I've been reading around and opinion seems split,some people say all their packs have the smell (sweet,fruity,bubblegummy smell) if you put your nose up to the end of the pack and some people say they shouldn't have any smell and only leaking cells should smell.huh.

Lots of people report this smell after storing new or perfectly good packs in an airtight container.

So i'm not sure if all these packs (seems most of them) have very tiny leaks or if it's just from manufacturing where some electrolyte has contaminated the outside of the cell.Maybe soldering/welding causes tiny leaks from the tab seals.I dunno.I'm not going to worry unless it gets stronger,atleast i know what to smell for.
