Prusa Resin Odor

On average, does the Prusa orange tough resin (the small bottle that comes with the printer) have the same odor strength as the other colors of Prusa tough resin (or does the clear tough resin for one example have less odor)?  

(There are super low odor tough resins in the eshop, but they appear to be sold out).

Prusa just added the new resins since the beginning of dec and have not put them in-stock yet, so the low odor ones are not yet ready. However I do love that they finally made CMYK resin so potentially we can have mixable color resin.

I've tried Ameralabs AMD-3 LED "odorless" resin recently and based on that experience I think it smells even more badly than Prusa resins. 😉 It's different smell though. But for me, it's more annoying. And what is even worse - carbon filters are less effective on it. It took almost twice as long until my air purifier removed the smell from the room completely.

So for me this particular type is "no go".

@david-t2  - I will definitely keep that in mind when buying more resin.

 

For what its worth, I have started alternating between the Prusa Tough Orange (that comes in the kit) and Prusa Tough Clear.  It seems like the Prusa Tough Clear does not smell as much as the Orange.  

 

I wonder if this a difference between clear vs opaque resins.  Does anyone have more experience to know if there is an odor difference between clear and opaque?

Also, has anyone had experience with Siraya (clear) Blu resin and can comment on its odor?
