How does Jak3d compare to pure DMAA?

I hope this is the appropriate place, as this is a supplement.

So, besides the obvious being price, how does pure DMAA prove its self compared to using the Jak3d price supplement?
 
The thing about a lot of branded pre-workout supplements is that they have "proprietary blends" and don't release the actual sizes of their ingredients on the labels. True, people pretty much settle on amounts and post this online, but the products are always being redeveloped and it's just a hassle to keep up with it. What I'm hinting at is that if you do use pure DMAA, start low and work your way up just to be safe.

Pure DMAA will feel like a pretty good stimulant the first few times you take it. I think it feels "smoother" than any of the branded pre-workouts, including jack3d. You'll have energy and focus and all that other stuff that's written on the advertisements. The problem, though, is that tolerance grows and you need to keep taking more and more of the supplement to get the desired effect. Not only can this become cost-prohibitive, it can also unleash some of the negative side-effects of DMAA - some bodybuilding-specific, and some stimulant-specific (such as not being able to sleep, annoying comedowns, etc). It is also psychologically addictive, and some people who take it for a string of workouts feel like their first workouts without the stimulants are sub-par. Price will be cheaper buying it wholesale, and you don't have to also dose the exorbitant amount of caffeine that's typically always paired with DMAA in the store brands.

As always, just keep it around as another tool in your arsenal of plateau-breakers. I have it in there alongside headphones blasting thrash metal, a spotter who knows my lifts well and I trust to let me safely push my limits, some strength-training workouts designed to push through a plateau, and so on. Things just will start getting kinda weird if you use DMAA too often.
 
This is all stuff that I figured.. So I guess it was kind of a dumb question :\

At any rate..Thanks for the help.:)
 
I find DMAA in pure form to be much cleaner compared to pre-workouts that contain DMAA I would think due to the as said most often unknown amount caffeine which brings along some of the dirtieness or jiteriness you might feel. You do build a tolerance and I find higher dose the side effects usually outweigh the high, if any felt at all.

Theres been no studies that deffintly pin-point whether DMAA is noradrenergic but I think DMAA could have slight dopaminergic properties, maybe slight reuptake inhibition in addition to the possible NA release/reuptake. Again, most people who do reports using DMAA in isolation are often, no discrimination just an observation, are ones who have used/use uppers and therefore could already have a pre-exisiting tolerance.
 
I never thought about using DMAA for pre/work outs. It is smooth and a lot less cardiac stress involved with that one.
 
DMAA is shit, get ephedrine if you need energy before your workout
 
DMAA is nice but you have to dose it low. To high just increases the sides.

And compared to ephedrine... well for me anyway tolerance to it's stimulant and appetite suppression effects develops rather quickly compared to DMAA
