Another Acclimation Question....

[KeepItSimple]

Ok, the acclimation thread is looong, and it's not really answering my questions. So I got some OG Pear and I have left it out and stirred it and what not for going on three days now. When I first got it I pulled some right out and smoked it and it tasted like pear. But I opened the bag again later that day and it smelt like soy sauce. So I started with the acclimation. I mean it smells like pear, but really really strong and kinda dark. It smells a lot like pear chewing tobacco. Maybe with a little more pear than tobacco.

I had the new lemon lime and it worked fine for me. Also note that I'm in the same climate as Eric, I live like an hour north. Edited March 29, 2010 by KeepItSimple

Soooo whats the question?

[KeepItSimple]

The question is if thats what it's supposed to smell like. No other shisha I have smoked smells like tobacco, but maybe thats what it's supposed to smell like. I mean I can smell the pear, there is just also this tobacco smell to it. And it tastes strong when I smoke it, definitely smokable, but not this great amazing pear taste I would expect.

I know that bgb smells weird no matter what, but smokes/tastes fine.

I never really paid much attention to pear, granted i havent had it in a long time.
Ill open my 250g and see if i get the same results..... ill post back in a few hours time.

Thanks for checking it out with your own batch.

Um yea, I mean, it kinda smells like BBQ, like I said it's exactly like Pear Chewing Tobacco. Soooo idk, when I smoke it the taste is like candy pear ish with a undertaste of strong tobacco.

You need to acclimate it more/correctly. Make sure its in a shallow container and your stir every 30 minutes for four hours. Close it up and wait a day. If it still smells, pack a bowl anyway and try it out. Also make sure you acclimate outside if you smoke out side, or inside if thats where you smoke. I had the same problem and it was fixed with how much I stirred it while acclimating and where I acclimated it. This is how I fixed it, so hopefully it'll work for you too.

Update....

After acclimating it all night it smells fine.
No tobacco scent can be detected.


All i can say is let it acclimate more and take dizz's advice if you havent already done so.

[KeepItSimple]

I'll do that for sure Dizz, thanks
