I know this thread is almost a year old, and I'm not bumping it to be a nuissance; I just considered this to be the (I guess) 'official' but unofficial BANG thread on here. Went through the first five recent pages on the supplements subforum CTRL+F trying to find a recent BANG post and didn't find any, so I'm bumping this thread. Hope that's alright. If not, sorry, I just wanted to rekindle the thread that's about my favorite energy drink!
After much searching, I finally got my hands on the new cotton candy and black cherry vanilla BANGs last week!!
When I found Sour Heads last year, I felt like I was among the first to try it; this year, with CC and BCV, I felt damn near last to try them both.
I was scared of the cotton candy flavor, but hyped for the black cherry vanilla. My fear of the cotton candy flavor was just a facade, though! To be honest, I like it more than the black cherry vanilla. It has a delicious, true-to-cotton candy flavor to it, and I just can't get enough of it. I went out to the store and bought the last four of them that they had. Not a big fan of its odd aftertaste, but the awesome flavor wins out. I love the black cherry vanilla, too, but it's softer and more subtle in flavor. I kinda wish it was a little stronger in that department. Perhaps the vanilla is what tones the black cherry note down? I'm not sure. I've only drank one can of the black cherry vanilla as opposed to the three cans of the cotton candy so far, so I'll have to try more of it.
VPX is nailing these flavors, though! Sour Heads, Cotton Candy and Black Cherry Vanilla are among my favorites! I still love lemon drop the most during the summer (so crisp and refreshing in extreme heat; I had to travel to Alabama a lot this past summer, and the heat felt almost unbearable), but CC and BCV will be personally competing with my Sour Heads consumption for the foreseeable future.
What do you guys think about the new flavors?
I still haven't tried the BANG Master Blaster pre-workout yet. Too addicted to and used to the BANG RTDs.

U wut m8.. I have bought a lot of VPX products over the years and the only product VPX to my knowledge has ever sold with AMP Cit was a very limited/short run of WHITE HEAT which was within weeks reformulated and the small amount of AMP Cit it did contain is no more on any version on the market currently. BANG has never had AMP Cit ( In the RTD form or the powder form ) and was at one point 375mg caffeine but for well over 1 year now its 300mg and is labeled as such.
Caffeine has addictive properties but AMP Cit to my knowledge does not
If it were to have used AMP Cit it would not even be available on bodybuilding.com either from my understanding bbcom will not stock 1,3 DMAA, AMP Cit nor DMHA.-- Microwaves everyday crew --

You guys tried the brand new peach mango BANG yet? Rob, I know you have! (Confirm it!) Another bump, but I think this should be the official Bang thread. Searched the first 10 pages of this subforum and didn't find anything about the new flavor.
Tastes insanely crisp and refreshing so far. Might overtake lemon drop as my favorite flavor of Bang during the summer.

It gets discussed in here, as do most things

I'm staying with Star Blast, love them...hardly ever drink though I end up only ever wanting that much caffeine pre workout at which point I prefer a dedicated pre product.

Finally got a chance to try the brand new Root Beer Blaze flavor... as a root beer fan, I'm super disappointed. After cracking open a can, the smell is on point. Upon first sip, the taste I get is 5% root beer followed by a dominant 95% chemically cream soda taste. They should have called this flavor "Cream Soda Sizzle" as it's stronger than the root beer flavor. Probably my least favorite right now, at least until I can try Citrus Twist and Purple Guava Pear.

They taste great, I buy a case or two at the Arnold Expo every year! -I tryyyyyy to keep low on the caffeine per serving such as when I have an energy drink or pre I try to stay below 200mg. But sometimes I'll pop a Bang out and I'll just go hnnnnngggg.

Yessir. Definitely give a shot. Who knows! You might think it's great. Interesting that Citrus Twist reminded you of Sprite; I've heard mixed reviews on it. The lemon drop (my favorite flavor to drink, ice cold, in the summer) has the Sprite vibe to me just because of its crispness. I'll definitely have to search around for a retailer featuring purple guava pear.

Btw, I got the bang for $20 a case. Heck of a deal. Best I've seen anywhere. Iso Amino was $15 a bottle, which was good too. The sour nukes is f'n delicious. Surprisingly not that sour. Flavored strong with a sweet hit and sour finish. Love the flavor.
Anyway, if you guys want banged, today is the last day. lmao.

All the new flavors were pretty lackluster.
I'd rate them:
1. Citrus
2. Purple Guava
3. Root Beer
4. Peach MangoTotal: 1578 | 633/378/633- meet bests | 645/385/660- gym bests
