BTW here is the fella who reinked and changed the nibs on his ohuhu markers to a Copic brush nib: https://youtu.be/tSlfQXXGC3A

Ohuhu has made a huge splash on the marker scene by coming out with really affordable marker sets over the past couple of years. The ink is smooth, the nibs resilient and the customer service is excellent! So when rumors that they were working on a brush tip version started to surface the art community got really excited. I had the privilege to get a set a couple of months prior to their release and I have been using them a lot. You have probably seen sneak peeks in some of my cardmaking videos, Today I am going to give you the lowdown on these markers!

48 colors
Brush and chisel tip
Nice carrying bag

Pros:
Price (Price TBD but should be in the under $40 range)
Nice well rounded color selection
Brush tip is juicy and great for blending and laying in lots of ink
Smooth ink laydown, not patchy
Works well with the classic Ohuhu markers
I recommend this for coloring and blending for stampers and artists (not brush lettering)

Cons:
The color numbering system is not the same as the classic chisel/bullet Ohuhu markers
The material the brush tip is made of is the "felty" materials instead of the "foam-spongy" feeling materials and in my experience the felty material frays eventually especially if you let it go dry or press on the nib toohard.
Nib is not very flexible and I fear damaging it if I tried flexing it. I would not recommend this for brush lettering.
Also with these types of tips (not on these Ohuhu markers because I have not had them very long) I have had desalinization where the salts from the ink leech up through the brush tip and make the marker look gross. To remedy that I add alcohol on the tip to dissolve the ink and salt back into the marker.

Bottom Line:
These are a great budget brush tip marker if you get them for $1 a piece or less. The brush nibs are not going to last as well as a copic but if you are gentle with them they will serve you well until you use up the ink. I have been using them 2 months and have not had any issues but I recommend keeping them capped when not in use and not storing them in hot dry areas (like on a shelf near a heater) because of drying. I have had markers with tips like these stored in my basement work area with no problem but the ones I keep in my office on a bookshelf 4 feet from a baseboard radiator have dried and frayed. I think storing the markers in a plastic Rubbermaid tote would help with this issue too. These markers are a lot of fun and easy to use. The quality isn't up there with Copic or other foam-like tip marker but neither is the price and if you are looking for an affordable brush tip marker you can't beat it!
