Kashmir Problems?

[skiracerj1]

Just tried my new f-line kashmir, and i dont know what went wrong but it was pretty terrible, i let it acclimate for 6hours, but it just tasted kinda like soap, i was using nours so i dont think the coal was the issue, if any of you have had this problem, 1 does it get better, and 2 how to i fix it? more acclimating? 6 hours has always been good to me, and it wasnt extremely harsh, and it smells great, but doesnt taste anything like it smells

what bowl are you using, and are you using large holes in the foil?

[skiracerj1]

the phunnel bowl, with three ring of small holes spaced about 3/8" apart with no hole over the center, with two 2" long nour fingers

If it tastes like soap, then I have to ask, did you recently clean your hookah with soap? You could have accidentally left some residue down the shaft.I don't have a ton of experience with Tangers tobacco. It's been a while since I first got a free sample, so I can't offer much help in that department.

an undertandable question, but nope its been 3 or 4 bowls since i last cleaned it thoroughly

Some people absolutely hate Kashmir flavor, some people love it. I know this sounds a little weird, try it out of a standard Tangiers head. This is one of the most idiosyncratic flavors in the book.
