Pro :

- the stuff works - it really does seem to enhance the definition of my abs (I am already lean (8 % BF) so gauging local results are easy).
- dries quickly.
- good texture , easy to work with.

Cons :

- The fucking smell ! - I canīt use this during work hours (I was on vacation during my trial ) and this really limits the use of the product.
If it wasnīt for this I surely would use one bottle every 2 months, but now I might not buy it again. (or use it only in the evening).

What ingredient causes the smell ? Is it the Yohimbine ?

- Sprayer clogged up couple of times, nothing too bad though.

thanks for the feedback, I loved it myself. I just finished a bottle yesterday (more servings than expected).

smell never bothered me honestly, at times I actually liked it. It smelled like any other cream you would put on your body i.e. icy hot, bengay, etc.

thanks for the feed back though, do you have any pics?

To me, it mainly just smells like a mixture of Raspberry Ketones and the alcohols in the carrier.

Pro's: too many to list.
Con's: I actually have to pay for it before I can possess and apply liberally twice daily.

How does the smell compare to Lipoderm Ultra?
B5150
I would say equally pleasant.
Bachovas
Yes. I'd say equally flammable. But Napalm's gasoline smell seems to go quickly in my experience.
Colin
I strongly prefer the smell of Napalm over any past topicals;Lipoderm-Y,Skulpt and whatever else.

Napalm smells of raspberries with a slight chemical taint (if you sniff your skin ,up close) while everything else I've used has given off more of a chemical-esque odor when applied.

Regardless,the scent of most topicals cannot be detected while clothing is worn and as the efficacy of both Napalm and Lipoderm ULTRA is unquestionable making a faint odor a very tolerable side effect of localized fat loss IMHO.

No smell is worse than Dermacrine Sustain Alpha...

Thanks for the feedback man, but damn, you think the smell is bad enough to possibly never use it again?? Are you serious? You really think it's that bad?

Yes,I was surprised by that comment of Jon's as well.

Well daytime use is a no-no for me . After more use this week it is very obvious that the product works but the smell does not go away for a good 6 hours for me.

Another issue which became obvious this week was the drying action of the alcohols in the carrier - have you guys looked at a different carrier for localized action , maybe along the lines of the stuff used by Regrowth for their hair-loss product ? (different use , same principle, high local-low systemic effects).
Check out the thread by Colin in the neuroscience/health section.

However since itīs proven effective I may use it once per day in the evening after showering in the future .

BTW Is there any feedback on using it on a lean bulk to avoid fat gain ?

I've only seen one guy try this, he told me he had been cheating a good bit on the holidays, and napalm was sort of his damage control.
Results are still best in a caloric defecit.

Napalm smells of raspberries with a slight chemical taint

Chemical taint...I know there is some kind of female anatomy joke there, but it's early.

No, the two need different carriers because the hair growth stuff is intended to stay in the skin, while Napalm is intended to get past it.

Are you over-applying?? Are you rubbing it in really well?? Are you letting it dry completely before putting on clothes.

Most people can't smell it after like 30 minutes, with clothing on -- especially winter clothing.
D Sade
Agreed...my wife and I both use Napalm religiously and I can't even smell it once we get dressed.
Jon
I've been using "enhanced" Napalm again and I really like the smell. I've put it on and other people have asked what it is. Asking them what they think it is, they usually reply it smells like some type of muscle ache cream, but none have ever said the smell was bad. Maybe their just being nice to my face and talking shit afterwards though..lol
Kimbo
My girl asked if I was wearing Bengay a few times. I find that the smell lessens considerably if you allow it ample time to dry before putting on clothing - if you put clothing on too soon after application the smell tends to linger (I think it gets into your clothes).
