I am a heavy smoker, 6'0" 170 lbs. Started at 16 and have done it pretty much everyday. I'm now 24. Here's my story. Got hired for a contracting job for the government and was told to report to work a week after I got the call. That was a Monday and I already smoked that day. I immediately stopped that day and started drinking shit loads of water, cranberry juice and exercised everyday. Also, stopped eating fatty food (really didn't eat much at all honestly, probably because all I could think about was are they going to drug test). 6 days later (Sunday) I bought the strip NC pill and Grape 32 oz. That night I followed N2's dilution method and substituted with gatorade. Took the pill and drink in the morning then went to my first day of work and found out that I had a physical and drug test the following day (I know weird that they would hire me before giving me a UA). I went out and bought just the grape 32 oz this time with no pill. Again that night followed N2's dilution technique. Woke up at 7:00 a.m. for the UA. Downed the strip, drank more gatorade, took 4 aspirin and drank a 16 oz monster and 16 oz coffee. Pissed like 3 really good times before I got to the medical center (the last one being right before the UA). Got called into the UA lab at 9:45 and immediately took the piss test. Was hoping that it was a dipstick test but they sent it off to the lab. It is now 9 working days after and I can pretty much assume that I've passed because I still have a job and my physical has come back. I wanted to post this to give people hope. Yes, I may have spent a total of $120 on the two drinks and pill but it was definately worth it for the job. I will easily make the money up in 2 days of work so if your job really matters I would buy the drink, if anything for assurance.
