I tried out these cheap Handmade Modern paint markers I got for like $5 with this! They're stinky but usable!
I remember trying a knockoff brand of markers from Michael's or Hobby Lobby and they were actually pretty good in comparison to Prismacolors (though not Copics), but their alcohol content was so high it was difficult to use them without getting a headache from the smell--so I totally understand what you mean! chuckle
