Thanks, sometimes, it’s hard not to just go crazy with it and just spray myself til I’m dripping with mones! 
I have other mones but now, I’m getting close to where I want to be with the self effects of IS and just need to tweak how much I need for the sweet spot on effects on others.
I WILL be trying out IG next as it is different in it’s effects than IS. So, I’ll see how that goes…
Great! I’ll keep an eye out for your feedback on IG. this one in particular has interested me more than instant shine.
Thanks riffinracin!!!
I’m trying to get to the point where I have all the points of the journal standardized so that when I try out any other mones, I can compare them to each other.
Yup, I hope ‘newbies’ can get an understanding of the subtleties or mones and what you can gain from using them correctly, with your ‘sweet spot’ in mind!
What I have left is:
Day 8: 3xIS
Day 9: Dry Day
Day 10: 4xIS
Day 11: 4xIS
Day 12: 6xIS
Day 13: 1xIG start…
I know exactly what you mean. I cant wait till my order comes in so I can run my own field tests. I’ve just been burning up the forums researching to help curb my impatience. In fact, I just made a huge guide that explains most of all I’ve learned(or at least what I have a firm enough grasp of to explain). You can find that here. I know you’ve done quite a bit of research yourself, but if you get one single thing out of it, then I’ve accomplished something.
I’m looking forward to reading the continuation of your tests! 
ruffinracin, that post looks good!!! I thanked you on it and recommended an award for ya!! Those are questions that we all have and its great that you took the time to put it together in a post for easy access!!!
I’m thinking of adding it to my sig!
What did you end up ordering?
Instant Shine Testing Day 8:
3x IS
App Points:
Throat and back of neck, inside crook of elbow rubbed bottom of wrists on application points
Venue:
Drive to Office/Office
Temp:
Low to Mid 70s degrees F. High clouds, hazy . - Humidity @ 75 % - PM - 90 degrees F - Humidity @ 40 %
Application Time(running late today!):
8:45 am
Self-Effects:
I was feeling ok and somewhat tired pre-p this morning. Did some chores and morning routine very early this morning, @ 5:30 am. On my way out, completed my application. After application, no immediate effects. About 5 to 10 minutes later, I was feeling more alert. Alone with my mones in the car, felt more of a boost of ‘lets get things done!’ feeling while making phone calls on the way into the office. A has been under the weather since the weekend and called in sick today. I think this has most if not all of her focus now.
Effect on Others:
This is 1/2 hour after application, co-worker in my same office was a little sluggish this morning because his 2 year old kept him up. I asked him how’s it going, you’re looking a little off today. He goes and let’s me know about his late night adventures with trying to get his 2 year old to sleep. He seemed more alert and animated after talking a few minutes. These last few days I haven’t really seen him as he and I have been busy with separate projects. I think this is the first time he’s been exposed to IS. He normally will interact with the usual greetings but if he is busy like this morning, after that will focus on the issue at hand.
My supervisor after speaking with him a couple of minutes relaxed and seemed to have more suggestions for a project I’m working on. We had a good session of collaboration. It was smooth.
I spoke with some people in the warehouse and they seemed unusually upbeat. Normally, they would be a bit down in the mornings, and slowly warm up during the day. Not morning people. So, was talking with them a bit more than usual and trying to get them in my mone cloud for at least a couple of minutes. Ended up the convo was more upbeat and social than just work related.
NOTE: I’m curious to know if because of my self effects others are tuning in to me, or the mones are working here, but more likely a mixture of both.
On my way out of the office, a little over 5 hours from application, I got this curious hit. Usually, the cleaning crew comes in about 12 to 1:30 pm. I guess the were a bit late today and heard them come in getting their cleaning equipment into our office area. I normally won’t be here when they come or quickly move to the conference room where they normally begin and I continue to work from there. If I do see them, I will say a quick hello and smile. Sometimes, an older lady comes in, maybe early 50’s, and will just stick to cleaning.
Anyway, I’ve been in my office all morning and haven’t been anywhere else in the building for too long. I have been on my computer and on the phone during this time.
This older cleaning lady, whom I don’t know well at all, who I’ve spoken with maybe 4 times in all the time I’ve known her, after coming to my area and setting up to start her cleaning cycle (it takes a couple of minutes to get thing over to our office area for cleaning) comes over to my desk and smiles and says: “Oi! Como são coisas?” Hi, how are things? or something to that effect. She speaks Portuguese and very little English. We had, a long while ago, spoken about languages, Spanish and Portuguese, but very briefly. That was like, the first or second time we had spoken about it, years ago!!!
At first I was surprised by her even directing a word toward me, then I responded with a smile and said: “Perfeito, obrigado por sa pergunta. Lamento as habilidades de língua pobres.” I speak Portuguese very poorly as I don’t practice it nearly as much as my Spanish, which I speak more often, and Spanish gets in the way. Basically, I said something like, I’m fine, thanks for asking, sorry about my poor language skills!
She responded with a larger smile and: Não, não, muito bom você está fazendo muito bom. Or something like that, basically, NO NO, you speak very well!
I responded again with a smile: Grazie, (Smiled widely and thought about it, this was Italian for thank you, DOH! Did I mention that I spoke Portuguese poorly!?!?) Then said, Obrigado. Agradecimentos. Basically means much obliged, thanks! She smiles again and says: Trabalharei aqui. Está bem para você? I’ll be working here, is that good or ok for you? I said bem bem, because I was just leaving so I said Bom dia! And she smiled and waved at me. Later I thought about it, that means Good Morning and it was the afternoon!!! Latin based languages are very picky as to when to use these greetings. Oh well!!!
The normal routine would have been a brief hallo! and her saying hallo and looking away and doing what she came to do! I’ve seen her maybe 2 to 3 times a month for a couple of years now. I don’t see anything different than the IS in my office over the course of the morning and I still have a faint scent of IS almost 6 hours later. Still pretty bizarre! And that wasn’t even Instant Openness!!!
Conclusions:
3x IS will give me a feeling of being alert mentally and I would say a satisfaction with just life in general. A feeling of everything will be fine, let’s just smile since we are together! The effects lasted about 5 hours. Also did feel that my appetite was diminished during the day. I worked through lunch and got something to eat when I left the office.
Effects on others seem more obviously inclined to be content (I wouldn’t call it Happy). A relaxed vibe I would call it as well. These effects were seen after about 2 minutes of exposure, but again, not on everyone.
I’ll try out 4x IS then 5 x IS the next couple of days.
I actually received my order today. I was extremely surprised/excited. I placed the order sunday night, and its here tuesday morning? WOW! Those guys at Androtics are great.
I ordered Instant Honesty double strength, and a togo bottle of ammo. They sent me a free instant jerk, so I might try that one soon for fun, though I’ll most likely OD on one spray since I’m 18 AND blood type “O.” But it’ll probably be good for me to have the experience. Plus I have been wanting to test my products on some other people as well, so the Instant Jerk might be great for that, especially since I wanted to douse my Stepfather with some -none to see how that effects the way my mother treats him. 
Looking forward to reading the rest of your day’s report!
That’s sweet!!! I’ve read that IJ will get you the most obvious hits from others!!! I’m just itchin’ to see some of those type of hits as well!
Wondering on your choice of IH, double strength, your rational on a double shot, instead on regular strength.
I’m about to pull the trigger on a 30ml of IS and not sure what else. Just worried my IS TOGO will sputter it’s last breath when I most want to use it!! It’ll last me this test cycle, but as it is, I will use this in my daily mix, no doubt!
About finding my sweet spot with the mones, I have this clip from Rad :
Your General Sweet spot (the level at which you get the best reactions, and the best consistency of reactions)
Your Specialized Sweet Spots (the mones , quantities and ratios at which you get the best results with a particular person)
So, I can check my application to GSS or SSS!!!
The full post from Rad is on my sig, on the link to find your sweet spot.
BTW, I found this post from Joe10’s journal on IG. Good reporting on IG!

Self-Effects:
I was feeling fine this morning. Did my morning tasks feeling fine. Felt a bit on the contented side of my range of feelings. Basic normal morning for me.
Not a perceptible difference in attitude. Basically, pre-p is normal mellow me! I lunch as usual, not too hungry. I ate light. Spoke with coworkers during lunch had some fun with them. Convo light and entertaining.
Comment on the rest later. Once I’ve had more interactions.
Effect on Others:
I was having good convo with others at the office. Pretty basic stuff! Had a good talk with a client on the phone. My Attitude still mellow and helpful. Things are going good. Visits to clients went well, said hi to guys and gals, plenty of smiles both ways. Work went pretty smooth. Convo with A was open and clear.
I should have my order of IS in the 30ml 2x strength TODAY. I know for sure I will be using this REGULARLY. Happy times!!!
1 hit for self effects primarily and looks like 2 or more to add those around me into my ‘feeling fine’ zone!
I will continue to test with the IS TOGO to keep my applications and journal consistent.
Instant Shine Testing Day 10:
4 x IS (1x IO2 Accidental Application!!! Really!!!*)
App Points:
Both sides of neck and each forearm and wrist area
Venue:
Work from Home/Errands/Lunch/Errands
Temp:
Low to mid 60 degrees F. Off shore fog - Humidity @ 60% / PM - mid to upper 80s - Sunshine Humidity @40 %
Application Time:
8:30 am
Self-Effects:
Awoke groggy but dragged my butt out of bed to get to work. I thought about it, and spray myself with 1 shot of IS in the throat and chin. That got me up!!! Worked for about 4 hours without thinking that my bed was calling me back. Actually, A was calling me back! Completed my other morning tasks feeling fine. Then, took a shower, got ready for the day and applied the 4 x IS. I felt a bit of a rush, opening of the eyes, wide awake type of rush, after the application, but went back to a more mellow and alert attitude, for me, about less than 5 minutes later.
During the day I did feel more of a relaxed attitude and this lasted all morning and early afternoon until I ‘accidentally’ applied some Instant Openness 2x!
Effect on Others:
A was in a good mood during morning interactions. A went to work and didn’t see her until I met with her and our friend for lunch. The other people I spoke with brightened up when I was having a conversation with them. I spoke with each a couple of minutes since mornings during the week are usually slow for them. This was at the cleaners, the bank and shopping for some groceries.
It was much more relaxed and easy to converse with others and I could see them visibly at ease. Normally, more than one would have a sour face, like wanting to be anywhere but at work.
This is the friend that always is negative that I have mentioned in other posts. Calling her B, at my suggestion, we carpooled together to a restaurant for a late lunch, @ almost 1:00 pm. Both of them were chatting away, very relaxed and open as I was. This is where the accidental Instant Openness x2 TOGO application occurred! Here’s the skinny.
When I got back, A had already gotten home and was going through the mail and found my Fedex package. She basically said, hey, look your ‘cologne’ arrived! She said, Can I see?!? She always loves to open packages that arrive! She thought the bottle and what she called the TOGO’s ‘samples’, were very plain. She then proceeded to tease that I’m just becoming sooo metro!!! Good mood and good vibes between us. I just had made sure my IS 30 ml was 2x and my Togo IH was 2x. (BTW, I got a gift of IO 2x, Sweeet!) We were on our way out any way so, she just left everything on the counter.
Going to pick up our friend, @ 10 minute drive, I feel a SPRITZZZZ on my right neck! I was driving and talking then, what?!?? A had taken the IO TOGO and had given me a complete spray!!! She doesn’t know IS from IO from IH from any other alphabet combinations we use for mones! She just took it! She leaned in and took a deep breath and said, I love how this smells on you!!!
I just had to laugh, as this was more of the playful A that I know!!! I smiled and said a few things about her comment and finished, let’s use that at a more appropriate time =). She put the IO away and we pickup up our friend. About 15 minutes of mones for all, at least, both the IS x 4 sprays and now the IO 2x strength! Man, they were talking and laughing I was having fun with the convos as well! Crazy stuff they were talking about, normally, I’m not sure, but not with me around definitely. Personal stuff from our friend about her hubby and family. After the long lunch, took longer because of the conversations, than expected. Oh, and the manager came up to our table 3 times to check on how we were doing. She had greeted us when we entered and I mentioned that I loved their menu and said something stupid like I’ll have to ask my doctor for an additional stomach implant just for your menu! She laughed. Then, she seemed to be checking up on us and making conversation as well.
After the long lunch, ‘lets go get some stuff at Target’. So, together we go shopping. Usually B will be very nervous about getting home in time to pick up her boy from school, but was now, there’s plenty of time!
The convos didn’t stop, like spending about 10 minutes discussing and comparing the dry line of Pampers are not as good as the Cruiser’s because of the way they hug the baby when they have Cruiser’s on. You can leave Cruiser’s on longer even if the baby has diarrhea, they’ll hold everything in and won’t spill. I asked about absorption(?!?! I was just into the conversation for some reason). And the convo continued, examples of usage of Pampers of B’s boy, friend’s kids, etc. It was like the jaw screws came loose. Funny stuff! This continued with B until we dropped her at home. She barely would arrive to pick up her boy on time. Normally, she would have been fuming!!!
Feelings were relaxed and fun with a free flow of conversation. This was clearly the IO as the IS didn’t have this much of an impact on A or B that I had seen with previous exposure to just IS in lower dosages.
I did feel worn down by 3:30 pm, almost 3 hours after the accidental IO application and 7 hours after the IS application. I crashed when I got home, slept for an hour. Awoke groggy, but that lifted and I feel like I’ve had a cup o joe!!!
Watched a couple of programs online with A (we are partial to Law and Order) and had dinner.
Conclusion:
4 x seems to be good for IS!!! Both in self effects and effects on most people. I did have some interactions that weren’t spry and lively. The IO x2 was very good with the combo of IS. I wasn’t expecting it but it turned out fun!
4x IS - Very good self effects and good effect on others.
1x IO*2- Makes for a good opening of conversations in self and others.
Now, this is more what I was expecting mones to do!
Tomorrow a 5x of IS and see if more is better.
Man! I just want to try ALL of them!!! I’ll likely take a break between the IS and the IG SS test and mix my IS SS with some other mones I have!!!
BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Nice! Keep it coming.
I tried some instant honesty today with a girl I’ve been hanging out with and she was much more talkative than usual. Not so much on a deeper level, but I didnt push it that direction either. It was more like the filter was gone. I experience similar effects (2 sprays of 2x on my neck)
I love how detailed you are by the way. I added some rep to you.
Thanks bud!!!
Not sure how you add reps yet, but Glad to have 'em!
Do you notice a difference in the application points? From the neck to the forearms or wrists?
IO was surprising to me! This was more along the lines of what responses I was expecting from the mones. IH 2 is what you used! Ya, I’m planning on a mix of (2+IS2) (2+IH2) (2+IO2) with 2 drops of A314 and see what results that give me!!! Double trouble mix!
The WOMENS section has sooo much depth!!! Man, I’m hanging out there more!!!
Some great sticky’s there as well!!!
Really? The women’s thread huh? Then again both sexes use the socials. I’ll have to check it out.
And I’ve not experimented enough with application points to see too many differences. I had ammo on my wrists and had self effects…I had honesty on my neck and had self effects. It seems like your application points wouldnt matter too much in my opinion. I mean honestly, if you put something on the back of your neck and expect it to effect the people in front of you, but not yourself, who are you kidding?
And rep is the heart with the green dot on the bottom left of the posts. And that mix sounds sweet! I’m with you on the double strength socials. No real OD risk and its a better value.
Instant Shine Testing Day 11:
5 x IS (No Instant Openness or any other mone! Really!!!)
App Points:
Both sides of neck, back of head and each forearm and wrist area
Venue:
Drive to Work/Office /Clients office
Temp:
Low to mid 60 degrees F. Overcast - Humidity @ 75% / PM - Low to mid 70s - Overcast Humidity @ 67 %
Application Time:
8:15 am
Self-Effects:
Similar morning routine from yesterday. Up @ 3:30 and working up until 6:30 then go out for a jog with the D. Bfast with A and morning rituals got me out of the door by 8:20 am. Feeling fine, refreshed, ready for the day. After application, a bit more wide eyed, alert feeling. In the enclosed environment of the car, about 20 minutes after application, very slight light headedness. Otherwise, awake, alert and ready for the day.
Effects on Others:
Working on that…BTW, Don’t have a scent of IS @ 4 1/2 hours after application. Collecting my thoughts on interactions of the morning. Will update later!
Now is later! Ok, I had a good morning, good convos with the team. We have meets sometimes on Friday’s to check out projects done, in progress and in the pipeline. Very friendly convos, sometimes these meets can get tense, but not today. In the conference room, pretty laid back even with the big boss present. Lucid with ideas and thoughts, more so than usual, I think. People’s names, contacts, departments at project job sites came easily across multiple projects I’m working on.
Convo with co-workers was easy and seemed that we were flowing easily with ideas and able to collaborate.
Drove to a clients office, Caucasian, very same thing, comfortable convos, easy to discuss options and how I can make things better. Quite laid back. Gal, hispanic, was ready and willing to help out. Was smiling and would indicate that she was in agreement with my suggestions. Good to have things go my way. Not that it didn’t happen pre-p, however, I always enjoy when things are wham bam thank you maam!!!
Worked again from the office and convo’s with supervisor were very productive. No butting heads, just a ‘let’s get it done’ attitude from both of us. That was about 5 hours after application. Still felt fine, though a little sleepy by end of the work day. Usually take a 1/2 hour nap and that clears up quick!
Conclusion:
5x IS - Not much different from the 4x. Though, seems that the exposure time didn’t make a difference either. Still have friendly interactions not unlike yesterday. Only thing more would be the slight dizziness within the hour of application. But all other self effects seemed in line with what I experienced with 4x sans the IO.
