Residual effects?

As I continue to absorb and learn I continue to bump against the realities of residual effects. Most vendors offer effective longevity estimates in the 4-8 hour range, yet "build up" is mentioned by many as well.

So we have a scenario where mones wear off in in hours but potentially linger for days? Many of us will "top off" a mix after 6-8 hours to freshen it up or change from a daytime blend to a different product or combo for a night out.

This leads me to a couple of questions.

1) which generic type is the stickiest? (longest residual)
2) which types morph over time?

I know that some mones alter with body chemistry over time and can/do? convert over time?

I'll use my combo today (courtesy of MMM) 2 drops BW (vs. his 3) 2X Core and 1X Evolve (applied around 9AM or so). Now it's 6PM...

So what's gone? What's lingering? Has anything "morphed"? If I am contemplating imbibing a beverage or two at a local watering hole in a few hours what options are best...reapply some or all? Or something similar?

I've got my trusty sample of Praetorian (which I love), Haven't even cracked the seal on my order of Dionysos. While DP, LIIK, Taboo, NA, AV and others are sulking in the corner out of neglect...

Needless to say things can get a bit confusing
