Re: Taming EW -- \"For Dummies\" version
I haven\'t diluted my EW yet. It\'s still sitting on a shelf in the garage where it won\'t upset anyone. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
I\'ve got a simple plan for dilution, and I\'d appreciate it if someone would tell me if there\'s any reason that it wouldn\'t work. I plan to just dilute the whole quantity of EW at once, so I\'m thinking that I should mix 125 ml of purified water with 1000 ml of Everclear in a container, then stir in the entire contents of the EW bottle, creating (hopefully) a 1000:1 mix exactly.
Will this work?

1000:1... 2000:1... 19,000:1?!

Neither does mine, but considering the smell.....

Re: Taming EW -- Everclear Not Available
They don\'t sell Everclear in my area. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] What\'s the next best thing to use for dilution? Is EW soluble in plain old tap water?
Thanks,

Re: Taming EW -- Everclear Not Available
Copulins are acids.
They should be diluted in water.

I\'ll take your word for it, but using water creates more problems when trying to mix with oils.
Re: Taming EW -- Oil/ Water
Good point--that\'s something to consider if you\'re mixing EW with oils. However, I was planning to apply it with an atomizer after diluting it; in this case, alcohol or water would seem to be the best way to go. I\'ve been warned against using isopropyl, and I\'m worried that vodka might not be strong enough. Any further advice would be appreciated.

Re: Taming EW -- Oil/ Water
Having said that, you could apply separately, or one after the other.
Re: Taming EW -- Oil/ Water
151 rum is about the weakest you can get away with.
Re: Taming EW -- \"For Dummies\" version
Everclear is not available around here. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] So, what\'s the last word on newbie EW preparations? Isopropyl is inexpensive, as is purified water. I don\'t see why I ought to bother with any other more expensive sort of alcohol if the higher price doesn\'t justify the difference. However, your co-workers might assume you\'d had a better-than-average weekend if you went walking around the workplace with dried rum and vaginal pheromones on your skin and clothing.

No, I still haven\'t diluted it yet. I got this bright idea that I might make a \"virtual ladle\" out of the bottle by fastening a pencil, chopstick, or dowel to it before unscrewing the top. The mones could then be safely and carefully poured out.
Final suggestions, anyone?

Well if i can get the cash together to buy alter ego then i will go for the EW deal, getting it into australia could be a problem with customs sticky fingers. From what ive read the dilution is required quite heavily from 1:300 up to 1:1000 for good effectiveness.
I wonder how many bottle are left, keep the results coming guys. Anyone with thoughts on the new Alter egos mens and womens versions. Im with you on the dilution method HB_88 it sounds like a good idea. Or a gas mask and then do the mxing.
Re: Taming EW -- \"For Dummies\" version
If you can\'t get everclear, get grain alcohol of some sort, or at least 151 rum -- good to have for many reasons [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I wouldn\'t use any alcohol except ethanol (which is the drinkable kind, unless it\'s denatured, which is OK too except for drinking.).
Otherwise just use jojoba or palm oil for a quick and dirty dilute.
Re: Taming EW -- \"For Dummies\" version
HD,
You\'re on drugs if you think you\'re going to dilute the whole bottle of EW in anything. Do you keep on empty barrel in your garage? Why would you want to blow the whole bottle on one test mix. Other people are throwing around numbers like 1:1000 and 1:6000 or whatever. How about doing some dilution in smaller bottles.
Anyway, I ain\'t know scientist but I\'ve been using this stuff for weeks. Someone suggested water. Well, I don\'t have the patience to shop for this or that oil or this or that form of alchohol. I started off using vodka, but when it became clear how much dilution this vile stuff needs so that it doesn\'t make anyone sick, I just turned to tap water. Probably not the best, but from what I can figure on this forum. I\'ve been using/testing this stuff more than anyone else and actully getting noticeable postive results. So, take any kind of water and do a mix of whatever you want; 1:1000, 1:10000 or whatever. Have fun. Bye the way,if you get any on your fingers and you don\'t want them smelly like dog sh#t for 3 days, I have found the rubbing the piss out of your fingers with fresh garlic actually works to get rid of the smell. No type of soap has any effect whatsoever!
Re: Taming EW -- \"For Dummies\" version
Hmm, you\'ve given me an idea. We use a lot of purified water at school, I might have to \"tax\" some [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img].
