Namenone Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I got 2kg of af double apple and it hasn't got the strong taste it used to have! my set up is a km trimetal with an alien phunnel. I've tried it in an egyptian too, i use cocobricos but have also tried QL's and its just not as strong as i remember the other batches being. Does anyone know whats up with them? has anyone else been getting bad batches? Both of my kg tubs are from 2010. ones in october and on the other one the month has rubbed off.

TheyCallMeDave Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I've had AF DA about 4 times in my life. The first time was perfect. Delicious. That was about a year or two ago. Every time I've purchased it after that, it's always uncooperative, thin smoke, harsh, not good. I didn't know what was happening, so I just abandoned ship and never bought the shit again. Lol. I will say though, I recently had AF "2", and I love the stuff. Very much an updated, better version of AF's original DA. If you are an AF fan, and are trying to stay away from Nak DA (why I wouldn't know), I would start buying their "2". Very good, very refreshing, with a good, sweet bite.

Mr Flavour Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I have bought around 7-8 Kilos of double apple in the past month or two and I agree, some batches can be abit dull. I dont know what it is that causes this but abit of Al Fakher mint spruces it up abit. Tbh i prefer the dull AF apple to Al Nakhla apple! But you stated you bought them in 2010 so they have most likely dried out which is why they arent tasting very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waaaaay better than AF orginal DA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_lunchb0x Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 story is. AF quality control is all fucked up. Alot of people here have been turned off to their old go to flavors becuase lately its been really bad. Maybe this is the same for double apple. when you smoked it was it with ice in the basde or just water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namenone Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Just cold water, no ice or anything. I've even tried to overpack it but nothing. no anise taste at all =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namenone Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Im not sure if it was AF licorice i had or not, but i remember it having a black licorice flavour to it, wheras the double apple taste is quite different, its not too overpowering imo.
