Ceretropic Review (Noopept and L-Theanine/Caffeine)

So have yet to see someone post a review of Ceretropic here on r/nootropics so I thought I would type up my positive experience with them.
Shipping: I placed my order on the 7th of September for a dropper of Noopept and one of the L-theanine/Caffeine combo. After 2 days it was marked in transit. There were a couple issues with my order taking a longer time then expected to get to me. However this wasn't an issue because of the quick response from the owners. /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb quickly responded to all my questions about the order and why it was taking so long (Canadian border held on it for an extended time). I got my products on the 23rd. Both vials were intact and very well padded.
Just a side note, Ceretropic's shipping label clearly stated what each vial contained. However the label that Canadian customs placed on only stated "vitamin products". Found that a little interesting.

The L-theanine/caffeine has some interesting looking crystal shards in it (http://imgur.com/3wIl5Mz) so make sure you shake it well. I'm used to taking l-theanine/caffeine at a 2:1 ratio, so I was interested to see how different the 1:1 ratio would be. I felt it…

Awesome! I am glad you like them.
I must just be weird, because I actually like the taste of the noopept. Everyone, including Jason, says that it is not pleasant. I never minded powdered noopept under my tongue, though.
The issue with the caffeine/L-theanine is really the theanine. It likes to come out of suspension if you heat it up and cool it again, which happens in the mail to some areas. So doing a 2:1 ratio will mean that we have to go with larger vials and lower dosages. Some of the molecules play nicely in solution, where others are a bit more finicky.
Our new tianeptine solutes perfectly, just like the noopept. However, the vincamine and phenylpiracetam need to be shaken well before use, just like the coluracetam does. The adrafinil is being the most stubborn. We may have to offer that one in jars, as it does not may to play nice with any solvents that we use.
