MechAnt Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Lately, it's sort of a common problem. Personally, I've never had any problem with AF Grape since it's my favorite flavor. Is this your first time smoking AF Grape?Acclimation seems to help some from what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all steered themselves right into the garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Like I've said before, some people smell ketchup while others small deliciousness. For some that might be one and the same.

SuburbanSmoker Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Honestly this has been a topic of much discussion throughout the last year or so. its honestly how you look at it. about half the people who smell af grape love it other half find it to be toos weet or smell like ketchup. if you are one who cant get passed the ketchup either mix it with something or trade it to some one. its not user error if thats what your thinking.

Arcane Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 well, how does it taste when you smoke it? if it tastes like grape or you find the taste appealing, i really don't see a problem. if i bought AF Grape and it smells like onions in the tub, but tastes like Grape when I smoke it...then there really is no issue. it's not like you're going to leave the tub open and keep smelling it while you're smoking.

mitchard Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 When did this whole ketchup thing start again?I found a box of Aug 2007 (I believe it was August, either way it was mid 2007) at a shop. I might buy it, and compare it to a newer batch.Yeah, Mizo Grape smells funky too, but tastes nothing like it smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably use the same grape for the "grape" and the "grapes with mint" so if your grape with mint was made before august then the grape is probably good too.
