As a teacher, as well, I can say these are the worst markers I've ever used. They are hard-tipped, which is a pain in the neck, the ink actually flows very poorly even with fresh refills, and the colors are cheap and dull. Unfortunately, there are not many other options that are easy to buy online in the West so it's probably just a lack of experience that leads people to believe these garbage pens are actually good.
I've used a set for about a year and a half now. Refilled the sames pens well over 10 times and wouldn't consider replacing them. The only difference between them and a new set is the thickness of the line. I actually prefer the thicker line when the tip starts to loosen up. I'm onto my third set with the chisel tips and they're fantastic (only increased my collection, never thrown any away).

I've been using and refilling these markers for years. As a math tutor, I use them a lot and love that the colours are so vibrant (relative to other brands I've tried). I love that they stay dark until they are just about done, where other markers start fading quickly. I cannot buy colour refills in Canada, or bullet tip black markers. I take my used coloured tips and replace the chisel tip in my black markers. The chisel tip doesn't stand up to some of my more aggressive young student. My one complaint - the marker chunks that are left behind when you erase stick to everything. And I mean chunks! I've tried different erasers, but always end up with chunks.
Interesting...I didn't realize you can switch out the tips! I'm going to review another refillable dry erase marker from a company called Pallas Pens. Check it out here and let me know what you think! pallaspens.com
Hey Ed - we have a lot of walls with dry erase paint on them - wondering what the best markers to avoid ghosting would be on that type of surface? Something to maybe do a video on.
Hi Daniel, in my experience, dry erase paint has never worked well as I find that it ghosts all too easily. Unfortunately I have seen instances where customers have covered up the Dry Erase Paint with the Post-it Dry Erase Surface due to the excessive ghosting. The only thing I can suggest is to not leave the Dry Erase Marker on the paint too long and also to wait for the Dry Erase Marker to dry before erasing (if you erase it when it's fresh, it will likely ghost more). Good luck!
I hate that in Brazil, we don’t have the Chisel Tip; so I have to get the permanent one, dry it all the way and put the new ink and wait to be really good to use! To my handewriting, the chisel is perfect! 🤦🏻♂️
Have you found any "longevity" comparisons between these and a "standard" whiteboard marker? Reviews on Amazon are all over the place (re: shorter, the same, longer) From personal experience, I find they don't last quite as long. What's your experience been since posting the video? We're working on a proposal to expand the use of these in other classrooms, but are in need of some more data. Do you (or anyone else) know of any reviews? Thx!
Hi Nathan, yes, I believe the ink cartridges run out quicker, but the larger issue I believe is that the marker tips will eventually wear out. I’m actually waiting for a sample of another refillable dry erase marker that replaces both the ink cartridge and marker tip which will be a game changer! The marker is made by a company called Pallas Pens - pallaspens.com Send me an email to Ed.tchoi@icloth.io and I can introduce you to my contact at Pallas Pens. Thanks for watching!
Couldn't you also just replace the tip too though? I know they make replacement marker tips and usually in other markers you can just flip it over when the point dulls.
That would be awesome if you could replace the tip as well, but not sure if the V Board Dry Erase markers have replaceable tips. I did find replacement tips from Pilot Japan, but not sure if it's available in North America. I'll have to find out as this is a great suggestion!
Very interesting...I've used a couple of refill cartridges, but that's never happened to me before. Perhaps try shaking the pen (be careful that everything is fully sealed) and see what happens. If not, it could be a defect. Let me know how it goes either way. Thanks!
@@EdTchoi With the red and black ones that I have I was able to refill it successfully. But just this blue one has a problem I guess. What is interesting is that the tip is not dry, if I use it to write on the board or any surface, it leaves a transparent liquid - no blue color comes out but it is fully refilled! Where is this transparent liquid coming from? why is it not letting the blue ink pass? Makes me wonder.... 🤔
@@sreysros9693 Hmmm...it almost sounds like the ink formula isn't mixed properly...I would either try returning it or try contacting Pilot directly. Definitely doesn't sound normal though
@@EdTchoi true. it's fascinating how it is releasing this transparent liquid. I might drop by the store one of these days to ask. But anyhow the pens which I refilled successfully are really awesome. I am homeschooling my kids so I use a lot of markers and yes this Pilot V Master is the best marker I have ever used so far 👌
When i fill using other refills (with merk A and S), i dont know why. The result is my font become lighter. Not darker. Different with original when first time used. May be ,we have must use original refills
For some, the idea of it being refillable and reusable is very important, but I see your point if one focusses only on the price. In any case, I did find it to perform very well. Thanks for your comment!
Noel Husz Good question! From my research, it appears that the marker lasts as long as regulars dry erase markers, however in some cases, I’ve heard reports that the refills may not last as long. I haven’t gone through a whole refill yet, but I’ll definitely post ince I get more experiences with it. Thanks for commenting!
Noel Husz it’s been a few weeks, however I haven’t done any heavy whiteboard sessions during that time. I would say that it should be lasting much longer than a day though
No.1, you put a black ink cartridge on a red marker. Huge mistake. No.2, this is NOT a refill. This is a cartridge change, which is much more expensive and way more wasteful.

They are low odour and I'm quite certain they are non toxic. If you are very sensitive to smell, they do have a faint smell, but you really have to put your nose to the tip to smell it.

i bought a marker like this and didnt know how to use it. i did it in 1 try. thanks. this guy deserves a straight to the point award
Glad you like the video, and yes, I do like getting to the point ☺
As a teacher I can say these are the best whiteboard pens I have used so far. I use the bullet tip ones. Clear, rich pigment and refillable.
Awesome...love the feedback from the field! I like them a lot myself as well!
@@EdTchoi i’m a teacher myself ..
I bragged aboutthem a bit too much .. got them stolen 🙄

These markers are the best. I wish I could post a picture of my cursive I just used on our a board. It's beautiful and I cannot stop looking at it
Nice little ad I got, and a nice man to boot
Personal Use Thanks for watching! Much appreciated 😊
Does not stink and erases really well. Absolutely true.
I refilled my marker first time but,but when i refilled it the ink leaks inside the protecter NOT OUTSIDE but how do i fix it?

I have v board master.

Japanese and germans are born innovators. I really ❤️ german and japanese technology
Yes, there's nothing like well made German and Japanese products!
These look to be a fantastic upgrade from Expo! One question: How do I store them? Vertically with the tip up? Tip down?
For sure...I love the refillable cartridge! I usually store them tip down or on the side and so far, no problems. Thanks for watching!
Late to the party here, but you can purchase tip replacements as well. Jetpens, is where I get mine.
I don’t believe you can purchase new tips for these, although that would be a great idea!
Please tell me the cost..??????
Muito obrigado pela explicação.
That's so cool 😊😮

You're welcome!
Graffiti writers been using these for years
dior denims Very cool! I wish I found about these markers a lot earlier!
Should've tried the red one. Many red markers write too light.
Thanks a lot ☺️
You're welcome....thanks for watching!
You're so nice!
Eiwit Thanks 😊
Cool video 😊

Ed Tchoi I loved it! :)
After doing like this , but it does not work
Thank you sir!

Do you have to buy the ink seperatley?
The marker does come with the ink cartridge and you can purchase additional ones once it runs out. Hope this helps!
@@EdTchoi thank you! but when i bought it, the ink did not come with it.
Can the cartridge be filled externally using other refills?
Hi Sanoj and thank you for your question. I don't believe it can use other refills...at least I haven't found any other ones that are compatible.
When i fill using other refills (with merk A and S), i dont know why. The result is my font become lighter. Not darker. Different with original when first time used. May be ,we have must use original refills
Why is the cartridge 1/3 of the size of the pen? Seems like a rip off to me. What's the point anyways if this costs more than 4 new pens.
For some, the idea of it being refillable and reusable is very important, but I see your point if one focusses only on the price. In any case, I did find it to perform very well. Thanks for your comment!
Hi! How long does it take it to run out?

I haven’t gone through a whole refill yet, but I’ll definitely post ince I get more experiences with it. Thanks for commenting!
@@EdTchoi Thanks for your answer!
I was just asking, because mine runs out in less than a day...
Noel Husz You’re welcome! It should last much longer than a day, unless your using it lots, which may be the case
@@EdTchoi It is like a normal daily usage.
When was the day you inserted the last cartige in yours?
Noel Husz it’s been a few weeks, however I haven’t done any heavy whiteboard sessions during that time. I would say that it should be lasting much longer than a day though
Where can we get the refills.
You can find the refills at most office stationery stores or online on Amazon. Thanks for watching!
Lasts longer than a disposable one?
I would say that it might have a little more ink than a disposable one, however the main feature is that you can refill the cartridge
can you provide me?
2.50 before you put the pen on the board.
Did I miss something?
The marker was uncapped for a full minute! Trigger warning for those who hate dried out markers 🤣
decepción las puntas se secan rapidamente y aunque recargue el plumón ya no pinta.
