I know that the following question refers to no mones which are usually discussed on this forum. But perhaps nevertheless everybody can help me in this regard. My question is about Alter Ego (AE) which is discussed on the pherolibrary, but currently there are only few people in the forum: When you do a search about AE (especially the dosage) then it is mostly recommend to apply one to three drops of AE. But one drop of AE contains only about 5 mcg androsteNone and is buffered by a relatively high amount of androsteRone (None:Rone 2:1). Alpha7 (A7) contains about 17.5 mcg androsteNon per drop and is buffered by only few androsteRon (None:Rone 6:1). Nevertheless with A7 it is recommend to use up to two drops which would have a totally androsteNone amount of 35 (!) mcg. Both AE and A7 are oil-based and so the [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) are released more slowly. But why the recommend (maximal) dosage of AE is three drops (=about 15mcg androsteNone) and with A7 it is two drops (=about 35mcg androsteNon)? Actually it should be that you can use much more AE, because the None in it is buffered by so much Rone and Nol compared to the A7, or not? ---

It’s very hard to get the dosing right with AE. I think I OD even with 1 drop, and I’ve had good hits with 2 sprays of TE. When I get around to it, I’m gonna dilute some AE down to about 1:5 with ethanol. That should calm it down enough to get something out of it. AE hits pretty good when it does hit, but I think it’s a little rich straight out of the bottle. ---

Well in pherolibrary it does say anywhere from 2-5 drops for general dosage of Alter Ego. I’ve never bought or owned AE so I can’t say for sure but there are 2 possible reasons. The composition of AE is DPG and alcohol and its viscosity (thickness of the fluid) may be lesser than a true oil variant product such as Scent of Eros, A314, Alpha 7 and so forth. It also could be the fact that the androstenone in AE is of a more potent kind or there may be some other pheromone that they put in there that enhances certain attributes about it. They may give you the ratios of the pheromones on the site but that isnt the whole picture because I would think if it was everyone would simply make their own AE rather than buy it from the seller. Take for example Edge. If i were to put 5 mL’s of edge in a to go from AD the spray quantity of none would be 6.25 mcgs per spray. I have tried on a few occasions 6.25 mcgs of straight none and the reactions are nothing like using TE. The reactions from people are less refined and I don’t get nearly as many women being receptive to it. The fact is the there are secret ingredients that make up the other 6.25 mcg of the formula giving it a total of 12.5 mcgs a spray. Don’t be stuck on the numbers. TUTH for some reason has more aggression packed into its small package of 2.5 mcgs a spray than straight enone ever would. TE and [Instant Jerk](https://a314.com/product/instant-jerk/) are on par with each other although TE is more sexual and IJ is more persona oriented. TE is less wearable IME than IJ and it has half the enone kick (6.25 vs 12.5 at least generally since I dont know the actual sprayer of the TE bottle) I don’t consider rone a real “buffer”. It takes the edge off of it and puts it in a more likable stance. The amount of nol in AE on the other hand is insufficient to be a real buffer for the none as its not even at equal amount with it. Most people would like this because they want the sexuality to shine through still. ---

Unless you’re an old man or a well showered Asian, 5mcg is plenty of androstenone for most healthy young bucks–sometimes too much. I think back in the day the pherolibrary dosage was aimed at older men in need of [pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/) replacement therapy, hence the heavier dosage. Three drops of AE on a teen or college age male often results in an OD. Incidentally I found AE to be extremely effective at helping attracting women sexually, much more so than Ammo which seems more like a general social enhancement. However I hate the AE scent. Smells like a bad cologne from the 1980s…
