I would but it doesn't help that Gino basically takes a bite out of everything he brings you

Folks, I've easily spent over 1k on your products and will continue to support the brand because of the scientific approach that you take...

But let's be serious, you can't be #1 with flavoring as bad as it is on so many products.

Please invest in this aspect. My testicles feel no bigger by having to "chug" my shakes to avoid puking.

No worries friend, we hear ya loud and clear. We are working hard at improving our flavouring system, and we are glad you guys are giving us feedback to help us improve for the future :)

What the boss man said
 
Appreciate the approach you've taken in being receptive to feedback.

Let's not hide behind the facile excuse though that "some raws are impossible to cover and we prefer effectiveness". It is not an either or world.

E9 is an example of a very well backed product that is also flavoured well and in the market for pre-workouts we can find a fair number of similarly profiled products to Conqu3r that actually taste good (to give some examples illustrating that it is a false dichotomy).

If you embrace this last aspect while staying true to your identity of novel/researched ingredients, rather creating "watered down" but great tasting products for puss*es then you'll retain the differentiating factor of your brand while gaining access to a larger market.

You do something twelve times and you can never live it down ugh!
 
Don't care about taste. Quality + value >>>>>> taste.

If I want something that tastes like a rainbow I'll buy a pack a f'n skittles.
 
I think the point is if you have a product with quality, value and good flavoring, then youre untouchable.

Makes sense. I'm sure OL is working hard to make flavor a priority as well

Not to derail the topic but a few weeks ago I emailed stack3d and spoke with "Shane" about the certified protein program and they said it was about $1,000 to get the tests done, the company pays for it.

Now I am absolutely perplexed as to why more have not participated (he said no protein has failed the testing) $1,000 is chump change to most of these companies and it's an incredibly small price to pay for that kind of publicity and status of being on such an "elite" list.

Am I missing something or is there really that much of a lack of confidence and quality out there? The $1,000 would bexpect made back in no time if they got "Stack3d Certified"

Also not to derail the topic. Interesting point. I would like to see BPI and MT get their protein tested as these companies often do BOGO for the protein. Clearly $1k is nothing to them given how much they pay BB for all the promos.

You misinterpret.

Just because ergonine tastes good, may come down to the fact that those particular ingredients have been around a while and are particularly easy to mask.

Introduce new herbals and that changes. one product being easy to mask doesn't necessitate that another, completely different yet also effective product is easy to mask. For instance, Betaine anhydrous, creatine, citrulline etc are very easy to mask and can readily be consumed without flavouring, but try berberineor TeaCrine and you'll want to die.

if OL put out a ergonine clone and flavoured it poorly, then id be asking questions lol. That won't happen, but hopefully you catch what I mean

Makes complete sense. Great way of breaking it down

honestly I drank e9 unflavored and taste was fine, so basically no flavor issue without flavor anyways

If you re-read my statement, then you'll see that I didn't misinterpret anything: the follow up point on Conqu3r was included for that exact purpose.

An apples to apples comparison of other pre's with similar profiles results in us finding much better flavoring in these other brands' efforts.

My point has been made and dragging this on is unnecessary. The OL folks have been very receptive to feedback, as well as, polite in their replies so I have no more to say.

Looking forward to what 2017 will bring.
 
On the flavoring thing: I currently use CU, Triumph, and Endure+ - tried all flavors. Some are *really* good, some are just good/ok. Being a bulk guy, I don't really care *too* much about flavoring- BUT - to LLN's point:

We know, as per Rep confirmation, that the original Triumph flavoring system was swapped out for the current one, which is just "ok". That original Peach Sorbet was THE BEST supplement I've ever tasted. How much more would a tub of Triumph cost with the old system? I'd pay it.

A rep may confirm, but the new flavouring system was better equipped to handle some of the fouler tasting raws? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

The reason Ergonine can handle being unflavoured is because none of the ingredients are particularly strong/ foul. But add something like TeaCrine to the mix and I bet they wouldn't offer it unflavoured haha

No ingredient changed. I'm sure it was just cheaper.
