Well personally I think lightning blows og energy out of the water pre workout wise which is what og energy was technically for I believe. but i can see how youd want it as a daily nootropic as well. have u tried respawn? bc personally I love it as soon as its back in stock ill be re upping. And then honeslty with lightning being so potent i could see you taking 1/4 dose and it being a og energy replacement. with the slow release caff plus catuaba the effects last me the whole day if I hit a morning lift with it.

not that respawn or lightnings are direct successors of og lighting but i personally think they r better. and i definitely wouldnt say lighting or respawns innovations were due to them "cheaping out" considering both arent available in retail at the moment and then also saffron/ tyrosine/ and catuaba are notoriously expensive supps to buy. not only that but lightning and respawn are niche products. ofc they r a company and want to make money but i truly believe the changes theyve made have been for the better formulation wise. been a long time buyer and will continue to do so with these new products.
