I can't say anything about thanks as I haven't used them yet, but I am thinking about trying them. Novos have been better to me than any AAS I have put in my body. The way I've understood the difference between thanks and novos is that the thanks have a higher purity, and so less water retention. I could be completely wrong, but this is what I've gotten out of reading about the two of them.
I think that's why rips have so much water retention and sides is the lower purity/fillers in them. GH in them for sure, but also other stuff as evidenced by the test on the other site. I'm not sure if you can beat novos in terms of bang for your buck. I'm going to give eli's a try next though and see how they treat me.
