Infinit Napalm

I got my 1st bag of Infinit napalm, and am confused on how to mix it.  While the instructions are simple (fill gel flask to the top and add water) I'm still confused.  On my first try I filled the flask to the 5 serving line and added water to fill the flask, and ended up with 1/2 flask of a very liquid solution.  I then added Napalm powder until it filled the flask, and have a thicker mix, but taste is VERY strong and VERY salty, to the point of being inedible (to me).  

What did I do wrong?  Should I actually fill the flask to the very top with powder?  How do you add water after that?

Fill the flask to the top with Napalm, then slowly add water (mixing in between additions) until the total volume is at the spot where the Napalm started.

 Thanks George - that's much better.  It's a very think mix.  I guess I was expecting something closer to gel consistency...

I tried it. Waaay too sweet for me, and that's saying something.

x2 on what George said. And I make mine the night before and leave it in the refrigerator. By the next morning it's just a clear liquid. It's nothing like the thick consistency of gu, and that's why I like it.

I am thinking I will pass now.... 1 liter of Hammer is just too easy.

Is it better than gel in some way?

 I'm not sure if it's better or worse, just different.  I'm going to start trying Inifinit right after IMLP.  I've been using Hammer gels & HEED and they ain't working for me any longer for anything longer than 4 hours.  I'm not exactly sure what the problem may be yet (too little fuel?  to little water? ) but I'm determined to sort it out. I'm going to use the Hammer fuels through IMLP, supplementing with some solid food (which I used on my last RR) and see what happens.  If' I'm puking on the side of the road in Wilmington on the 2nd loop, then we'll know that it's still not working.

If you are familiar with Hammer, consider Sustained Energy or Perpetium. They are designed for workouts longer than than two hours. HEED is not the right product for a 4 hour workout according to their sales information. I have been using SE for several months and like it. I put two servings in a single bottle and use it for 4 hours. The taste and consistency remind me of pancake batter, which I actually like. When that get boring, I squirt in a gel to flavor it. That equals 150 calories per hour, plus augment gels when needed. All that being said, I may try and move to Perform, since it offered on IM Courses... YMMV.

Infinit had a booth at the IMLP expo. I spoke with Mike a bit and tried a few sips of Napalm. I also felt it was quite sweet. Mike said to use less Napalm Mix in the flask to dial down the sweetness, but you will need to keep in mind the that you will also be lowering the amount of calories/sodium etc in the flask.

Tried it during a run and it brought me to my knees! It was not good.
