Nos Ether Level One Initial Feedback

The smell is just like the original lemonade flavored Ether (not the first ever, but when you re introduced it a yr ago or whatever)

Taste is sour, but my favorite of any Nos Ether product Ive used

It mixes up as a murky water, slightly yellow/brown. The bottom has a salt and pepper look that doesnt dissolve as there are black specs that resemble pepper and white clumps that look like big salt particles.

The packaging was great, with the translucent blue container and all.

The price was great at 20 bucks!

Overall, Im pleased thus far, and I'll report back on gains in a few weeks.
 
How many scoops/servings did you need? Am a shock therapy/jacked kind of guy but I this price per serving I may need to try it out

How does it compare to the original? I don't know why I ask cause I have never used it but it would be good to know

ive only used it once, at one scoop

this is nothing like shock therapy or jacked, those are stimulants with low doses of creatine thrown in, this is a creatine/citrulline/BA supp that is stim free
 
Didn't know it was stim free! So how do them stim free no products compare to stim ones? I once heard that while arginine and such help widen veins caffine closes them. Any truth to this?

After doing the math on Ether Level 1, I was surprised to see how cost effective it is. It's almost worth it for the CitMal alone! Needless to say I'm picking some up.

Amen to that brotha.
 
Yeah, I'm digging this NOS LV1 fo sho
 
i'll add i dont get any tingles either
 
I just got it yesterday, tastes fine, i will give a decent review in a month or so. I am soley trying to work on my bench and deadlift right now. Right now i am taking DTH, and the NOS ether level 1. I am also taking EC to lose some fat and controlled labs pm reduction.
 
i found it to be pretty refreshing after a weightgainer shake and a log workout tonight, i also got the tingles this time, but just slightly.

im very glad this one wasnt exclusive to fefifo as it may be my new creatine of choice
 
I just got my order in today and tried it. The flavor says Raspberry Lemonade but it tastes more like a lemony herbal tea. I hate tea so I'm disappointed by how it tastes.

The ingredient profile is good and if it works well I don't care what it tastes like. I know I have tasted much worse.

They might want to change the flavor name to lemon tea though.

Mixes great with a lemon Gatorade.

i think im gunna start doing this, the super sour taste makes it a chore to consume twice a day, but for the price this is amazing.
 
What you guys thinking of using this intra-workout at 2-3 servings !? ... maybe with some wms/gatorade/h20 in the mix.

gotta be honest with you, you would have to be tough as nails to sip this during a workout.

the taste isnt bad its just soooo sour from the high dosed cm, ive went back to dosing this as i did the real nos ether by adding the scoop to 4-6oz water and chugging.
 
I tried it again today and it made me nauseous. I could barely finish my workout without throwing up.

I fixed the taste issue by dumping a Crystal Light packet into it but it made me feel horrible.

i too get nausea if i mix it in too much water... so i dont now and theres no longer any problems
 
How much water do you mix it in? I tried 10oz today and that was too much for me.

That's how I get it done as well. Of course I do this with all mix drink supps regardless. I don't like carrying it around drinking etc. I want it down and done with.

take it 1hour pre-workout.
 
Just ordered some. I'm poor as hell, so this is clearly the ONLY choice.

I don't understand those double and triple dosing. There absolutely no need, with the ingredient profile provided. Two doses split daily is a good idea, but 2-3 pre-workout? No way.

whos talking about 2/3 doses pre-workout?
 
took 1st dose today, 1hr b4 legs workout , taste lemon ice tea sour with herbal taste no bad; workout was great intensity was there pumps were very good , decently a great product, juss proven ingredients with no crap added.
 
Loving this stuff!

Flavor - mega-sour Lipton Lemon Tea. I like the natural sweetener! Easy to down, but I pucker up a bit.

Positive effects - I'm a week in, and looking bigger and more vascular. WAY vascular. The creatine weight gain is in full effect. Nice, since it's been a while. Strength in the gym is great, and in judo endurance and oxygen uptake was great. I end up playing on the ragged edge of aerobic/anaerobic, and this helps a lot. No BA tingle.

Negative effects - a full scoop made me feel a bit weird/queasy. I'm doing 3/4 scoop twice a day, and feel better, though sometimes I feel a bit odd for an hour or so after. I seem to be getting used to it.

Overall, a killer ingredient profile at an insane price.
 
i am up a little over 5lbs since I started this stuff. i did tabata squats on Monday and the pump, which is usually sick for obvious reasons, was uncomfortably ****ed up. my quads and hamstrings felt like they were going to split the skin, and i could't bend my leg more than 90 degrees. i definately walked out of the gym looking significantly different than i walked in.

lovely!
 
it interferes with the pump effect, though much moreso with arginine-.based products than citrulline, in my experience. creatine and ba can be taken with protein. the gynostemma may require an empty gut, dunno.
 
trainnate said:
Why are you not suppose to take it with protein?
Click to expand...

What Poison said is mostly true, and because the product when mixed with protein will mess up your gut. Its like pooring alot of salt on top of a cupcake and eating it.
 
Okay, thanks for the answers. I was just wandering how I'm gonna take protein and Nos Ether level 1 post-workout. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I came up with is take protein immediately post-wo, then an hour or so later take the Ether Level 1. I also take SuperPump pre-wo.

take NOS ETHER Lv1 as ur leaving the gym, take the protein 30 min. to 1 h after the NOS ETHER Level1
 
so from what i gather take this stuff about an hr before working out and right when leaving?

yep, i think thats on the directions for use.
 
ok so I got some in today and it does taste pretty bad but i could give a **** less as long as it works. I'll post more about my workout when i get back from the gym.

Pumps are pretty sick on this stuff, huh?

not nearly those of the Nos Ether Pro or whatever its called now, but not many can contend with that stuff

Really? 30-40 minutes before workouts and I'm jacked halfway through.

BTW, I'm doing quick workouts pre-judo class. Today I slammed my NOS, hit the gym, and did alternating pullups and dips to failure, with 10 seconds rest in between, or whatever it took me to walk between stations. 5 reps each set.

Then I hit judo for 2 hours. Warmup is a nasty calisthenic fest for 15 minutes, then 20 minutes of practicing a technique, 15 minutes ground fighting, and 45 minutes full on stand up judo fighting. 5-6 minute rounds, back to back, no rest. I fought the female US Olympic bronze medalist from last year. Tore me up.

My honest opinion? There are better products for oxygen-debt/anaerobic exercise; but this stuff is very good for power, intra-set recovery, and aerobic endurance (not to mention pumps). I'd buy another tub right now to take advantage of the price, if I could afford it.
