acting as a barrier that [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) have to break through, if you will. Can smoke act as a carrier as well? In a similar way to clouds?  
Hypothetical: I have some pheromone applied on my right wrist (same hand I use to hold my cigarette) and as I exhale, I lightly blow across my wrist towards the person I intend to effect. Will this assist in dispersing the pheros? Or will I just end up offending the other person by basically blowing smoke in their face?

2. Using IFM as a pheromonal cockblock. I’m intrigued by the depressing effects of IFM on men. Have people intentionally applied it not for its comforting effects on women, but as a way to lower the energy of other men in the room? Instead of applying something like A314 that DHV, and having to act congruent to the phero effects, can you instead use something like IFM to make everyone around you seem not as interesting?

3. A314 vs. IG. I explained in my introductory thread that I am 22, but I look like I am younger (around 18). A314 was recommended to me (and it is what I am leaning towards too) but I wanted to pitch this in this bigger forum to hear arguments pertinent to my situation.

There are a few, not many threads about this

Im not a smoker, so not sure 🙂

I should try taking an incense punk some time and spraying pheromones on it, and lighting it and seeing what happens. The only problem, it’s a bit of a taboo to walk around like that in public 🙂

In short, yes I believe smoke could disperse pheromones, it certainly disperses odors, however the smoke could also act as a fixative since it contains tars and so forth, which might alter the way it disperses.

Edit: I think WAGG would be an excellent pheromone to try this out with. Or something oil based. Maybe a WAGG + DPG emulsion, something that would tend to stick and cling to the incense.

Depending on the person you could be offending to them, especially if they do not smoke. I have used the “Cough” and blow across an arm to direct my scent toward a woman before. I can see where doing it would help, but not with smoke. your pheromone cloud will tend to follow a smoke cloud though because smoke will travel in the direction and rate of the prevailing breezes.  
How ever smokers typically have lower numbers of receptors in their nose to pick up on pheromones so more pheromones may be needed. \*the tar and other byproducts of smoking help to clog the nerve receptors in the nose that pickup smells.

A314 is a good product, and is good and similar to IG, however I seem to believe it is pushing some women away when in settings wearing some pheromones. I am trying IG for a little experiment.  
I hardly miss a day of wearing A314 to work, it helps me manage and work with team members on projects, and seems to help ideas, but socially it seems to be ghosting me a little bit, causing more distance in settings when I would like to get closer and personal. Just a touch to much Alpha male.
