This is pretty good timing because I was meaning to make something relating to this. I have been using Jack3d for around i guess almost 2 years or something like that. At that time most of my friends only used NO Xplode, but then I got ahold of jack3d and thought it was the best thing ever. I went through a lot of tubs and have had every flavor except the most new one. I just this last week bought the Orange C4 extreme, went in not expecting much different, but I was a little surprised. So i'll compare them, at least C4 and Jack3d since they're more similar than to NOxplode IMO.
Pump: Tie
Honestly, I really didn't notice any difference when it came to this. They are very similar and I don't think many people could say one gave them a significant amount more.
Focus to Jitters: C4
Now this category is something everybody knows about and its your own preference really. But C4 definitely gives you a lot less of that jittery feeling, but I used to like that feeling. The beta-alanine really makes your skin tingle with both, but with jack3d its definitely more. Of course you know how much your getting when you take C4, opposed to jack3d where its a proprietary blend. Gonna give this to C4 because it is a little less jittery and gives you a little more of a controlled focus when you lift.
Strength: C4
Some people say stuff about C4 that they would use it for aerobic stuff like running or not for lifting huge weight, but thats not the vibe I got at all after 30 minutes and 2 scoops in me. I was just as pumped about lifting some serious weight as ever. Jack3d for sure does the same thing, gets you going and "jacked up" ready to go. I had a great workout just today using C4 and destroyed my chest day. Also the effect seemed to last longer than jack3d. So although I'm sure that I could get about the same initial results using either one, still gonna give it to C4 because I felt it lasted longer.
Taste: Tie
No problems with the taste with either one so far. Mixes well, both have a variety of flavors that go down easy
Rage: Jack3d
Made this category because to me theres just something about jack3d that gets you feeling a little more out of control than C4 lol, maybe just a placebo effect caused by the cool name, but still, as I said before C4 gives you a little more control it seems. As opposed to jack3d where I feel like OOC.
Overall, I may have to deviate from my norm and give C4 a little more time to test and see how it works in the long run. Still love jack3d, but with C4 you can tell how much of everything is in it, and gives you a little more control and a clean energy feel. Never had a problem with crashes with either, but C4's ingredients seem superior with added vitamins. I've never been a fan of NOxplode personally, felt bloated and with products out there with smaller servings and less of that, why not use them? Both worth a try, but I think C4 is headed in the right direction for pre workout sups and might just surprise people if they try it. Hope this was a good review, never really done one before, but its just my opinion so take it however you like.

Look at scivation novem. I wouldn't touch jack3d. I tried the new c4 and it's pretty solid. As far as NO explode.... I personally wouldn't buy anything from BSN. A lot of people like them, but I see them slightly better than muscletech. Just my personal opinion.
Really though, if you're not even 18 you may want to reconsider before you start getting hooked on pre workouts or stims. I'd recommend ultima but I haven't tried it yet, just ordered it from a sale.
If you've decided you want a supp I'd do bcaa's like xtend over a preworkout any day.

C4 is the best of those three, but is fairly mediocre. These supplements rely on stimulants, and then underdose the good stuff. I would throw 1MR in there as well. If you just want stims, I'd go for coffee and DMAA pills. If you want all the other good stuff (pumps, endurance, focus, etc), I would go with Fierce, SP Max, and White Flood.

I recently started taking jack3d, and I love it. My diet has literally no caffeine in it other than the supp, and it seems to work well. I take the only the recommended amount, but I've had a few sleepless nights when I take it within a few hours of sleep time. The more I read though, the more I'm leaning towards trying WF when this bottle is empty.

Everyone will react differently to everything... the one thing I will note is that some have isues with NO xplode is they have gastric issues due to the "carbonation" effect. But I did like NO Xplode when I used it. I haven't tried C4 or Jack3d yet.
