Triplewhammy Presents... naNO Vapor

[triplewhammy]

INTRO
-------
I received 3-4 sample packets of MT's latest product, naNO Vapor, from the Arnold Classic this past weekend of this new product by MT so I figured I'd review it since it was just released. I don't really have enough to post pictures or do a log, but I will review as much of it as I can. This supplement is basically a preworkout cocktail but JAMPACKED with ingredients.

DOSING
--------
The packet suggests to begin by taking 1/3 of the amount, working up to the full packet if desired. Today I took 1/3 of the packet, and will take 2/3 next workout, then a full packet.

EXPECTATIONS
---------------
I assumed that this product would provide pumps, strength, endurance, energy, maybe focus, who knows what else. There are a LOT of ingredients in here, too many to list, so who knows what will affect me.

REVIEW
--------
Today, for a full-body workout, I took 1/3 of the packet...

Taste: 6/10
The taste wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't great by any means. I reserve a 10/10 taste for products such as Xtend watermelon that are genuinely good to drink. This was just OK. Tasted like slightly "spicy" fruit punch kool-aid, and with a strange aftertaste (due to the numerous ingredients).

Pumps: 10/10
I actually would say this is the BEST benefit I noticed so far with this dosing. The pumps were GREAT -- as good as any other product out right now that I've tried. My arms stayed pumped for probably a solid hour after working out. Good job in this department!

Strength: 7/10
I had some very good strength on this, however it is too early to say with just one dosing HOW good it is for strength. I felt like some of the weights I generally use were a tad easier. This rating may increase with an increased dose.

Endurance/Energy: 6/10
I felt that this was "above average" as far as how energized I was, but it was not great by any means. I was getting worn out midway through my workout, which doesn't happen with other energizing products. I was hoping to feel absolutely hyped after taking this, but I wasn't. Again, a larger serving may very well change this, but this rating reflects the suggested 1/3 of the packet (equivalent to one scoop of the product).

MISC
-----
-This product claims to be "zero wait time" as far as entering your system and begin working. I felt that it did indeed work fairly fast, as I took it only 20 min preworkout and felt ready to go by the time I started. Good job here MT.
-I also wonder how much of my dosing is affected by the cautioned "nanomolecular atmospheric dispersion" listed on the packet. Basically, some of the molecules are so small that they can disperse into the air if the powder gets shaken. This could unfortunately skew the results depending on how much, if any, of the product leaves.

I will update this review as I take more doses and give my thoughts. At that point I will give an overall rating. Hopefully, this can give everyone some feedback on this new supplement. As ridiculous as the ingredient list is, I must say it's kind of sweet how much is packed into this supplement...all bases are covered!

Nice review so far Triple....I was pleasantly surprised by the first packet I used (I used the whole thing ). Did you notice your lips tingle afterwards?

[triplewhammy]

UPDATE
-------
Today was legs and shoulders. Hit 'em hard and quick. I had just gotten back from an hour and a half drive, went straight to the gym before it closed, and had 40 min to hit the weights. Needless to say, it was intense.

DOSING
-------
Dosing increased today to 2/3 of a packet. I made my best attempt to prevent nanoparticles from diffusing, but who knows LOL.

REVIEW
--------
Taste: 6/10
Again, it tasted like slightly spicy kool-aid, which wasn't bad but not great. The 2/3 packet was mixed in approximately 16oz water. Mixability has never been an issue, everything went in straight, although with more powder it definitely was "cloudier" and thus a "thicker" (but not "thick" by any means) mixture. Not bad, not great either.

Pumps: 10/10
The pumps were not as noticeable today because I didn't do arms or any other main upper body, but shoulders and legs had a pretty good pump going, which generally does not happen for those bodyparts, so I'm sticking with 10/10 pumps here.

Strength: 8/10
I would say my strength was actually even better with 2/3 of a packet. Leg press was feeling real good today.

Endurance/Energy: 7/10
This is another category that I felt got a boost from increasing the serving size. Again, I was not necessarily in the "mood" to lift after a long car ride, but I felt pretty good going to the gym and in the gym. Mental endurance also felt good too, which may or may not be a result of this product, who knows. Certainly an increase here though.

MISC
-----
-Next dose will be a FULL packet! With all these ingredients, it appears to be equivalent in size to about 1-2 scoops of protein powder! I imagine that some categories may go up with the full dose...

Pressing On!

Any updates with the full packet?

[triplewhammy]

UPDATE
--------
Today was chest, lats, calves, and rear delts (bizarre mix -- I know). Pumped out 9 sets of chest, 4 for lats, 3 for calves, 3 for rear delts. Plenty of workout time, good 5 min warmup and stretching.

DOSING
--------
The dosing was up to a full packet (technically 3 scoops) of naNO Vapor, taken 15 min preworkout on a (basically) empty stomach.

REVIEW
--------
Taste: 5/10
Ok taste actually went down for the full packet. 5/10 is exactly average, which is what this was. I mixed this in approx. 16oz of water and it really wasn't exciting. I realize I could've used more water, but at 15 min preworkout, I really do not tolerate a ton of water in my stomach well while lifting. I do realize that with this many ingredients it's tough if not impossible to make it taste "good," so I commend MT for doing what I assume is the best they can.

Pumps: 10/10
Again, pumps were rockin' well! My chest had a GREAT pump to it, definitely more than usual. If you are looking SOLELY for a pump product, this is a GREAT choice.

Strength: 8/10
No noticeable improvement on strength, but then again 8/10 is very good in my book. All lifts "felt" really good. Don't know what else to say for this aspect, it is on par with other current preworkout formulas that I've used.

Endurance/Energy: 8/10
This is the one category that I felt got notched up a bit by doing the full dosing. Although energy wasn't great, endurance was. I stayed strong throughout the entire workout and although I was tired, my strength remained. Two notes for this category: 1) I really appreciate MT putting the dose of actual caffeine in this product, as I don't like not knowing how much of this very addictive substance is in a product. 2) I also appreciate the fact there is "only" 110mg per scoop (330 per pouch), as you can adjust your dose accordingly -- I assume part of the reason they suggest starting with 1/3 of the packet. 330mg is kind of high (I know not for some) for a preworkout mix, but like I said you can dose how you want and it's nice to know what you're dealing with. The increase in caffeine I imagine is partly responsible for increased endurance here. Lastly, I did not notice any "jitteryness" at all with this dose.

MISC
-----
-Next, and final, dose will be for arms day. Pumps will probably blow my mind, we'll see what else happens.
-I appreciate being able to take this product a mere 15min preworkout and feel it working, as it is sometimes difficult and/or tedious to have to time several products, this one fits well with a busy schedule.
-I did notice glycocyamine and yohimbine in the product list, which may cause concern for some. It doesn't really bother me, but I thought I'd point that out.

sick updates/reviews. thanks a lot for this

[triplewhammy]

FINAL UPDATE
--------------
Today was biceps (9 sets), triceps (9 sets), and forearms (3 sets).

DOSING
--------
Again, today I took a full packet (3 servings) approximately 15 min preworkout.

REVIEW
--------
Taste: 5/10
The taste was still not delightful, but I will say that I was starting to get used to it. At least you know now not to get excited for the taste.

Pumps: 10/10
Again, awesome rock hard pumps. Very, very good category for this product. Biceps and triceps were bulging after 2 or 3 sets, and even forearms felt a bit fuller during the workout. Excellent.

Strength: 8/10
Same rating here. My strength was very good. Not GREAT, but certainly as good as other preworkout blends. I was able to push around the expected weight.

Endurance/Energy: 7/10
Today for some reason it wasn't quite as good. My rest and nutrition were fine, but after my first 6 supersets (which I always do) I was dragging a bit already. My strength was retained throughout the workout, but I never felt "jacked" or "energized" to lift. Overall, decent.

MISC
-----
-Overall, this product is very competitive with other preworkout mixes. It was unfortunate that the ratings couldn't be a bit higher, because with a HUGE ingredient profile like it has you would expect more. However, like I said it is still very comparable to other supplements in its class.
-If you are looking for strength or pumps, this can do the trick. If you're looking for endurance and energy (or care about taste) you may want to look elsewhere.
-I appreciate MT giving out these samples at the Arnold! I will also be giving the naNOx9 samples a try, but not really a need for a log on that as it has been out for some time.

nice reviews i cant wait to try it ...it seems to work good

[SteelyD]

Thanks for the reviews.

For the benefit of myself and others who might be overwhelmed by the sheer amout of supplements out there, could someone explain exactly what NaNO Vapor and similar supplements will do for me? Why would I want to use this or a similar type supplement?

You may assume that I practice a clean diet and a proper and structured weight training regimen.

Thank you very much for the info.

These preworkout "cocktails" are used 30-60min before lifting, and help increase strength, endurance, energy, focus, fatloss, and/or pumps. They usually contain creatine, arginine, caffeine and a random assortment of other ingredients. NaNO Vapor happens to contain what I believe to be the largest number of ingredients for a single product.

Most supplements I have to take a double-triple amount of regular dosage for any effect. I had been using Vyo-Tech Nitrobolic Extreme for a while, and it wasn't doing anything more for me unless I used 4 dosings. The first day I used Nano Vapor, I was in love. I have been on it for almost 3 weeks now, and workout twice a day 4-5 days a week. I take a serving before cardio in the morning and a serving before weights in the afternoon. I take it about 10 minutes before I get there and can for sure tell it's taking effect. I also have Creakic and Leukic in my stack, as well as Nitro-tech hardcore. I would strongly recommend everything.........

Ooh la la. I feel honored to have a shill on my thread. First post too!

well im not much of a runner, and i before i got this i was on the elyptical, ran a mile in about 10 mins. the day i got it, kinda got a little sick on an empty stomach, but managed to run a mile in 6:47 seconds with out getting winded very much. IDK if it's this supp or not, but i haven't ever ran a mile in that, but i had pretty good endurance.

[MKBrandao4]

Hmmm NaNo Vapor i had good reviews and bad reviews, but i keep telling my customer peoples back react to different supplements. So far i think the best or my opinion would have to be superpump or NO2 Black. Nano vapor would probably be up there. The only thing I didn't like about the nano vapor was there warning signs especially the one that said " If this container is opened for more then 5 minutes nano vapor particles will be released" I thought that was bs, but im glad your posting up a really good review.

[Starz]

i posted this in another naNO Vapor thread yesterday:

i had the worst experience with naNO Vapor today while running. my squadron does this wannabe HIIT thing where you sprint for 1/4 mile, walk 1/4 mile, repeat for 2 miles. well, i took a scoop of naNO like 15 minutes before i ran, and about half way through the first 1/4 mile (meaning only 1/8th mile of sprinting), my energy got completely depleted and i got insanely dizzy. i mean whenever i closed my eyes, it felt like i was a really fast merry go round. then i about threw up my intestines and almost passed out. it was seriously the worst 30 minutes of my life. i really thought i was gonna die lol.

im never going to take this stuff while running. i've never had effects like this while working out. i've gotten dizzy after working out, but never during. and never again will i experience anything during running because im never running while on this stuff again lmfao.

maybe it was just bad luck or something. but im too scared to ever use naNO while running again.

[DJ232]

Cardio with these supplements, such as Nano vapour and no-xplode, that give you pumps is an extremely bad idea. They cause blood to want to stay in the muscle to create those pumps. This causes blood not to circulate as well and your cardio-respiratory system to be weakend quite a bit. This can cause dizzyness, nausea and fatigue. So that was probably what caused that unpleasent experiance.

[Ryan314]

Triplewhammy, have you tried any other NO products besides Nano Vapor? If so, how do they compare to it?

[gdogg75]

very nice review... i agree with you on the taste... that "aspirin" taste can be pretty intense- i always have to mix mine continuously- esp. the orange haze flavor

[MarkB24]

does anyone else feel mad tired after u use nano vapor and finish workin out

[triplewhammy]

Well I will say that NaNO vapor is a great preworkout mix and will definitely get you jacked and ready to go. If I could afford it, it would be a great product to cycle in and out of. However, as with many MT products, it is very cost-prohibitive.

I also like HorsePower, Satur8-Rush, and Green Bulge. In reality though, I see NO products as a final touch to a stack -- certainly not something as foundational as a creatine product (which I realize Vapor also is). I think any alternative combination of a creatine blend and a stimulant will give you virtually the same effects -- despite the mind-bogglingly large list of Vapor ingredients.

Here is my review of NANO VAPOR:

http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/muscl...porreview.html

I used it again today and I have to say I loved it. I did a biceps workout and got a fantastic pump. I expected a good workout, but it was a great workout and I would say that was basically all attributed to using nano vapor. I am going to use it for my next two workouts and see how that goes and include updates at the link above.

[triplewhammy]

I got more nano vapor samples from the arnold this year. i was like "eh i've taken this before, I can start off with the whole pouch"

after my workout i proceeded to yak my entire pwo-shake LOL
