Interesting. I’ve been toying with the idea of wrapping in cellophane after applying the oil, then applying heat on top of that to keep my rice-sock from picking up the oil. My motivation hasn’t kicked in on that part of the experiment, since the hard vein is almost completely gone now, even after moderately strong jelqing. I do think some kind of wrap with heat on top would only increase the response.
I don’t know what kind of evaporative rate this stuff has, Olive Oil is a pretty thick carrier. I store mine in a graduated bottle so I can keep an eye on how much I’m using, I leave it open all the time and haven’t noticed any kind of obvious evaporation.

That is soooo excellent to hear, man! And thanks for adding the IR to the mix, I was wondering about that.

:/D I love that. Once that vein trouble is long gone, I imagine you can increase the carrier oil a bit to lower the concentration of the essential oils and lessen the wood-stimulating effect. For now, since you want to keep dilating that vein, I guess your stuck with mental images of the yicky stuff. :D
