I was fortunate enough to get my hands on some samples of this (8 pieces total) and have been toying with them as of late. The first thing that I noticed was the intense flavor of the gum. I figured the taste would be quite potent to cover up the nastiness of caffeine and the flavoring did a solid job. If I had to label compare it to something, I would say it's reminiscent of a cinnamon Altoid with a raspberry undertone. I went out on Saturday night and popped 2 pieces and was in a terrific mood and the effects lasted a solid 6 hours. I think the alcohol messed with the texture because it became very gritty after several drinks, but I been chewing it for over 90 minutes by this time.

I used 2 pieces yesterday before i went to lift and go to MMA practice. I first started chewing it at about 3:30 PM and used it more like a piece of nicotine gum this time. The effects seemed to slowly increase as time went on, which I enjoyed moreso than the huge spike I got the previous time. I chewed it until about 5 PM and went to MMA at 6 PM. I was physically tired, but I still had solid mental clarity. One thing I did notice this time is that the gum left a slight numbness in my mouth and throat.

I still have 4 more pieces and will update with more observations from the next 2 rounds.
 
I dig the numbness, personally.

It's more of a tingling, from my experience - but it certainly makes for a great psychological boost as well.

I prefer chewing one piece every 2 hours, than 2 pieces at once.

Can you give more feedback on your workout? The most positive feedback is coming from testers chewing this before and during Cardio - and we've picked up a solid 25 customers for life!

I did a upper-body, vertical flexion/extension session. My primary lifts were:
Weighted Dips
Wide Lat Pulls
Overhead Press
Wide Upright Rows

Ancillary Lifts:
Hammer Curls
Tricep Pressdowns
Hypers

I started the session with 10 minutes of cardio and I zoomed along with my HR at ~130. I noticed that I was sweating profusely after about 5 minutes of cardio and it lasted the entire session. During MMA, it was essentially minor contact drills leading into takedowns and grappling. My cardio was higher than expected and I kept each piece tucked in my cheek for about 5 minutes before chewing it a bit more. I noticed that I hit the mental clarity much, much quicker than usual.

Good stuff, Mang
 
I've finished my samples and used them under different scenarios.

First, up was during my warm-ups for MMA, which was jump-rope, burpess, shadow-boxing, and sprawls. Total time is ~10 minutes and I chewed the gum starting about 30 minutes prior until 5 minutes after the warm-up (had to spit it out because I put in my mouthpiece). The focus I got from this was awesome; I felt fresh mentally even in the later rounds, which is usually when I'm so gassed out that I have the worst reflexes and just try to survive. I could keep going and going and not really feel overly taxed. Big thumbs up for this purpose.

Next, was general day-to-day life. I chewed 2 pieces for about 3 hours, but in a very slow fashion. Most of the time, it was tucked in my cheek like a dip. I actually was in a good mood in the morning, which is extremely rare.

All-in-all, a very innovative product that I will always have on hand. Very high praise to Dsade and RPN.
