    Keifer did a tubecast on caffeine and nicotine on CN.  He does go over dosage but did not mention when to take this?  Would you take it just BEFORE your PWO shake…in the morning, afternoon?  Just looking for timing of this on CN. Thanks 🙂

    This is also a very interesting article about the effect of nicotine and caffeine:http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/77/6/1442.full

    Interesting, consuming nicotine caps off after 1mg. Adding caffeine boosts the thermogenic effects greater than if you just increased the dosage of the nicotine to 2mg. Having 2mg worth of nicotine has the same effects as 1mg; plus you get adverse side effects that are uncomfortable; having 1mg worth doesn't have side effects.Same thing with caffeine, more than 100mg doesn't affect the insulin as much as simply consuming 100mg but through daily usage it builds a tolerance. So it's recommended to drink coffee or tea sparingly. If you drink coffee daily, fix your sleeping habits 🙂I bought the 2mg kinds, but I cut them in half, plus there's more to spare for weeks to come 🙂Plus I think once or twice a week is optimal so you don't develop a tolerance.

    What I am trying to find out and cant seem to find is the timing.  Keifer said on his tubecast it should be taken on the actual Carb Nite but not specify when.  If it gives you energy then would that not effect sleep?  Could you take it in the A.M. of your CN day and have the same benefits?

    If you train that day you can have it in the morning of your CN. Yes.

    I am very sensitive to any stimulants?  Would 1 mg be a good place to start?  Less?  I was reading on Keifer's post about possible side effects

    I would assume .5mg to 1mg is a great place to start
