If you have a titration vial marked in 1ml increments, and you have a phero at 5000mcg/ml, and you need to add 5mcg (.01ml), how accurate do you think youll be? If you havent had caffeine, youll be lucky to split come in at 1000mcg. However, if you need 10000 mcg, measuring 2ml and getting somewhat close (+/-10%) is easy. > > Put another way, its like the difference between trying to drive at 65mph and trying to drive at 65.308 mph. You need a lot more skill for the same amount of accuracy, an exponential amount. I think the confusion here is the type of mixes being discussed. As the first and following posts of this thread indicate, the topic in question is mixing components together in a bottle and juggling the concentrations and amounts needed to produce a mix with a specific yield of each component per spray. I believe what you’re commenting about is more towards applying individual components separately by either spray, dab, or drop from a bottle. If I were to try to apply a drop of 5000 mcg/ml component, there would be very little accuracy or precision possible since the method only allows for specific unit quantities of distribution (1 drop, 1 dab, 1 spray). In that respect, you would be correct with your assertion. However, in the context of mixing in a bottle, that no longer applies since we are combining multiple components together in a process that by definition dilutes the concentration of the component and is affected by the quantities (volumes) of other components. For example, if I were to mix 2 ml of the 5000 mcg/ml component with 8 ml of alcohol, that would produce a mix of 10 ml with a component concentration of 1000 mcg/ml since it only composes 20% of the mix. Now if I were to mix 2 ml of the 5000 mcg/ml component with 98 ml of alcohol, a 100 ml mix with a component concentration of 100 mcg/ml would be produced (2% of mix). If I wanted my mixes to have a high concentration of my desired component, I would have to start out with a higher concentration since mixing (especially with large volumes of other components) will dilute my component concentration. For example if I have a bottle of 25 mcg/spray P74, if I used just the spray, my usable maximum concentration/spray is 25 mcg/spray (100% of mix). All my mixes will never exceed 25 mcg/spray of P74, and if I mix other components into the mix, the concentration will be significantly lower. To maintain a desired concentration at the 25 mcg/spray level, I will have to use a higher concentration strength of P74 (50, 100, 150 mcg/spray, etc) so that after mixing and diluting with other components, I can still end up with a net mix concentration of P74 at 25 mcg/spray. It would probably be easier to distinguish between the 2 methods of mixing. Most of the “mixes” that I see are usually a combination of sprays or drops (e.g. 3 sprays of Ammo, 4 sprays of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/), 2 drops of A314, etc.), and I think it would be easier to call these **“Combinations”** or **“Combos”**. On the other side are true mixes that are composite blendings of different components together into a new mix that is used as a stand-alone product. These should probably be referred to as **“Mixes”** or **“Potions”** as I like to call them sometimes 😛 --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/when-mixing-your-pheromones/2834)._
