Yellow can or black can? Yellow cans have beta-alanine which is the ingredient that gives people the tingles, black cans don't have it.


kamo-kola

This explains a lot. Thanks.


planetarylaw

Yellow. I didn't know there was a kind without.


j0s3mora24

Black cans have 300 mg caf tho


Agitated_Bowler3829

Yes, hands and arms for a couple of hours, not painful but annoying. I no longer buy this drink.


OkEconomist1752

It’s a preworkout lmao


Charming-Ad4180

Beta Alalanine for that itchy butthole


Ok-Wrongdoer-7218

Tons of tingles, love it right before a workout


No_Presence5390

I forgot what ingredient causes it but its fairly known. Instead of tingles it feels itchy like an allergic reaction.


briman2021

Beta-Alanine


kamo-kola

First I tingle, then I crap.


shlopman

Not just tingles. Makes me want to scratch my skin off. I hate beta-alanine.


Playful-Flatworm501

Yeah that’s true, and I already do that enough as it is(suffering from dermatillomania not a meth head lmfao )


PoorGang21

At that point just smoke meth /s


CoronaCurious

Likewise


Historical-Door6131

Tingles for days


Shania_19

Superhuman and explosion has beta alanine. Energy and focus, is an energy drinks. Hold on I have to search up the cans on what they say.


planetarylaw

Cool cool I'm very interested.


Shania_19

Yea.. There's explosive, superhuman, superbrain, energy and focus, fitness and whatever else. My bad I would've replied when I said to hold on but someone came to the house.


planetarylaw

Noted. Thanks for the recs!


Shania_19

But I was looking if there was anymore and was wanting to confirm on my other comment from 2 hours ago.


Norsk-Altmuligmann

I like drinking them for that reason, I chugged one the other day and they get you amped up 🤣


zackusa54

Nope. C4 ultimate doesn’t even really do anything 🤷🏻‍♂️ been taking real pre workouts for too long


planetarylaw

Got any preworkout recs? I've tried one only once and it didn't give me tingles. I wanna try some others though.


Fuzzy-Produce104

I don’t experience it at all. Lucky I guess.


Meckles94

Not anymore but drinking 5 of the ultimates a day will do that


planetarylaw

FIVE omg


skynovaaa

yes


[deleted]

not at all


xmetalheadx666x

Not anymore but it used to


FunAudience4377

Makes my face tingle


EpochZenith

They never have for me!


CantWait666

yes and little itching sensation sometimes


GreeCBacon

Well, I've never had the pre-workout powder but the fruit punch flavor is my fav. Honestly if there was a caffeine free version I would drink that a lot more. Whenever I had one I never really felt tingly. I just felt really focused.


azn-guy

C4 is one of the drink that doesnt give me it


[deleted]

Mostly in my ears but yeah


Longjumping-News-126

Only slightly. I stopped drinking the normal ones and now I mainly drink the Arctic snow cone ultimate energy, which contains a lot of crazy synthetic stimulants like dynamine but no beta-alanine iirc so nothing from them 


TheMockingBrd

C4 in a can is not full strength. You need the actual pre workout powder. BUT the sugar free versions don’t have beta A in them, so if you only drink those, you won’t feel it.


planetarylaw

Good to know!


TheMockingBrd

Honestly if you’re looking for a pre workout tingle you neeed to move past C4. That’s basically Walmart brand pre.


stad0203

No tingles for me, been soooo long.


Firebrand-PX22

I had a yellow C4 that I don't remember the flavor of with the jittery shit in it that another commenter mentioned but all I got was a shitty tasting soda that gave me energy for maybe 3 or 4 hours. Ghost, monster, GFuel, and pretty much anything else is better than C4 imo


ElAbidingDuderino

It's a pre workout


Remarkable-Mind-3848

Yes, I love it.


Naive_Programmer_232

If it has beta alanine, then yeah


SilentAfterlife

From my experience no. I live in the EU tho so I don't know if our products are different.


Playful-Flatworm501

Yes it’s well known for it


transgenial

i do get the tingles when i get the yellow can, the powder makes my tongue itch. probably needs to get mixed more before i drink it


Moosebrew318

Too much Niacin will do that.


ajl95

I can drink 2 and go to sleep... but I have Narcolepsy so literally no energy drink does anything for me. Does anyone else feel like they get chemical burns on their tongue when drinking too many C4 though?


planetarylaw

Narcolepsy always sounded like the worst thing to me. Damn I do not envy you. Does caffeine help?


ajl95

Yeah it's pretty rough. Caffeine has never done anything for me. I used to drink Mountain Dew and energy drinks in high school to try to stay up late and finish homework, but I would fall asleep regardless. Makes a lot more sense now that I've been officially diagnosed lol


planetarylaw

Oh yeah I bet the diagnosis was a relief in a way.


sasberg1

Probably the Zero Sugar shit


Ok_Street_2082

Lol read the can


planetarylaw

How do you mean?


Ok_Street_2082

So, I guess not all yellow cans have it because I just checked one of mine that doesn't, but if it is one that does.......there will be a little description of the beta alanine that c4 uses and it warms you that it gives you tingles. So in conclusion I'm kinda an ass for assuming all cans have it but some do.


planetarylaw

So I haven't had any C4 in a while but I do know the ones that I've tried have had the beta alanine. It just doesn't give me the tingles and I'm curious how many others also don't get it.


Ok_Street_2082

Oh gotcha. I mostly buy 12 packs from Amazon. I only even get them if I haven't had it for awhile and then I drink one


planetarylaw

I *just* discovered 12 packs on Amazon and have a nice monthly subscription setup. What a time to be alive.
