I'm not sure whether Quake was discontinued due to the clumping issues, the taste, or the 1,3D, but whatever the reason, Novem is the replacement. Unfortunately, it's not a very good replacement. For some reason, this product never fails to make me tired, despite the 187 mg of caffeine per two-scoop serving, the beta alanine, creatine and tyrosine. I just came off of a long stim break, and other stims are fine, this just makes me feel incredibly tired, with no boost of energy, focus, etc. The taste is passable but not really pleasant, typical fruit punch flavor. A lot of skin-tingling, but oddly no endurance improvement from the BA. Pumps seem to be present, but after using this I generally feel like taking a nap or reaching for a different pre-workout.
