Thanks for the guys at Vein for hooking me up with a tub of TruStim through a promo, much appreciated.
Taste/Mixability - Directions suggest 8-10 oz water. It mixes fine with this amount. The powder is very fine. The Summer Popsicle taste is somewhat weak. I did 1.5 scoops in 8 oz and it was still not very strong. You could definitely use less water if you wanted. The actual taste is nice, about what you'd expect except there is slight mediciney/artificial taste - nothing major.
Profile - It is just a boat load of stims and focus ingredients that hit hard. Don't let the 150mg caffeine fool you. One scoop has sizable doses of both DMHA and Eria Jarensis. Do yourself a favor and start with .5-1 scoop. It is super potent. Props for a fully disclosed profile. Only downside I see is that less than half a scoop is active ingredients. Here is the product page to check out the full list of ingredients:

Effects - I started out with one scoop for my first use for some cardio. The energy hit quick and was pretty smooth throughout my hour long session of HITT/abs/2 mile run. There was no crash. I had some good euphoria. Here's where it gets crazy. I was going to take 2 scoops for my second use but then I looked into the ingredients/doses further and thought it'd be prudent to just do 1.5 scoops with all that is packed in there. Boy was that a smart decision. Note, I can handle 300mg caffeine just fine, 400 will make me pretty jittery. After just 10 minutes of taking, I had a serious mood lift. My drive to the gym was very memorable - the tunnel vision was INTENSE. My eyes kept locking in on what was directly in front of me. I've experienced this before but maybe not to this extreme. About 40 minutes into my workout I specifically remember having some great euphoria. This lasted the entire 1 hour workout. I think 1.5 scoops ended up being too much for me. After my workout, my chest was telling me I was overstimmed. About 4 hours after taking while sitting at my boring job, I experienced a slight crash for about 20 minutes. I got up, walked around, and had a drink. This snapped me out of it. I'm currently using just one scoop + another 100mg caffeine or one rounded scoop. This seems to be about right for me. The energy and focus seem to be dosed evenly. One doesn't overpower the other. With a lot of supplements, you get a ton of energy and just a little focus. As you might expect, I've had some really good mind-muscle connection with this.
Value - You can get 60 scoops for $45 on their site which seems like a pretty good deal. One scoop is really potent. Pair this with some ergonenic ingredients like TruPump and you are set.
In conclusion, I was not expecting there to be such a big difference between 1 and 1.5 scoops - totally took me by surprise. This product works out great for people that like to dose their stims separately. Dosing this at .5-1 scoop makes cardio much more enjoyable. If I ever get back to doing triathlons, I'm going to make sure I have some of this stuff on hand. For someone that likes some good euphoria during my workout, this product was right up my alley. 9/10
