The easy ones for me are Sxd9 and OD probably because they don't exist in oil form so no comparison can be made.
NAG ans BWG are trickier. At the moment i'm on NAG and I love it but it took me time, dosage is important. BWG, too early to say, too recent to be able to tell any valid point. Only thing for sure is that the the carrier makes them completely different products vs the oil form.
You're right! That's an excellent point.
The gel carrier used for both sxd9 and OD is different than the one used for the rest of the LAL gels, according to Gary.
Also, both OD and sxd9 can be applied by the pump rather than by the drop.
The recommened dose for either sxd9 or OD is 1-2 pumps. Meanwhile, if you're used to a particular dose for an oil product (let's say 5 drops of NA oil), then you'd need to try to apply that equivalent volume in the gel (i.e. 5 drop-sized globs of NA gel).
Even for those, one can still apply by the pump,though. Just keep in mind, each pump is the equivalent of 11-12 drops of its oil version (euro-drops). Thus, if you're not used to higher doses of the oil, you will notice a difference using the gel if you're dosing by number of full pumps.
Thankfully, Garry's formulas are balanced and can be worn at high doses and it won't backfire. It would just be overkill or extra/unnecessary product you're using.
For example, I was such a noob at the beginning, I interpreted 1 drop as one 1 dropper-full. AV was my first product and I interpreted 1-2 drops as 1-2 glass pipettes filled to maximum.
I applied 1.5 of those. That would be aroubd 30-40 drops of AV!
I wore this on the first day I ever tried pheromones and.. I got incredible results. Made me believe in mones.
