Velocity yoyo stinks

Hi, so I just recently got a yyt velocity from yyt and I’m just saying, it STINKS.
It smells like melted metal or something, but I’m not sure it was like that before.
I got it in the mail and it was okay and all, but after 1 day, it smelled like sulphuric acid just burned through the inside and dirty socks were melted and dripped into the hole.
(It works fine, but the smell is overwhelming)
I don’t think this is normal lol.
xD
Edit: I took another sniff (I dunno why I did) and it seems to be both the bearing and the yoyo as the bearing stinks with it.
The smell is like someone took a “똥” in the bearing. Otherwise it is not contagious luckily. I put that thing on the bed and the bed smells fine still. (very weird smelling things)
I also got a replay pro but that doesn’t smell.

Completely normal, in fact it has the upgraded smell, the prototypes were judged to not be stinky enough. The purpose is to fill the room, and remind you to play with it.

Might be worth contacting them and asking for a non-scented replacement! I’m sure they will be receptive…

Whatever you do, do not lube the yoyo with Preparation H. Because it will shrink the bearing.:flushed:

Alek, sorry some were snarky including myself. I do know people who are very sensitive to smells, to the point where you wonder if their profession should have been a wine taster. Many are sensitive to plastic smells, others take no notice. You may be hypersensitive to odors, and that’s not something you have control over.
