New electronics will have a smell mostly from adhesives outgassing. Those fumes.

This is the only board I ever smelled that was pleasant. Usually a circuit board smells faintly of burnt plastic and pee, even new.

Well, I guess we found who the warning was directed at lol

It seemed like a disclaimer more than a warning.

New electronics usually smells really good. I cannot be the only one.

Yeah I figured it had to be glue or plastic based fumes from heat.
