I am taking WB pre workout and before bed, I am also using PW, I have thought about adding caffeine to my pre workout dosage of PW. MY understanding is caffeine is a vasoconstrictor and WB is a vasodialator(?) so if I took WB pre WO woudlnt the caffeine cancel out the WB or vice versa?

Before this stack I was using Labrada Super Charge and it had NO2, creatine and caffeine and I personally did not have a problem with it. But, to be on the safe side take the caffeine 2 hrs before the NO2 and then work them closer togethor depending on your level of tolerance.Do or do not. There is no try!

white blood is a nitric oxide product, it works somewhat on vasoconstriction by dialiating the blood veins. caffeine shrinks them. the two are opposites.

True but it provided one hell of a rush. About 15 min. after taking I could feel my body temp. rising and the jolt of energy kick in.Do or do not. There is no try!

Good questions
Caffeine appears to be both a vasoconstrictor AND vasodilator... meaning that it relaxes peripheral blood vessels and constricts brain blood vessels. Simply put, my main concern would be headaches.
Originally posted by Patrick ArnoldAfter giving this some thought I tend to think now that taking these adrenergic related stimulants might be complimentary to NO products, not antagonistic
My understanding of these adrenergic agents - which basically are products which mimic the effects of adrenaline - is to decrease blood flow to the internal organs and increase blood flow to the extemities. this is to provide muscle energy for the "fight or flight syndrome"
yes, these agents are vasoconstrictive and they raise blood pressure. However, I am pretty sure (thought not completely) that this vasoconstriction occurs in the central part of the body primarily, and this is to shut the blood flow off to the digestive system and vital organs so that it is redirected to the muscles. I don't believe the vasoconstriction happens so much in the muscles - it wouldn't make sense
So the combination of blood flow redirected to the muscles, and a NO maximizer to increase the pump response, should work well
