Vice and Vibes, carried by the reputable retailer Nutri Cartel, re-emerged last year with the launch of its stimulant-backed pre-workout Smack, and it packs enough ingredients to indeed smack, including VincaMIND vincamine, alpha yohimbine, halostachine, EriaPuro eria jarensis, and a hard-hitting level of caffeine. We haven’t heard much from the brand since the rollout of Smack V2, until this month, where we’ve been treated to two completely new supplements, including a revamped version of Speed.
Speed is Vice and Vibes’ potent capsule-format nootropic product, basically stacked full of stimulants for intense energy and mental focus, and even though it’s in capsules, it does indeed have plenty of space for quality dosages at six capsules a serving. There are a lot of stimulants in the supplement for the kind of energizing experience you’d expect from something named Speed, although there is equally as much for mental focus, cognition, and clarity, making it quite a high-powered nootropic.
We’ve got the combination of ingredients behind Vice and Vibes’ Speed V2 in the facts panel above, and despite it centering around two effects in energy and focus, it is loaded. The list of highlights in the supplement, includes VincaMIND vincamine, similar to Smack V2, in fact, many of the components in Speed V2 are from the brand’s pre-workout. Some of the other familiar features are huperzine a, alpha yohimbine at an identical 1.5mg, halostachine, EriaPuro eria jarensis, and two sources of caffeine.
The caffeine anhydrous and Infinity di-caffeine malate in Vice and Vibes’ Speed V2 combine for a total of 311mg per serving, a pinch more than Smack V2, but there are plenty of other ingredients that separate the high-powered nootropic and pre-workout. The brand has also thrown in the premium and proven Sabroxy at half a gram for improved memory, learning, and cognition, 250mg of citicoline, 300mg of rhodiola, 400mg of ThinFen beta phenylethylamine, and 300mg of bacopa.
As mentioned, and as you can see, Speed V2 is an intense nootropic, something that Vice and Vibes has reinforced in the second iteration. The 2023 pre-workout Smack V2 really set the tone for the brand and gave us an expectation moving forward that it’d be all about reliable and effective ingredients and dosages. Speed V2 is all about that, and it’ll be available shortly through Nutri Cartel’s online store for what looks to be the same or slightly more than Smack, which hands around the $50 mark.
