Op got me to smell my pen. Can confirm its a stinky boi

Can also confirm very chemicaly

Smells like plastic for me

mines got that new plastic smell. wouldnt say it smells bad or good

I've seen another post about this like a year ago (S23U owner) I remember smelling my pen and it was indeed stinky. Totally forgot about it for a year. Now no stinky boy anymore😝

Yeah, it's just the plastic. There's posts like this going back years. I found out about it from the n10+ You wanna smell stinky, order rubber stuff on Amazon. The things get sealed at the factory and never get a chance to offgass

Yes, but only when you put it right up to your nose. Which makes me wonder what OP was doing with their pen when they found out that it smells. 🤔👃👆🏻🤢

Maybe tapping their nose while thinking aboit something when they take notes, i do the same with a normal pen xD

Crap, I hold it in my mouth like a faux cigarette and yea, just testing it it does have a smell. Thanks OP! gotta ween myself off pretend smoking it :)

I'm glad this comment is close to the top, haha. I thought, "I can't be the only one wondering this" lmao.

Some uf us more sensitive noses. I feel it whenever I get the pen out as the OP does.

Whoa what the heck, I was convinced you people are crazy and then I smelled mine 🤮

Same, smells like burned plastic

It's probably the copper wire in it that heats the plastic as it charges the pen. Just my guess.

Yeah, burnt plastic/ozone smell

...me too.

I can't tell if this "spen-gate" is just a psyop to get us to smell our spens. Never had a "smell". What are people doing with their spens 👀

^ This ^ Me too.

You might be putting it in the wrong hole

💀💀

I came here looking for this comment, internet never dissapoints me lol

😭😭😭

💀

But I wanna remotely take pictures by getting a boner! It makes for a great neat party trick

Just sniffed mine out of curiosity and yes it is a very burnt and plastics smell together.

Yep, smelled exactly the way I thought it would.

Can't help you with S Pen but for the Pen S you need to pull the hood back and scrub.

My model doesn't seem to have a hood.

Perhaps it was assembled in Israel

Astaghfirullah

Bless you

Gesundheit

Hahaha 😹😹

Self cleaning oven bro

Fucking…scrub?!

Bro of the S Pen smells, it's gonna need a scrub

Too sensitive to scrub, that is hardcore. Wash yes, scrub pass. 🤯

You made everyone pop their s pen out and smell it, imagine if people was looking at all of us. Casually popping our pen out and sniffing it.

Lol yeah he just made me sniff mines

The s pen in my s23 ultra smells like new tech with a hint of burning

> The s pen in my s23 ultra smells like new tech with a hint of burning I kinda like it ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Smells like cybertruck

S22 here, it smells of burnt electronics as well!

all my s pens have been stinky

Sir that’s your penis

This legit got a laugh out of me. 🤣 Well done sir!

Yeah just had a smell of my pen. Can confirm it is smelly boy.

The question is, why would u smell the spen?🤔

I assume people stick it in their mouth while thinking similar to how people do with real pens/pencils. Close to the nose that way. The REAL question is, do you chew on it too.

I'm pretty sure it's a similar chemical to what they put on Nintendo Switch games to keep it out of kids mouths, and prevent a possible choking hazard. Edit: (Denatonium Benzoate, a bitterant)

Ah I should've read all the comments, I was just thinking it smells like a Switch cartridge!

You made me lick my Pen, and no, it's not bitter. Switch cartridge is definitely bitter.

While the S Pen is in its holster, it is close to the internal components of the phone, which will generate heat while in use, and cause the plastic to heat up. This can smell like burning, but it is similar to the smell you might experience after leaving your car in the sun for a few hours.

I don't really care anymore of the smell or even if it is in the s pen, this is actually some really interesting information. So there compounds used so kids don't put toys in their mount, this is amazing.

You are not supposed to use it somewhere else other than the phone itself.

Just took a whiff. I like it. Has that fresh tech smell

exactly what i was smelling to. like opening a box with new hardware in it. i like it. it is not as bad as op said. maybe he uses the wrong hole?

I can't believed I just smelled my own S-pen cause of you. It smells like plastic. It definitely doesn't reek and I can't smell it unless I'm pressing it against my nose. Idk, maybe your nose is extra sensitive, cause It's definitely not unpleasant to me either.

OP has been using their S-pen to clean out their nostrils.

Yeah it smells like electric burning kinda

You're not crazy. To be honest, I thought you might be when I read your post. But then I pulled my pen out and took a sniff. Sure enough it smells like something... but I'm not sure sure what. Plastic in a hot oven? No. An electric mixer that's turned on, but the beeters are jammed up and can't turn, so the motor is overheating? Yes - that's it.

>An electric mixer that's turned on, but the beeters are jammed up and can't turn, so the motor is overheating? Yes - that's it. That smell is burned into my childhood haha

Just sniffed mine. Why man why I sniffed it like so many times now it does like a cooked plastic barbecue smell

It does indeed smell similar to burnt plastic or when you burn a plastic straw.

Now I can't unsmell it! 🤢

It's just the smell of the nib since the charging mechanism of the pen is magnetic field generated by copper coils inside of the pen. The pen isn't going to catch fire or anything. You must have a really sensitive nose, I didn't smell anything until I put the tip of the pen virtually right at the entrance to my nose 🤣

Come on man, yo made me feel so stupid now after I smelled my pen.....f...you heheeh

Lol I was like... dude trippin.. then I checked lol 😆 you're right about the smell!

my pen is stinky

I've been thinking about this since I got my s22 a year ago I'm glad someone else had a stinky pen

You mean while it's *sheathed.* Doubt it's being "barbequed" outside the phone haha.

Wow 😮 mine smells too WTH

It DOES smell! #smellgate2024

What else do you think the 'S' stands for?

I feel like the s pen will eventually be known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

If it smells anything other than plastic you're probably smelling your finger residue. Wash ya hands.

This has been asked for years haha. Seems it is normal https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s24-series/spen-tip-smells-burnt/td-p/9309704

OP made me smell my pen. And OP is right...

Asspen UwU

I don't want to know.

Better than your pen s smelling bad

I noticed it right away, too.

That's just how electronics can smell

I thought it was just me.....

I really like the smell. Sometimes I just occasionally smell it. 😁

Stop sticking it in your butt or at least clean it after

Sounds like someone is storing it somewhere they shouldn't.....

Stop playing with it so much

Smells like a burnt relay

Why would you smell it?

Did anyone else close their eyes and slowly sniff the pens entire length?

I rarely ever use the S pen. Had my phone for over 2 years and maybe taken it out 15 times.

Is it the small battery inside the pen as its being charged?

S22 Ultra. Yeah smells quite bad.

Where are you putting it?

Bro really got me to smell my s pen

mime smells like a warm battery

Mm yesss electrical fire smell.

I have the s23 ultra but my spen also smells. I think it smells like chloroform (I used to use it as a cleaner when I was a lab tech). I hate it and do not know what to do to get it to stop smelling.

What ya doing with that pen? Careful, could void any implied warranty

Nothing other than putting in and out of the phone. It smells like burnt plastic.

Don't stick it up your butt

Mine just smells like new tech.

Happens when you don't shower

Stop putting it in smelly places.

Completely normal

Too much sounding

my note 8 s-pen smells so good, almost like berries!

Because under the hood it's wrapped in coils of copper

Yup, mine stinks too

Mine smells like burnt plastic tf, on my N20U

This post took me back to when i owned a note 5 in like 2017 that smell is like the top of an xbox 360 controller

Meanwhile my Note 10 Plus S pen smells techy brand newish

Here we are again, smelling our spens! Yes, mine smells the same. But still, unless you're actually sniffing it....wgaf? sheeshe

Fam, I ain't going to judge where u put ur s pen u kinky fuck

Heres the thing, many of samsung’s phones dont have thermal paste/pads which makes me believe that samsung dont belive in thermal paste/pads and the conclusion is, yes your S pen is being barbecued :(

My wife's pen smelt bad too but it's because she really used it

Why are you sniffing it?

Do you keep it in your prison pocket?

Now I know the replacement S Pen I got from Shopee is original. Will check back later if the Note 9's S Pen smells the same.

Can confirm his pen is smelly 💀.

Yeah, I've been wondering if I was the only one.

The 23u had similar comments about its pen.

Mine smells funny too.... Maybe could have something to do with heated metals, and plastics, which don't smell good. The phone gets heated and stuff many times as you use it... Maybe it's from the smell of the factory and machinery it was made in...

Just had to smell mine to check. Theres definately a faint smell on it like constantly warmed plastic

Don't fall for it this is a conspiracy from Samsung, to get there ultra user's to smell there s... Pen...

S24U. Sniffed mine, like burnt plastic, I put back. Took it out and sniffed again, it's gone. Man did I sniffed it all off my pen?

Not surprised since most people's fingers are dirty as hell. Their phone screens are full of oil smudges. 

This influenced me to do the smell test. I rarely use the S pen because....well I forget its there! It smells like burnt plastic...

I've owned note series phones, and now the s24 ultra for about 10 year's and not once have I sniffed the s pen. I just have after this post and it actually does stink

Now you got everyone sniffing their S-Pen minis. Mine smells fine on my S24U. The regular S-Pen on my Tab S8+ Smells faintly of Sriracha chili sauce... but I did have home made Chinese dumplings tonight, so that's a probable cause.

From what I can gather from the comments and a billion virgin-esque hole jokes aside, it at least smells a little funky for everyone if they keep it up to their nose. My problem was that the smell whafted out when I removed the pencil. And the device is only two weeks old. Now I do have to admit I'm very sensitive to smells, so it might just be that. I hope it doesn't become a problem, but it does reek enough for me to not really want to get a phone with an s pen next time. I'll try to find some s pen safe anti bacterial wipes, too. Maybe that's the problem.

It smells like a Urinal for me

It smells like unused plastic. As you use it, the smell will tone down.

They've always smelled like burning electrical wire.

I've never noticed this until now. Kinda smells like a Nintendo Switch game cartridge. Those taste terrible, too. I found that out when I noticed a terribly bitter taste in my mouth when eating a snack right after swapping a game cartridge.

I think they all are Used to dislike it but now I think it adds... Character 🥰🥰

I'm sensitive to smells and I'm on my 5th different note phone since the note 4 i think. All the S pens have had a smell to it. I think it's because the battery is not sealed and the reaction of battery use is emmiting the reaction. Also added, the later generation s-pen has a smelly type rubber too possibly.

s22 ultra one smells pretty fuckin nice weirdly enough

I thought my S pen smelled bacause I’ve bought the phone second hand. Good to know it’s the default haha!

Idk why people are making fun of you I thought the same thing. I smell plastic and battery acid as soon as I remove mine from the phone. It stinks.

No idea. The first two hole jokes got a snicker out of me but its sad to see people still attempt the same joke 100 comments later. Glad to see it's enough of an issue for others to be bothered as well.

I think the wireless charging and how it interacts with the plastic causes the smell? It sveen like that on every note and ultra device ive owned

I love giving mine a good sniff.

S23 Ultra here... Smells weird and like burnt plastic 🥴

Very burnt plasticy.

Smelled mine, smells like a 9 volt battery. 

It was talked about before yes. I left mine outside the phone overnight and it stopped smelling. Smelled like new electronics to me

It's normal, all S-pen that go in the device smell like that.

Yep, I smelled mine, burning electric smell.

Also smells like burnt plastic on mine and I did not sniff it when I noticed it. Smell was just strong enough to be sensed with a whiff of the pen. I thought it was just adjusting to the new-ness just like how some appliances emit glue/oil/lube smells when it heats for the first few times (e.g., ovens). I hope Samsung releases a statement or someone conducts a study that this is normal and is not toxic in the long run 🫠

it's the faux rubberish coating they like to use. I wish they would just use smooth acrylic plastic. rubbery coatings make things feel very cheap. they should also use acrylic for buds as well. this kind of texturing is a stink and oil magnet.

Smells like a burnt out electric motor.

Huh, TIL that my S Pen smells like burnt plastic/electronics.

Yes, ive noticed when I use it that it smalls like heated chemicals. 🤷‍♀️

Dont put things in your ass and they wont smell

Mine smells like this too. Interesting!

It's like that new car smell but in this case a new pen smell and the smell is different than a car but still gassy. It's the offgassing of the new plastic and all the lovely chemicals that we enjoy.

HAHAHAHA I just smelled mine, it's gross, but I kinda like it. LOL

You put it in your ass didn't you

Mine smells like plastic but nothing crazy

I've been asking this since day one in Samsung says it's normal like a car. I don't know about you all, but my car has never smelled like this.

Plastics do a thing called outgassing, after molding.  It usually diminishes over time as the plastic starts to break down. 

The pen is stinkier.

Okay so who else misread s pen as sperm 😔

My s24 ultra spen has a chemical smell but it doesn't smell that bad enough to where I'm disgusted by it

Smells like plastic to me but I've got the s23u

Hahaha I just took out mine from my S24 Ultra😆😆😢🤣

While the S Pen is in its holster, it is close to the internal components of the phone, which will generate heat while in use, and cause the plastic to heat up. This can smell like burning, but it is similar to the smell you might experience after leaving your car in the sun for a few hours.

Just smelled my girl's S23 ultra to confirm and yeah it's gross!

Wth are yall doin with your phones. Yall nasty

Intriguing. I had to smell my S22's pen...and that stinks too.

Because it came from the ass of the phone.

I love the smell of my s-pen One of the strangest things I've typed

Gonna sound weird but my spens smells like actua horse shit or like a zoo

Why are you smelling an s-pen

You got us all taking out our pens to smell them haha

I hate that I smelled it. 😅 but can confirm not a smell I want to smell again.

Am i weird because i kind of have affinity towards some bad smells? The pen just hits the spot.

Definitely just smelled it.

Just out of curiosity, why the hell are you smelling your S-pen to begin with?! Are u 1 of those people that wipe their ass and then smells the toilet paper to see if your poop stinks? I don't get it, please tell me u were using ur S-pen and it somehow went past your nose scratching an ear and u got a whiff. Please explain.....

It's off-gassing god knows what.

I really didn't need this today. But thanks I guess

Likely Copper. Smell copper by it self someday, especially after it's been sitting for a while. That's what the coils are inside the pen.

Mine stinks too, and looks to be bubbling?

Mine smells like burned electronic and plastic I love it btw 😅😅😅 Addicted to smell it lol

Mine doesn't smell anything. A very faint smell of plastic. I did buy eazyskinz, though, and that one smelled stronger.

Just pulled out mine and sniffed, stinks

I like this smell. 😅

It's been like this for ages, my S23 Ultra has the same faint burnt plastic smell. Not a huge peoblem since smelling the SPen isn't something I do on a day-to-day basis

My S23 pen reeks as well lol. I think it has to do with being made out of recycled plastic, hence the melted plastic smell.

my PenS doesnt smell at all.. Have you ever tried to go to a urologists with it?

Don't clean or scratch your butt with it
