Tangiers K-peach Chemical Smell?


Recommended Posts

I've had a tub of k-peach for a while now, and have only smoked it maybe 3 times so far. I never acclimated it, so this might be an acclimation problem. But it smells and tastes like chemicals. I've had stinky Tangiers before (Blue Gumball) but that was more of a soy sauce smell. This is a nasty chemical smell. Like peaches that aren't ripe. Sour peaches, even. Not sweet at all. I got it acclimating on foil now, but has anyone else had chemical smelling/tasting Tangiers?

My #1 flavor. Let it acclimate. Personally I've had to expose it to air for more than 20 hours before it's perfect. It won't smell sweet, the smell is hard to describe. Strong, spicy, perhaps. Trust me, you'll know when it's good to go.

The peach flavor has a particularly strange aroma by itself, like snail bait or garden bug spray in its concentrated form. Good nose, man! It should smoke fine, though. They add fruity aromas to pesticides for home use, whether its to attract the pests or to make it less offensive. The same way some cherry flavors smell like cough syrup. Maybe AF grape smelling like ketchup is really because they add grape flavor to ketchup. I know it sounds weird, but...these flavoring chemicals are prevalent in all sorts of products, even ones that are obnoxious or dangerous.

I agree, acclimate! I have found I have to acclimate K-Peach much longer than the other flavors I have smoked, with the exception of blue gumball and tropical revenge, which can take longer. I would set that Kpeach out for a day or so in the room you're going to smoke in, then give it a shot. It never smelled like chemical to me, but it did have an odd smell until it got acclimated, then the only odd smell was the Kashmir, which I wasn't sure I'd like until I tried it, and liked it.

It's been acclimating for about 8 hours now. It's got kind of a spicy smell to it, like my k-cherry had. But not very sweet. It's also got that chemical cleaner smell still. Wanna smoke some Tangiers chlorox flavor with me? Anyone? It's yum-yum. tongue.gif
