Just wondering which products are buffered and which ones I can OD with. What exactly does buffered mean anyway, how does that work? I mean, can I have a bath in the stuff or what?
Buffered means that the pheromones are balanced. For example, Ammo has the same amount of Androstenone as TUTH, but it also has equal amounts of two other pheromones that help counter any harshness in the androstenone. It is possible to OD on Ammo, but you’d need a higher volume of it than you would to OD on TUTH.
Aside from some of the MXes, Ammo and A314 are the only men’s products that are mixed with multiple pheromones though I could be wrong. If anyone wants to correct me on this, please do so. Don’t like giving out incorrect information. Anyway, the products that are multiple pheromones are mixed to be balanced, with some pheros buffering others. The main one that needs to be buffered is androstenone, which is also present in A314.
As far as ODing goes, when we talk about it in a negative connotation, we’re generally referring to the androstenone. It’s a powerful pheromone by itself and is easy to OD on. It’s like the old Bryl Cream commercials-- “A little dab’ll do ya.” However, it’s possible to OD on other pheromones.
This is why we always recommend testing each out seperately, starting with a dose of 1 spray or drop. Work your way up to what seems most effective for you. This takes careful observation of people’s reactions, but more importantly, it takes some proactivity on your part. Start conversations, mingle, etc. Watch how people act around you. If you see nothing out of the ordinary, add one more spray or drop.
Gradually stepping up your doses will help you avoid ODing.
Hope this helps! I’m still sipping my “morning coffee” (had a late night last night.), and am not fully awake yet.

I think the “instants” have a primary pheromone with small amounts of “steering” pheromones. Not sure if TUTH has anything besides -none or not.
Gentleman, shine, CTTM have multiple pheromones also.
Shine is mainly TAA but it also has 2 others with it.
Gentleman is mainly Rone and I THINK it has other pheromones in it.
CTTM is a-nol and b-nol.
You should check out Tisha’s pheromone guide for women. It’s a very thorough guide on all the instant lines and it gives you an idea of what’s in them.
I think of buffering as a main pheromone with trace amounts of other pheromones for steering and focusing the main pheromone’s effect. For example, A314 is 80% androsterone but contains more than a dozen trace pheromones to temper and focus its effect. Turn Up The Heat is designed in a similar way but with androstenone as main ingredient. Instant Female Magic is buffered with steering pheromones to reduce male depression. On the other hand, products like Ammo and Alter Ego are balanced mixes designed to combine the desirable traits of social, masculine and sensual pheromones in a do everything product. Ammo doesn’t have a main or dominant pheromone but, instead, balances androstenol, androsterone and androsterone into a general purpose social/sensual product.
For layering or mixing single pheromone experimones or chemset products you can buffer or balance pheromone effects. I find chemset androstenone or NPA is mellowed nicely with a wee bit of alpha androstenol. If I mix androstenone 1:1 with androstAnone I can retain much of horny while reducing much of the fear/nervousness some younger women experience.
Renny and Zeph, thanks for the correction. And the reps (Renny and Jamesbonded).

I think Instant Gentleman has a small amount of Meo-EST, I believe. IMO, it contributes very little to the effect- it may just be there for people who would wear it on its own- I have no problems wearing either an androsterone product or Instant Gentleman interchangeably and don’t notice a difference, honestly. Besides, androsterone has effects even at the 5mcg level, whereas Instant Gentleman is something like 12 mcg totaly per spray.
