redjako Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 QUOTE (JDHarding @ Mar 18 2009, 11:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well I'm smoking AF watermelon and the flavor is a joke. It also has a heavy chemical taste to it. I tried 2 Coco coals on my small phunnel, and now 3 Jap Canarys, and it's just garbage. Maybe I'm spoiled on Tangiers, I don't know, but AF is no good anymore. I think I'll stick to Tang and Nakhla from now on. Thats too bad...I love AF Watermelon, either plain, or even better as a "layer" for the phunnel.Fusion or the like burn to fast on a phunnel, and I've used Tangiers before as well, as a bottom layer in the phunnel. You can roast the crap outta AF, so it kept some great flavors going for hours.AF Watermelon + white grape, or Peach was the shiznit.HOWEVER, my last tub of AF Watermelon was great until the last...inch or so of the shisha (in the original tub, 250g). It smelled all chemical like, and tasted like ass.Quality problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I know that flavor, I have a couple of pounds in the freezer similar to, AF watermelon. Its quite volatile and unstable. I would not recommend acclimating it. I'm sure Dom can tell you all about it....he tried some for fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_shimoon Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I used to love AF Watermelon. I'd smoke it exclusively for months at a time. Then, I started to dislike it. It became too harsh, ripping at the back of your throat. I read in the shisha mixes section that you should mix a little bit of AF Vanilla and AF Mint with watermelon to mellow it out a bit. I'd like to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kills some of the sweetness and tastes great.watermelon mint is a very good combo. personally i havent ever had a chemical taste from watermelon, but i never smoke it by itself. ive always mixed it.

GreatPigHookah Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I go through a pretty good amount of AF. I've gone through two tubs of watermelon in the past few months and both were perfect, with 2008 production dates. Although I, too, mix it with mint most of the time because it is SO sweet. I still have yet to get a 'bad' tub of AF and I've gone through 2 tubs of watermelon, 2 tubs of plum, 2 tubs of mint, 2 tubs of golden esk. apple, a tub of peach, grenadine, sweet melon, honey, caffe latte, vanilla, golden bahrani apple, and golden rose over the last 6-8 months or so. The only thing odd I've had was one tub of Esk. Apple smoked fine for the first half of the tub then went all wierd - not sure what happened - but it lost it's apple flavor and got a strong/harsh chemical taste to it. Leaving it sitting out seemed to have helped it, but it never fully recovered so I eventually had to dump it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor413 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 AF grape, watermelon and peach have been my go to flavors for a while now. I find most of the AF flavors have an artificial "candy" type flavor which I'm actually fond of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modisess Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 well, i never buy any fruit flavors from AF anymore. One exception being the golden bahraini apple, that stuff is good.... now the only flavor of AF im going to get is vanilla and caffe latte.i tried their peach, horrible.watermelon, horrible.orange, horrible.grenadine, horrible.esk apple, about 1/4th of my way through the 250g, the flavor was becoming more and more like af watermelon, where the flavor is just so overpowering.but they're caffe latte and vanilla is fucking awesome! and mint! and bahraini apple. ok set, those are the only 4 flavors from af i will be buying from now on.
