Lightweight Travel Set (1 Viewer)

[Leonard]

I'm looking for a very small, lightweight travel set. Fewer than 100 chips, probably something like 30 white, 24 red, 6 green. Going on a trip to Europe in October and we will probably play on trains, etc.

I will be schlepping this set in a backpack, so lightweight is essential. Some cheap plastic chips. If I needed nice casino chips, I have tons of options already. There used to be Faux Clay chips, and cheap unicorn chips that might work, but I don't see them anymore (and I haven't needed any in years). It would be nice if they stacked pretty well so the stacks don't fall over on the train.

Ideas?

Sorry, just high roller sets. But you can always drop decimals.

The "2-stripe twist" chips are 8g, dirt cheap, and stack and handle surprisingly nice.

I should mention that I have no experience with this vendor. I've just handled the chips. Maybe @Dugthefish can let you know where he got his.

Borrow somebodies Tina chips. The only ones I have are blanks. But it shouldn’t be hard to pick up or borrow a set of these.

I have some non-denominated mermaids you could borrow. They are ~ 6.7 grams each so a set of 60 chips weighs just over 14 ounces. A set of 100 to fit in a chip box would weigh just over 23 ounces.

I also have some Tina chips, but they weigh ~ 9.5 grams each.

Whatever you end up with I’d recommend a tube, like those starting stack tubes.

I think I will try these. They’re cheap enough that if something happens to them, I don’t have to be overly concerned.

I found this chips to be a good bang for the buck, have close to 3000 of them for my MTT set. Don't recall which vendor I bought from.

@ekricket had a good idea with the starting stack tubes but I think the smaller jars might be better in a backpack. The can go in smaller nooks & crannies.

But if your bag is getting x-rayed you're going to be stopped a lot lol.

Looking around eBay this morning saw these

There are several boxes. Under $20

I have a case of similar tubes that I will use.

Dunno where these came from but they are hella light. I’d be willing to part with some of these.
