What type of chips do you use?

I've read so far here that a lot of you like the chips from chipco and thechipstore... I just bought a set from pokerchipsusa.com. An 800 set of the "12 gram professional" chips they have and it seems like a great deal. Understandably they are not clay chips, but I plan on using them for home games like the rest of us, and wanted the most amount of decent chips for the money. Plus I like their style...

My question is.... what do you all have at home?

By the way, this is my first post on these boards, and would definitly enjoy a 2+2 SNG on stars in the furture with you all.

Search in this forum on "poker chips" and you will find lots of information over the past 3 months or so

I'm pretty new here, too, but I'll say. "Welcome to the forum", anyway.

In response to your informal survey, we're using (mostly) the standard 8.5 gram diamond chips. We started with a set of 500 mainly because we wanted to hold a tournament and we couldn't really do that with nickels, dimes, and quarters. As our game grew, we added another 250 diamond chips and 100 of the six-bar chips. We use the latter as "high denomination" chips for tournaments and NL/PL ring games. They ain't fancy, but they're a lot more convenient than pocket change. They're a lot more accurate, too, a big plus since we started keeping stats.

It's in the terms and conditions, etc.. somewhere.

Anyway welcome to the forum.

Edit: I like that your here and am sure your intentions are ok - I just need to nitpick something today.
