    Ice Cold Cherry Jolt is my favourite, though you can only really get it on Day 1 of an I-Series as its then either sold out or warm!

    Guava Monster is ace, but i am a big fan of Relentless, it saw me through my 4th year of uni! You can also get Relentless on Draught in certain Weatherspoons, which is just plain dangerous!

    Pssh. I've had 5 Relentless in an hour before, I think I've gone so far that I'm almost completely desensitized.

    Anyway, I've never even heard of any of those bar Relentless, and never seen any in shops either.
    And you should have included Red Bull just to conclude that is the original and best ;)
    + Some budget ones, Morrisons Energy Source just tastes like watered down Red Bull, but it's 25p a can :D

    Oh, and Lucozade Boost tastes like cack, it's just fizzy water with no noticeable caffeine effect, small, and overpriced (like Mana Potion type).

    I recommend Monster Khaos. It tastes like caffeinated Sunny Delight.

    Definitely gotta include red bull in the next one, I remember working in a bar and finishing off every can from every vodka red bull think it was about 15 or 16 cans in the space of 3 hours.. damn I was bouncing off the walls for 10 hours then had a MASSIVE caffeine comedown. ill never do that again so respect to you guys lol!

    I enjoy MONSTER and BAWLS (original and g33k b33r, in glass bottles) while studying. I think NOS is okay, but I think the new bottles are a bit over-the-top.

    Great....

    Nice to see that the exact same article is also listed in the copy of Custom PC that landed on my doorstep this morning.

    First the L4D article that was "cloned"/"updated" (depending who is ask), and now you are just again "cloning" stuff for Custom PC again. (or vice versa).

    Looks like im gunna have to just unsubscribe from Custom PC, looks like i can get the majority of the same content on bit-tech, than i can in their magazine. Or should that be "i should stop reading bit-tech, as its all in Custom PC")


    Interestingly... if CustomPC had the time to get it published, shipped off to the printers and delivered etc.. just how long has Bit-tech been sitting on this article in order to not obviously dupe the customPC article ?

    ...typical dennis publishing :(

    Is there any advantage to mixing these? I know someone who swears there's nothing like a shot of Monster/Bawls in their Relentless/*****.

    Yup.

    Ideally a Aerobie Aeropress or a Handpresso

    I've got both, the Handpresso is the more expensive and the one I use least, but it's best where you can't carry fresh coffee around. Other than that, the Aeropress is fantastic.

    Hmm, I thought Red Bull would be the starting point for any energy drink roundup.
    My picks are:
    Red Bull
    Rockstar (in the various flavours)
    Samedi
    Mother (made by the Coke Colla company here in Australia, tastes awesome)

    this is one of the many reasons i love bit tech. I have never actually had any enegy drinks before (not even red bull). I mean, i have had a sip of V before, but it tastes like sugar. apparently mother is pretty nice too.

    My fave is Amp, and of the small shot style ones, 5 Hour Energy, or Kickers 80 Hour (ridiculous claim in the name). Rip It used to be sold at my high school, but the extreme jitteriness it caused in everyone who drank it caused them to pull it.. Definitely try Amp though, it's made by Mountain Dew, but it tastes better IMO, and instantly wakes me up. I only drink 5 Hour Energy when I need to pull an all-nighter or something.

    Monster is gross, same with Red Bull.

    How about trying other caffeinated products? Mints, gum, soap, etc.
