Vault Energy Drink

Vault Energy Drink
Cost: $1.20 67.6 oz
Active ingredients: Caffeine
Rating: 5.5 out of 10

Ok this drink needs to be looked at more as a soda, where it would probably score reasonably well, a good alternative to Mountain Dew. As energy drink, which it is being advertised as, it just fails. I guess if you just want a ton of sugar and caffeine, buying a 2 liter of Surge (opps I am sorry I mean Vault, this is seriously the SAME drink as Surge), it isn't a bad buy. This drink has to much sugar for me, and doesn't offer anything all the special or not worthy, it might taste a little smoother than Mountain Dew, but they are basically the same kind of flavor. So if you are a Mountain Dew fan, you can give this a shot and see if you like it even better, if you really want the kick of an energy drink, this will fall short with no B vitamins and no Taurine. So I guess I am not that impressed, by the re release of Surge, but I can't complain to have a Mountain Dew at places that only serve Coke products. Yippie for Soda pretending to be an Energy Drink.

Agree 100%, vault SUCKS for energy, has an ok taste, and is nearly identical to surge. MDX is a much better "energy soda"

You might want to stick to reviewing just Energy Drinks. Vault is a CSD by trademark and composition. It only markets itself as an Energy Hybrid Soda, but it is a Soda, not an Energy drink. It is not meant to simiulate or pose as an energy drink - thus will not have the taste/feelings you expect from energy drinks.
As a Soda, its sole intent is to mimic the taste of Dew, but offer higher 'energy' content.

dont waste ur money kids

I have to agree with the rest of the posters. Vault has a decent taste, but it is seriously lacking in the energy kick department.

Posted by: Greg at June 3, 2006 08:15 PM

U all have no idea wut u are talking about vault pumps the energy right into me...lay off the drugs

Posted by: CraCKER at June 7, 2006 10:23 AM

and plus its only .89 cents so y not???

Posted by: CraCKER at June 7, 2006 10:24 AM

The tastes is pretty good but I didn't feel that energy rush either.

Posted by: Segaton at June 10, 2006 02:12 AM

vault tastes good but lacks the energy

Posted by: cammie at June 16, 2006 11:22 AM

I think Vault is good everyone that I know loves it,matter a fact i'm givin people Vault shirts all the time.My dad works for Coke and says it is not Muntain Dew or Surge (IT'S VAULT)!I agree it kicks the energy in you

Posted by: Chris at June 27, 2006 05:42 PM

dew has more of a kick

Posted by: Mike at July 6, 2006 09:45 PM

If you have any kind of health issues, DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT. It may cause heart attacks. It's probably the 47 grams of caffeine, but still - be careful.

Posted by: Jennifer at July 17, 2006 11:50 AM

hey hey hey this is my first time drinkin it so i dont kno

Posted by: Haley at July 20, 2006 02:20 PM

everybody i know loves vault so i decided i would try it. from then on i was drinking like 8 vaults a week. thats right vault is the best tasting energy drink u can buy.

Posted by: Jesse Nation at July 21, 2006 03:37 PM

Ugh, after drinking Vault, I got horribly sick.

Posted by: Seth at August 12, 2006 06:03 PM

This is more of a party drink. I like drinking it to have a little more energy but drink at night so its not too hard to sleep.

Posted by: drama at August 22, 2006 07:38 AM

best energy drink ever!!!!!!! worth the money

Posted by: jacob at August 28, 2006 10:53 AM

Vault Rocks! Coca-Cola is attacking the Mountain Dew market and doing a great job. Vault is not an energy drink, it kicks like one at a lower price. If you drink lots of caffinated products then you might not feel the kick like others will. It has more caffine than any other soda product on the shelf. Vault Zero with no sugar is awesome!

Posted by: Vault Girl at August 30, 2006 07:31 AM

I think vault is awesome. So what if it doesnt give you "that extra kick" its still good and works for me.

Posted by: HeAdShOt at September 16, 2006 06:40 PM

vault is for pussies. if vault gives you a rush, go drink an extreme shock from 7-11, or try a sobe no fear, that one got me going.

vault is weak, tastes like syrup with bubbles, makes me feel sick from all that useless sugar, and citrus sucks.
(and for all you retards out there that think vault gives you a good "sugar high", you are a degenerate and should not have children. proven scientific fact that there is no such thing as a "sugar high". can you say, placebo?)

Posted by: theREALjfk at September 17, 2006 03:32 PM

HOLA!! me llamo Pablo. No me gusta Vault!! Would tu te gusta buy some pizza?!?!?!?!?!!?
mi pizza es muy bein mucho tien Vault.

Posted by: REDBULL4EVER at September 18, 2006 10:50 AM

I fell asleep after drinking this.

Posted by: Rose at October 6, 2006 03:44 AM

Vault is an Energy Drink it has 70mgs per 12oz. the reason the took surge off the market is because it had to much caffine to be called a soda. so they changed the name and called it an energy drink
Mountain dew has 55mgs per 12oz.
Red Bull has 80mgs per 8.3oz.
And the best Full Throttle has 141mgs per 16oz.

Posted by: SaevelLand at October 12, 2006 12:28 PM

I'm not much for Coke products, but I decided to try it today so I bought a Vault Zero and it tasted HORRIBLE! Bleh! I don't even plan on trying the regular...Coke just released it because their weak Mello-Yello is no match for the Dew, and just like it's predecessor (Surge), Vault will gradually fade into non-existance...

Posted by: Greg at October 20, 2006 08:47 PM

It is not as horrible tasting and thick and nasty as surge and it contain almost 20 mg more of caffine than surge did. Vault Zero is horrible. There is no such thing as a sugar high. If you drink enough of it, it will keep you awake. A lot of common energy drinks contain the same amount of caffine as Vault. Redbull contains 115 mg of caffine. If you fall asleep after drinking a few Vaults, then caffine is not the way to keep you awake. Drinking 2 Vaults is like taking 1 No=Doz.

Posted by: Noneofyourbusiness at November 16, 2006 12:26 PM

I drink a vault every night before bed.

no kick... of course I don't even get a kick from a monster... so.. I might not be a reliable source...

this is basically a soda. not an energy drink. it's dew on steroids

ALL HAIL MOUNTAIN DEW. i've been drinking dew since I was four. nothing can EVER beat it.

out.

Posted by: dakota at November 21, 2006 07:06 PM

My brother drank vault and right after he had a brain bleed not saying it caused it , but I would not drink it!!!!

i got sick after drinking a vault...twice

Posted by: jon at December 11, 2006 06:01 PM

Vault may not be the highest of highs for energy, but it's a good compliment to a true energy drink. Drink it alongside an AMP tallboy or rockstar and you're up for the night.

Posted by: at December 30, 2006 11:07 PM

Vault is terrible. I had 3 8 oz. glasses of it last night at work because we got it in place of Mellow Yellow (my favorite pop, and those Coke idiots are discontinuing it). I couldn't get to freaking sleep. Vault is a DRUG. Plain and simple.


Oh, and all energy drinks are bad for you. Caffeine is a diuretic, meaning it dehydrates you because it processes all of your body's water. There really aren't any health benefits from drinking energy drinks. You're taking DRUGS.

Posted by: Kim at December 31, 2006 01:00 PM

How can anyone drink such incredible amounts of this stuff? I have a friend who drinks this stuff like water, it is practically all her consumes and he will die. No one should drink this stuff and no one should live off it.

Posted by: Mirah at January 8, 2007 03:15 PM

I tasted dog shit that tastes better!

Posted by: cody at January 11, 2007 03:14 PM

vault is great! i love it! of course im an energy drink addict but its a great substitution....cus its actually sold in schools or in fountains at resturaunts...which is like a great plus....and it has a milder taste...so yeah i deffinately think vault qualifies as an energy drink for the most part anyways.

Posted by: la tessita at January 27, 2007 01:41 PM

I like it. I don't feel guilty about drinking as many Vault Zero's as I do, either. It's like a less syrupy Surge, but maybe less caffeine.

Posted by: Simon at February 20, 2007 06:05 PM

I hate this stuff with a passion. It tastes crappy and is most deffinetly not a good energy drink.

Also, you would have to drink a ridiculous amount of calories and sodium to get the same buzz that a real energy drink gives. So it is not a good alternative to simply drink a 2liter of the stuff.

yuck.

Posted by: Joe at April 18, 2007 09:27 AM

I like the stuff. Yes it is not rockstar or any other true energy drink, but you can drink it with pizza. The stuff tastes just like Mellow Yellow, but with more caffeine. It is good when you want some caffeine, but you don't want to open up a $2 can of rockstar.

Places are selling a 20oz bottle for 79 cents and a 2 liter bottle for about a dollar.

Posted by: Bigpete666 at April 25, 2007 07:25 PM

Vault is good...taste wise. Me and my cousin drank like two a peice, and it didn't do anything, except for make us feel tired,nausous,and hungover. There was no energy kick at ALL!!! But it did taste very good, but what happens after you drink it is not worth it.

Posted by: jenna at May 4, 2007 05:51 PM

the only thing that really gives me a kick...skittles&starburst!!!!!

Posted by: jenna at May 4, 2007 05:57 PM

I almost lost my job b/c of vault, I used it to pep me up b4 work and I got the opposite effect, I could not remember things correctly and I had a wierd headache, right above my forehead on the left side. Call me if u had anything related to that 318-617-4408

Posted by: Marvin at May 6, 2007 07:54 AM

Tastes mediocre, but it's cheap.. so it's a great buy if you're broke like me.

Posted by: Belligerenet Possom at May 24, 2007 12:30 PM

Vault is a great "energy soda"...You guys that think that it does not work is simply because it works for different people in different ways. Think of it as a T.V. commercial when it says "Results may vary." For me its a great tasting soda (personally i like it better than dew) and for me it does give me alot of energy. For one of my friends it does not do anything but for another it makes him bounce off the wall. It just matters on how your body responds with it. I personally can drink 2 liters of it a day and be fine. Ive had blood test and everything just to be save and I am healthy as ever. It taste great and gives me that little boost to keep going. It does not dehydrate me either for those who say it does. Like I said...Result Vary.

Posted by: Joseph at June 21, 2007 07:42 PM

Most CRACK HEADS would not like this drink, Because it does not have enough energy!! But for most of US normal folks It's a great addition to the Coke Family!!

Posted by: DOLINATOR at July 10, 2007 01:12 PM

I LOVE VAULT SO MUCH I DRINK IT EVERY DAY

Posted by: KHALIA BOYKIN at July 16, 2007 10:15 AM

ALL U HATIN ASS BROKE ASS BITCHES YALL ARE CRAZY AS HELL VAULT IS SO GOOD SO GO SUCK SOME

Posted by: YO DADDY at July 16, 2007 10:27 AM

The reason some of you think Vault is a great energy drink is likely due to the massive amount of sugar in it.
This stuff is not a good energy bev - it is a temporary fix akin to eating something like 42 teaspoons of plain white sugar....
If you like it, feel free to drink it by the caseload. But it isn't an energy drink, it is a wannabe energy drink, laden with sugar as its primary 'energy' source, which will result in a massive drop off.
Tried it. Thought it was sickeningly sweet. Chugged the bottle. Felt amped. Read the nutritional info and realized it contained huge quantities of sugar. Prepped myself for the crash. Crashed an hour later (I took a nap).
People who drink energy drinks are looking for a way to avoid this nonsense.
Long term use may result in diabetes.
Enjoy!

ok looky here i worked by nights with my dad and i usually go to sleep like at 1 and i can say that vault single handedly kept me up while i was super sleepy and i tried all kinds of stuff and i didnt want a fuckin super kik from a monster energy or a sobe i wanted to stay awake and alert and i wanted to go to sleep on the job when i can and when i wake up i have energy all of your friend that drink vault try those fuckers by the goddamn ton and they are stupid if you drink too much water what will happen your body will fuck up so what is the diff with vault so dont talk about VAULT im a huge vault head and i wont let up, ill die before i let up my position it isnt about the drink its about principle

Posted by: loopyd at August 6, 2007 09:24 PM

Posted by: Andrew at November 3, 2007 05:59 PM

could you please send me the ingrediant list for Vault? I have a project for science class and it would really help me. Thanks.

Posted by: kim at November 6, 2007 05:44 AM

Vault is horrile in kick but it has a pretty good taste to it

Posted by: quincy at November 8, 2007 09:06 PM

I Love Vault, me and my friends always have it at our parties, It makes us extremely hyper and our teachers don't really like it and we almost got suspended/expelled because they thought we were high on school grounds and also Vault tastes WAY better if you mix it with Rockstar and Barqs Root Beer :) Me and my friends almost got aressted because we were mixing that in the Wild Waves (amusement park in Washington)parking lot because they thought we were mixing acohal... haha good times good times....

Posted by: Cassandra at November 16, 2007 10:41 AM

You are so wrong about Vault. Vault is awesome.

Posted by: Some one at December 4, 2007 11:17 AM

If I drink 2 cans of vault I cannot fall asleep. I went two days with 5 hours of sleep and never felt tired. Taste good and now there is a diet version.
If you want something that will keep you up try vault

Posted by: Stephanie at January 1, 2008 12:28 PM

My daughter-in-law drank half a can at the GMAC bowl parade (given out free from parade float). she immediately went rubber-legged and glassy-eyed. She does not drink and mixed it with nothing. My son (a Marine) had to carry her back to the truck. It finally wore off and she had major headache the next day. She has no known health problems and is only 22. This drink is very dangerous. She would have been in hospital had she drank the entire drink. My son drank the other half and he was fine. More study to be done??

Posted by: Deb at January 7, 2008 12:19 PM

Vault has the highest amount of caffeine of any soda on the market at 69mg per can, tastes better than Mountain Dew...so it owns. Of course it won't give you the kick of a $2 can of Rockstar or dedicated energy drink but the price/energy ratio can't be beat.

Posted by: Robert at April 23, 2008 11:36 AM

See, what you do is go to the fountain machine and mix (if you're fortunate enough to have Coke and Pepsi products) 3 parts Vault and 1 part Code Red Mountain Dew. For $.95 it's a tasty 44oz. beverage. For someone such as myself who rarely consumes caffeine it does give an extra little kick.

But, agreed - it's not an energy drink, nor is it advertised as one. And yes, caffeine is a drug, and like any other drug you build a tolerance to it. So to truly experience the 'energy' side of this beverage, drink in moderation, kids.

On a side note, I feel guilty as I'm somehow breaking a law by mixing Coke and Pepsi products... Someone get back to me on that.
