Hey all, Just wanted to share a little something regarding the amount of applications. Usually the advice given out is that we should start off with one spray and work our way up until we find the ‘sweet spot’ so to speak. Something I’ve found is that as my lifestyle and attitude has changed I require less. I was running low on [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) (gotta love those ammo puns 😃 ). Anyhow, I decided to use one spray instead of the usual two to try and make the bottle last a little longer. I found that I got more hits this way. At a bar, whilst waiting to be served a quite attractive young thing (I’d say around early 20’s) was rubbing up against the side of my body. There was plenty of room too!! Other hits included that far more eye contact occured and smiles were exchanged. The self effects didnt seem any less though, something I found a little strange. It appeared that the effects were becoming just as strong as the time I first found the correct dosage. If I’m honest they were slowly reducing over time at 2 sprays. Anyhoo, the moral of the story is that, even though we sometimes find our special dosage it’s still best to continually experiment. And sometimes it is best by reduction. I’ve re-found my prefect dose of ammo and the world is all ok again 😃 Rattle ---

It might be that the body is somehow adapting to the amount of [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) you normally use. If you use a lot of -none it starts producing more of it naturally, so you don’t need that much Ammo anymore… Makes phero enhanced life cheaper, isn’t it? 😉 ---

If you are wearing the Ammo on a daily basis, it’s also likely that the None has built up just a bit over time, and reducing the amount worn is just countering the residual effect and putting you back to your sweet spot. Try going several days without it, then see if you are still getting better results with one spray. ---

Thanks for the replies 🙂 Part of it might be my body adapting, but I’ve also been exercising more often which will increase my level of -none. And yes it does make life cheaper [pheromone](https://a314.com/shop/) wise 😉 Mark, thats a good point however, my days of OD’ing are over 😉 I no longer use pheros on a daily basis. I only use them when I have a specific situation I want to go into enhanced. The days of wearing Ammo at every opportunity (regardless of whether they would be useful or not) are well and truly over. I also use witch hazel (based on your advice to reduce -none OD) and a anti-bacterial gel so the chances of OD’ing are minimal. ---

I still get an OD effect on occasion, or at least become invisible, but it’s usually due to me going a bit crazy and deciding on trying to put 10 pheros together and see how well they blend. Example: I thought adding some Androsterone to the SteveO sex mix could actually ratchet it up a notch…It didn’t. And, a combo of Cops and None got me ignored at Walmart yesterday. But, it’s oh so fun playing with different combos!
