Question NO Explode

Please help! I bought two No Explode, both fruit punch flavor and honestly mixing it with water I feel is has an after tase and I have to drink it fast without letting it sit for too long. Have anyone felt the same way and if so what did you decided to mix it with to avoid this?

I have the grape flavor and its the exact same for me, have to drink it fast. It definately works but the taste isn't the greatest. If you are not a big fan of the taste different brands make pill forms.

No matter your opinion on N.O. Xplode or BSN in general, the best flavor is Blue Raspberry IMO. So if you're going to get it in the future, that's what I would suggest.

As far as mixing. How many oz of water are you using? The suggested amount is ~5-18 oz. If the taste is too much try putting more water. 18 might be a little too watery, but just see what works. Stir for about 10 seconds and it should be fine.

Wink Thanks

Will keep the new flavor in mind. Will try to add more water, but if I am not mistaken I was using 16 oz of water. Maybe I just need to suck it up, give it away or throw it away. Thanks. It does works, and I know everything good dont taste good, but JESSSSSS....why suffer. LOL

Oh, no problem with BSN...love the cheaters and the nitrix and the dessert protein shake. Great company. No issues there.

Where did you buy it from? GNC will let you return it for a different flavor. Next time go with the blue raspberry, it tastes great.

noxplode is a great product imo and I also think it tastes great.

If you struggle with the taste of that perhaps you need to find some tabs / caps.

Good luck brah

My first experience with NO Xplode was orange. I didn't mind it too much.

If you hate the taste, just keep adding more water until it's tolerable. For the future, take a look at MRI Black Powder. I'm using that right now and it's great (I bought it based on the reviews found on these forums.)

Haha, nothing like that salty-tasting NO XPLODE foam. Nasty stuff.

Make sure you are stirring it and not shaking it, but yeah, I always drank mine fast, foam and all. Good luck.

D0RAN is not very well liked. (-100)
I love it

I took N.O. explode several times. I personally love it, it gives me great pumps. It does taste horrible, I take fruit punch and only thing I think that it went good with is orange juice. Just make sure you take it after atleast 1 hour of eating. It will give you lots of gas lol. Another great supplement I would take if I didn't have N.O. Explode would be Superpump250. Taste is better IMO. Overall N.O. Explode is a great product and has helped me alot.

Tastes Grrrreat

I took the grape flavor and liked it. I like that it has a quasi carbonation to it and i didnt notice an after taste. Not to down the Nano but it didnt mix well and didnt taste ans good to me. Plus the pums on the NO were pretty good better than the Nano (in my opinion).

Well if you haven't already, throw in some icecubes in there. If you let it sit, mix it again. I had fruit punch, no complains other than the fact that you build tolerance to it fairly quickly.

I mix my Fruit Punch NO Explode with a scoop of Xtend (orange Flavor) with about 15 oz of water. I also have a battery powered mixer that does a great job blending the two. I found that the combo of these two makes it taste much better. Has anyone stacked it with Cellmass and if so how were the results?

Wink Thanks to all replies

Thanks to all for the great reviews...actually I was shaking it instead of stirring it. I do use the Xtend (like all flavors) might try it with it; and of course drink it fast instead of letting it sit. Rather stay away from the OJ cause the extra sugar. Thanks to all. And next time, I will try the berry flavor.

I'm taking NO Explod now and it works pretty well. I've had to up my scoops to keep the effects similiar but it tastes pretty good (fruit punch). And yes it does give you the sh*ts.
