I smoked for about a year and half straight, everyday, at least once a day (maybe a couple days off here and there). I stopped for exactly 30 days, took a pisser for Verizon, and failed - lost a pretty awesome job, too. Because I had already taken the test and had assumed 30 days of drinking water/cranberry juice/alcohol nonstop would've been enough to cleanse my system, I started smoking again on a roadtrip my roommate and i went on to celebrate our great new jobs. I smoked for about 5 days and got the call saying I failed. Awesome...

So a week later, I get an offer from another job and they do local whiz quizzes on-site. I took Strip NC as directed (as it has worked for me in the past) and failed miserably... three times! Waste of $50. Now, the major difference between when I passed and when I didn't is the time between smoking and taking the drug test with Strip. This time I only had about 48 hours of not smoking. The other two times that it actually worked, I had about 5-6 days of not smoking. Basically, it will not work if you're a regular smoker.

Luckily, this new employer was willing to bend the rules for me and told me to stop in next week and re-test. I'm going with synthetic... Quick Fix is the way to go is what I hear from my buddies (who are 4 for 4 with it) and it has also gotten some great reviews online.

Stay away from Strip NC if you can... it tastes like balls (i nearly threw up 3 times drinking it) and makes you feel like hell all day. It's also more expensive and - as I can attest now - doesn't always work.
