different feeling with N.O. Explode...why?

ok, i've taken N.O. Explode in the past, about a year ago roughly, and the last time i took it i'd have to come down a little from the affects before i went lifting. I used to really get me "AAAAHHHHH" and pumped for lifting.
 
i just started to take it again on monday this week and it's different. I don't get that same "AAAHHH" feeling. I did some reading here and some people ahve said that you should stir it in the water since it's an effervesent (sp?) and that you should violently mix it...
 
well the last time i took it, i just put one scoop into the bottom of a tall glass and turned my faucet on full blast (not knoing that i should stir it, of course), but now i fill the glass and stir it. I don't get anything close to the same pumped feeling as i did last time.
 
so, today, just for sh1ts and giggles i went back to the old method of using the faucit to mix it and i got the same "AAAHHH" feeling again. I didn't have to "come down" off of it before i went lifting, but the pump and energy was the same.
 
why is the mixing process affecting the feeling i get after i take it?

I doubt it.
There are many variables with powders as to how much of what you are going to get.  If you are using a tub of powder, shake the tub before using, but take the scoop out first or it will get buried.
Sometimes what you have eaten that day can have an effect as well.
Stress and sleep and water intake all play roles too.  I wouldn't be too worried about it, just remember to shake before you take.

Shaking it rapidly is only going to speed up the reaction with water, increasing the chances for interaction between molecules. I really don't know why there would be a difference in how it makes you feel. Keep trying it though and see cause that would be interesting.

"AHHHHHH"  LOL!  Dude this ain't Hulk products lol :P

I went off NO Explode for a few months and just recently started back on it.  The first few days came with sh***y results until i realized that I was finishing up the old container I had started a few months prior. 

I quickly went to the shop and picked up a new jar and wallah!  Pumps just like I had before.

I think that due to age and the power packing itself in the jar that it tainted the mix.

Many times.. you get used to the caffeine content.  So it takes more to do the same effect.  Most NO products are just energy boosters anyway with just about everything tossed in so at one point, you feel it works.  And probably some part of it does (creatine, caffeine, taurine, naicin, etc).

After a while, you don't get the same feeling.

Give somebody who's never had a coffee.. they feel great.  After a few weeks.  It takes 2 cups.

when you say "Shaken" do you mean just violently mixed, or actually put in a shaker bottle and shaken with water? because i dont' use a mixer bottle, i just use a tall glass and fill it up quick...does that have the same affect as using a shaker bottle?

and yes...haha... i know it's not Hulk products, i just can't think of any appropriate words that accurately describe what i'm feeling when i'm on that stuff...

also, i know that your body builds a tollerance to caffine, but i don't drink coffee and i very rarely drink soda, so my body should have no tollerance to caffine. and it's been about 6-7 months since i've finished taking it last, so i shouldn't have a tollerance from that still...should I?
 
and this is a completely new jug, so i know it hasn't gone bad from being opened and sitting for a while.
 
also, i've been taking it by mixing it with my faucit for the last couple days and it's been the same thing; I get a boost in energy, no INSANE pumps (just regular ones), a little increase in strength (or energy, i can't really tell the difference), and an occasional head rush if i immediately jump off of the leg press machine after a set. Besides that, i'm feeling pretty calm and usual with this stuff....
 
any thoughts?

did u change your routine to sometihng that isnt as high of reps

try stiring the powder, you dont wanna shake the tub b/c theres so many different powders mixed in, being different sized granulate it can mix up uneven and all.

that may be the case, you are getting like all the creatine (or whatever) at the top while all the caffine and or NO is at the bottom.
