Just a quick question before I go off to work.

I just applied some A314, but my first drop I accidentally touched the tip of the drop while it was forming to the tip of my finger.

Aside from dosing discrepancies, will there be transfer (salts and other particles) from my skin into the bottle and if so, can this alter/damage the chemistry of the phero inside the bottle?

I don’t think so.

Btw, I think phero is not that easily damaged after all

It’s important to avoid contamination. In such a scenario however, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Unless your finger had some really nasty stuff on it.

If it really bothers you, transfer the works to a dropper bottle (squeeze dropper type). Easy apps and no finger in da hole.

I transfer a small amount of A314 to a roll-on bottle (old SOE bottle). The roll-on actually contacts your skin during application, hence the small amount transferred. However it’s so much easier to apply, especially on the run.

Maybe i’ll try the roll-on bottle in the future.  
For now i’m relieved to know that I didn’t mess up the A314 solution.

Basically pheros are pretty resilient I surmise?

They’re just the funky stuff from armpits, crotch, trinkle and ass, so yeah, it’s difficult to harm BO…

I have been dabbing a314 for a while now, since it is more precise and controlled for me than waiting for a drop, haven’t noticed any indication of whatsoever negative… maybe i should get a bottle like taa oil or dirty’s 🙂
