NO-Explode VS VPX Shotgun

[VVSKing]

speak on it....Been using shotgun for a few months, love it...but no explode was on sale so got some....feelings thoughts vs the 2 especially if you have used both...

[Srm1135]

Xplode has always given great pumps but I am not a fan of the caffeine, gives me the shakes sometimes

[KmuL]

shotgun is 1000x better imo.....just ordered some white flood though cause I've heard a lot of good things

[Sgt T-Man]

Shotgun> NO Xplode.

the old version of N.O xplode were amazing, not as good anymore.

i am currently on my first tub of shotgun and it is much better.

agreed, xplode gave me the ****s, shotgun by a longshot imo

n.o explode in my opinion is the best nitric oxide product on the market, ive tried nano vapor, superpump 250, black powder, no shotgun, and that is just to name a few.. and no nitric oxide product gave me the pump, energy, concentration and motivation that n.o explode gave me

something must be wrong with u, no xplode is some creatine and a bunch of caffeine, hardly anything more, it doesnt make any sense really what u just said

[CKY1]

I've done two cycles of NO Xplode and was very satisfied with the results. I probably experienced a 10-15% increase in all my lifting exercises. Recently, however, I've been using Cellucor M-5. It doesn't have the caffeine content that NO Xplode has so you won't get that initial boost, but I think M-5 has better results overall (less fillers). That said, the best results I experienced from a creatine product was Cell-Tech, but I had to stop using it because it's very sugary and makes me hold water

[HSP10]

NO Shotgun is absolutely brilliant, while NO-Xplode is its polar opposite.

[VVSKing]

Did a scoop and half last night could not fall asleep....am I able to return to GNC after its been opened with recite?

[antgroe]

I just got no xplode today and tried it, it gave me a lot of energy at the gym but a little bit afterwards i felt bloated when i went swimming. Today is my first time trying it so I have no real opinion but i'm sure most of these other guys can tell you.

[VVSKing]

Yea def don't use if you are going to sleep withing 2-3 hours...give at least 4...stuff helps me concentrate but doesnt open veins like shotgun...

[itlnsurfer]

I have used both of these products and in my opinion VPX SHOTGUN is much better.

N.O Explode-I really liked this product for a long time. It gave me great energy and i felt pretty strong in the gym but i crashed pretty hard off of tthis stuff. Also built up a pretty good tolerance to it so i cycled off for a while and went back on

SHOTGUN-I LOVE THIS PRODUCT, not only did i feel the energy like i got with no explode i got a great pump and my strength increase was really noticable when i took the shotgun. I havent built up the same tolerance to this yet like i did with the no explode.

Not a very detailed explanation but i think i got the point across

[stealth_swimmer]

NO Shotgun blows NO-Xplode out of the water IMO.

yes. way better formula.

[Greenfield]

I started out with NO-Xplode (old formula) and loved it, had good results with it. They then made the 'new formula' and I found it didnt have the same 'pop' to it anymore.

I then started using NO-Shotgun and found it gave me a lot more energy and a much better pump, this also gave me good results.

I then switched to White flood and the stuff is almost too much. I take 1 - 1 1/2 scoops and I am wired, the stuff is really good.

In my opinion it would go:

1. white flood
2. NO - Shotgun
3. NO-Xplode

[NKrause08]

Shotgun tastes like crap to me, also i have used NO Xplode for many of my cycles and have had no problems. Good Product!!!

[richd613]

For me...NO Xplode better pump and better taste(fruit punch flavors in both), Shotgun better energy by far. Depends what's more important to you.
Good luck.

shotgun tastes like crap to anyone..but the stuff works. ive been using it for about 4-5 weeks now and i have to say its amazing. strenght, vascularity, endurance..all through the roof. ive tried no-explode once..and didnt feel much off it

[hereonearth]

I have only used No-xplode about 4-5 times, and damn it every single time I crash pretty badly. It really brings you down. I'm looking for something with the same effect but no caffeine.

[rgabald5]

No xplode- like other people have said, its just a bunch of caffeine. I liked to use it when i kinda didn't feel like working out. Once you take it you need to do something cause you're all wired! Ok pumps, best tasting.

No shotgun- don't get that hyped up feeling, works pretty well on pumps. Stopped taking it cause the taste was just horrible. Yes you can rag on me if you want and tell me to just take it but i just couldn't stand burping up the taste of that thing anymore during my workouts.

Superpump- average product, nothing special here. Only notable thing is that it constantly gave me the ****s.

White flood- never tried it, but also heard good things about it.

Water- yes water, i read an article on Men's Health recently but not sure on the exact numbers in there. Basically, they had guys drink about 24-34 ounces of water like 45mins-1hr before their workouts and they actually were able to lift more than when they didnt drink it before their workouts. I tried it and it worked. I now do this sometimes and i get good pumps, plenty of strength, and get great workouts off of just water.

If you think about it, shotgun gives really good pumps and it is the one if i remember correctly that requires you to drink the most amount of water. hmmmm... something to think about. The only one i still use is the no-xplode for those days i feel lazy but with more water. Hope this helps.

[rgabald5]

Forgot to say, off the topic but no-xplode does help you concentrate, take some and play a video game like Call of Duty 4 and you'll do better than you usually do, trust me. I play while im waiting the 45 mins before i workout after taking the stuff.

[morphine13]

You should have included animal pump in this as well !!

[projectpat06]

the new shotgun tastes amazing, i love drinking it...way better

[jesusmoreno]

I haven't tried VPX Shotgun but I'm using NO-Xplode and it's working pretty good my veins are starting to stick out nicely, but this orange flavor tastes pretty crappy I wouldn't recommend it.

[Nick1021]

I took a whole tub of N.O Explode. For the first few days it was GREAT! Absoultly great, i raved about it to all my friends. Then after id say 6-7 times of taking it..it wouldnt do much for me.

Now I take N.O Shotgun. And I think N.O Explode is better. Shotgun, i was told is for the more serious lifter. But I feel like I can do more, and lift more with the N.O Shotgun, But I've only taken N.O Shotgun 4 times..minimal results.

My friend got Black Powder today, so ill see how that **** is!!

[replay_kendo]

Is it ok to use Shotgun only on work-out days?

I would also like to know this as this is only my 2nd time (Being today) taking it for my workouts. I previously used white flood which I thought was great for energy and focus, but not much of a pump IMO.

[bring_the_mosh]

just bought my first tub of Shotgun the other day.. did Explode last year, did Animal Pump the beginning of this year.. my question though, is how the hell do i figure out this equation of eating and consuming Shotgun before i workout? i need to eat my pre-workout meal (50g protein shake, 2 slices of Ezekiel bread) before i workout, but i have also read that Shotgun is best on an empty stomach. i workout in the morning, so its not like i can eat a meal then hangout for an hour before consuming Shotgun.. which scenario is better:

8:00 - get up, consume Shotgun
8:30 - PWO shake and bread
9:00 - gym

OR

8:00 - get up, PWO shake and bread
8:40 - consume Shotgun
9:00 - gym

??

Go with the second one, Shotgun hits you in 25-30 for me, so by the time you get to the gym and change, you'll be right on queue.

I have personally used both. NO-Xplode gave me intense energy because of the caffeine, but I crashed hard after it. Shotgun on the other hand gives the energy and focus you need to get that huge pump in the gym, helps you get the huge pump, and it tapers off without any side effects.

If I had to rate it:

BSN NO-Xplode: 7/10
VPX NO-Shotgun: 10/10

Hope that helps any people wondering which to get.
