grill vogel Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 this is seriously my first time running into a problem with any of the al fakher line. i cant get this batch of lemon to smoke well at all. it's always too harsh, even when there's barely any smoke. i've tried using coco's as well as 3kings. i always double wrap my bowls and i've tried standard and phunnels. i tried acclimating the tub too, and it doesnt help. is it just a bad batch? has anybody ever experienced the same thing with af lemon or any af. i'd like to hear your stories.

[/quote] funny you say that. i forgot to mention that, the only time it smoked ok/bearable was when i mixed it with some af mint. what's making it so harsh while producing little smoke? i cant imagine there being anything harmful in these bad batches but it's a little curious.

mattarios2 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yep, def a bad batch, exact same symptoms that happened to me when I got bad batches of mint, watermelon, and cocktail. Not sure what causes it. Ask Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Eric [/quote] it was caused by an alignment of mercury and venus during the making of those batches of shisha. anyone else who recieved that batch also got a bad batch lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I never had any luck with AF lemon. IMO, it's a terrible flavor - one of AF's misses. NK Lemon FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I could never smoke their lemon straight. But mixed with mint it tasted like Ricola! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3uphrat3s Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 AF Lemon with AF mint is a very good combination. To the person who said AF Lemon is a miss you didn't smoke it correctly. As for the problems the OP is having, my guess if you have a bad batch. AF needs very little acclimation, if any at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I got AF Lemon with Mint the other day from HookahJohn Hope it smokes good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hmm..sounds like user error. I got a 50g AF Lemon and it smoked as expected. It was used as a mix with AF Mint though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukhookah Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 AF lemon is way harsh, poor flavour in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
