I've used my home made, pennies per ounce, drip lube for years now. I get great chain life and a clean drivetrain. I relube about every 150 miles or weekly in the summer. I take my chain off about every 600 miles for a real cleaning.
I weigh the lube ingredients on a food scale and combine 1 part paraffin with 20-30% heavy gear lube, then add 6-8 parts naphtha/camp stove fuel. If the oil and paraffin is melted together and left to cool, it's still solid paraffin that's a little softer than pure paraffin.
