no smell coming out of airlock

I've just put two brews away and they are fermenting away quite nicely but I've noticed that the gas coming out of the airlock has almost no smell to it. All of the previous brews I've done have either smelt like they would taste or would have a rotten egg smell.
Is there anything to make from this or is it quite normal?

As far as I'm aware the "rotten egg" smell comes from using saflager yeast. maybe you're just using a different yeast this brew?
