We have played with the 8V more of course.

Guess the only way to find out how they hold up for me is to order a big set lol. I do like the look of the 8Vs a lot. Maybe I should get a sample of those before pulling the trigger on spirit molds. I just really like the feel and sharp edges of em.

 

[SeanGecko]

More variety in the spirit mold at chips and games. WE all really like the Pinks.

I'm probably going with white quarter, blue dollar, and yellow (pink/blue spots) for 5s. Then just use the 25s and 100s I have.

I'd really like to use the solid red for quarters, but if they crumble there's no reason.

I'm too spoiled with lots of Paulson pink chips so I don't think I could handle the pink Spirit

I had the solid blues as quarters in my Spirit mold set, out of 100 I've lost about 15 to breakage just dealing blackjack on stream, with no harsh players handling them. Those things really are brittle as hell.

SOLIDS ARE BAD....spirit mold.

Thanks for adding your experience.

Sounds like I should get some 8Vs first to see how I like em. Ideally a blue dollar, purple 5, brown 20 - those colors already long gone and tough to pry loose?

All solids or just greys?

 

[SeanGecko]

ALL OF THE SOLIDS! GREENS EXPLODED TOOO

 

[Annorax]

SCREW SPIRIT MOLD SOLIDS, THOSE ARE PIECES OF CRAP YOU BUY AND PUT IN THE GARBAGE

That bad eh? Any other china clays that have sharp edges? I just hate the bevel that most come with.

 

[ChipFinderSK]

I really liked how the black 8Vs looked when I still had some. I’d get some of those as well (I didn’t own any brown so I can’t compare the brown to black).

Reds definitely stacked lower than the other colors.

 

[SeanGecko]

The one with the 4D14 edgespots are ...decent ish. I mean I use them.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

I don't mind a few breaks here and there. How long do they take to get from here

to here

The spotted ones are amazing, razor sharp. It's just the solids that are trash.

The 8V's have sharp-ish edges, less beveled than Majestics, Pharaohs, and Dunes.

If someone with snug chips has a caliper and can measure a barrel, I would appreciate it! If the chips are snug but still fit, I'm thinking I could just increase the width of the rack slightly by 0.5mm or so and it would work for all colors.

I only have these 4 colors anymore but the black chips are definitely the tallest in the batch that I have (all from Gene’s blow-out sale). You can barely tell when they are stacked next to each other but the tiny difference is noticable when trying to squeeze a barrel of the black chips in the rack.

And these are the racks that fit these 8Vs. The barrel width seems to be thinner at the bottom of the rack.

Great info, thanks @72o!

Pics like these are why I love this place. The way y’all pay attention to details, measurements...amazing. So very cool.

@saleen121212 has a bunch of unlabeled 8v. 9 racks of unlabeled black, 199 blue, and a rack each of purple and brown (maybe 2 racks of purple). I'm borrowing them for limit games. But I don't need them. If you want some, he may accommodate.

I offered some up to @JeepologyOffroad, seems like he was good at that time (but may be interested now). If y’all ever move on from these, I’d definitely be interested @saleen121212!

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

I’m good to go for now guys appreciated. Big thanks to @Beakertwang for sending me a barrel to get a feel for them

Long shot here... but if anyone who bought a few thousand of these and never came around to finishing the project or moved on to bigger and better sets, let me know! I'm building a cash set of these and would love some blues, greens, blacks, grays, and reds. Shoot me a PM!

Right now I have browns, whites, and purples, all that is left in stock at ABC. I'm thinking browns as fracks/0.50, whites as $1 and Purple as $5. Running into dirty stack issues with the browns and purples , especially in low light. Ideally I would have blues as $1s, reds as $5s, but reds appear to be rare at this point. Really need 80-100 greens and a barrel or two of the black to fill out the bank for my $.50/1 and 1/2 games.

 

[BarrieJ3]

Just in case as this is bumped. Need reds. Por favor.

@SeanGecko might be able to help you.

I'm guessing you have a better chance catching corona virus than you do finding reds that people are willing to part with.

Shhhhhhh! Don’t tell the world about Sean’s chips.

 

[longflop]

I gotta say, we are over a year into using these chips for my monthly (not currently, thanks corona) tourneys and my players love them. Such a great deal on a good chip!

Likewise. I got a nice set for our microstakes game. They stack great, look great, and are really durable. I’m very happy. Wish I had done a tourney set. Also wish I had been on the ball and grabbed reds.

 

[SeanGecko]

I am selling 250 pink 60 black 30 blue to @Teggy. With my desire to get more CARDS mold custom sets I may be tempted to sell them...…...

 

[BarrieJ3]

% labeled? If you want to sell the rest of the lot entirely....

 

[grebe]

Since we are talking about these again.....

Did all those with labels get them from ABC? I am thinking about buying a few hundred whites to go with my browns and old school blues....none of which have labels yet. Mainly because I havent thought of a final design for them. These are all for a limit game that I have decided I will need 2 tables for....one playing workhorse white chips and the other workhorse brown chips.....with rebuys and add ons in the blue $10 chips for both tables. Because, in my mind, this game will be the hottest thing in town and will need two tables.

I am an idiot.
