Milano Poker Chips Review - My 2500+ chip set 

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

@@jwhofer not sure if your $5 chips still having the inconsistent colour issue, as mine I oiled them and left them under the fan for at least 30 mins to ensure the clay absorb the oil, then wiped them and they’re awesome! Btw I just got a great quality Milano 500pc set yesterday for $0.39/pc thanks to your video!

Thanks for watching :)

Majestics are significantly more expensive.

@@2011blueman Milanos about .30/chip, Majestics about .50/chip

@@jwhofer Yes they're 66% more expensive. Hence "significantly".

@@2011blueman Yes, I was agreeing with you :) Thank you!

My pleasure! Milanos were my first "big" set so I'll always have a soft spot for them :)

I used clear mineral oil. 1. Massage oil into each chip individually with a rag , making sure to get all the chip's surfaces and little nooks/crannies. 2. Then I set the chips on dry paper towels to sit and just soak in the oil for about 1/2 an hour. 3. After that, wipe each chip dry individually with paper towels. 4. Then set the dry chips back on fresh dry paper towels and let a fan blow on them, just to make sure they're completely dried out before putting them back in the racks. I recall flipping the chips over during that final dry to make sure both sides dry. Hope that helps. Happy to answer any other questions or clarify. Thanks!

@@jwhofer Thanks for the detailed response! Do you have any issues with oil affecting the in-lays?

@@echopiece79 No issues. I would imagine if you left the oil on too long or didn't dry them properly there would be major issues though. Now that I think about it, I don't think I left the oil on for more than 1/2 hour.

Dang that sucks. Probably a major shipping or production issue with the manufacturer in China. Sometimes you just gotta wait............

The best forum for buying/selling chips from chip freaks is PokerChipForum. Not sure if there's any Milanos up for sale but you can definitely post a "I'm looking for $25 denom Milanos" there and people will respond.

Which ones?

@@jwhofer the Milanos and the Majestics

@@swordslice421 Milanos on pokerchipmania, the majestics on apachepoker

@@jwhofer ok thanks a lot!

It really depends on which denominations you get. 2500 chips is massive really........way more than you'd actually need for even a 10-20 person tourney. But it's fun to hoard :O)

@@jwhofer it is massive. I'm a poker tournament director and feel accomplished that I can get 50 entrants from a 1000 piece set. Haven't considered what I can get from 2500.

If you're playing a low stakes cash game. $0.25/0.50 or $0.50/1 blinds for example.

Could you clarify? Do you mean the 100-chip racks that have plastic covers over them? I've never used those. But if you mean the big "bird cage" carrying cases that hold 1000 chips (in 10 racks), yes I use those.

Something like this would hold 1000 chips. But the plastic racks would not be the Chipco racks. www.amazon.com/dp/B078YT3Y1G

Yeah my question was wrong. What I was really wondering was if you use the chipco racks that fit the milanos perfect then what birdcage fits those chipco racks?

@@iviadiviax Those Chipco racks will fit any birdcage :) I've got 2 different birdcages and they fit perfectly in both!

Hi Joe. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I got the Jester chips off of texaspokersupply.com. I just checked and they're not available anymore. I bought a stack because I was curious what the felt like, how they played, stacked, etc. Jesters were on clearance. They are nice ceramics that were regularly like $0.60 a chip, but they were on clearance for like $0.13 a chip. Amazing deal! The only problem was they only had really random denominations/amounts available since they were just clearing them out. So it was hard to actually put together a usable set. I will say if you find them elsewhere, they are great chips. I could do a mini review of them, but I'm pretty sure they're simply not available anywhere.

William White yeah about 3 years ago I bought a few racks of 1s 5s and 25s...I liked them and they were cheap and I could never find them agan

Yeah, the consistency issues SEEM to be fixed. It's just so hard to know when you order............which batch which site has and is shipping. I learned the hard way, whenever possible, or in one batch!

@@jwhofer can actually confirm, they turned out excellently so I pulled the trigger on a replacement set. (Replacements were perfect too, needed a touch of oil though)

@@wakey280493 That's awesome!!!

Did you pan fry them after???

Sorry no :)

Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I really appreciate it. Yeah, natural hand oils will do the trick, you're right, over time. But if you want them shined up quick and in an even manner across all chips, a little mineral oil does the trick.

LOL then why'd you watch the video? *CHUCKLE*

@@jwhofer who said i did?

@@CowSaysMooMoo Who said you did what? :)
