Q: Will this be able to fill (4) 32" balloons?

submitted by LP - 3 months ago

  • A: No. The Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank will not reliably fill (4) 32" balloons. The Mini Tank is designed for smaller balloons and its estimated capacities are: • Up to (9) 12" latex balloons • Up to (10) 18" foil balloons Because 32" balloons require much more helium, the Mini Tank cannot fill four of them to full float. For balloons that large you would need a larger helium tank such as the Medium or Jumbo.

Q: In the specifications, it states that this would fill (11) - 18 inch foil balloons if that is correct would this work on 1) 33" Foil Balloon, (2) 18" Square Shape foil and (2) 18" regular ? 

submitted by D - 6 months ago

  • A: -D Thanks for your question! Based on the specs stating it can fill approximately (11) 18-inch foil balloons, here’s a rough breakdown: One 33" foil balloon typically uses the same amount of helium as about 3–4 18" balloons. Two 18" square-shaped foil balloons = about 2 standard 18" balloons. Two regular 18" foil balloons = 2 more. That totals around 7–8 standard 18" balloon equivalents, so yes, the Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank should be able to fill that mix — assuming all balloons are properly sealed and none overinflated.

Q: Is the tank refillable?

  • A: Hello and thank you for your question. No, these are not refillable but they are recyclable.

Q: Hi, will this inflate a 40 inch Mylar balloon? Thank you

submitted by bjbouch - 7 months ago

  • A: Hello and thank you for your question. The Balloon Time Mini is unlikely to fully inflate a 40-inch Mylar balloon on its own. For a balloon that size, you’d need a larger helium tank (like the standard or jumbo size), or consider having it filled at a party store.

    submitted byBalloonTime - 7 months ago
    Brand expert

Q: Does it need to be stored in a certain temperature environment?

submitted by Krista - 7 months ago

  • A: The Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature (around 68–77°F / 20–25°C). ❗️Important Storage Tips: Avoid extreme heat or cold. High temperatures can increase internal pressure, while cold temperatures may reduce pressure and affect performance. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from open flames or heat sources. Do not store in a car or enclosed space where temperatures can fluctuate drastically. Proper storage helps maintain the tank’s safety and ensures the helium performs well when you’re ready to use it.

Q: Can you travel with this? Like can you check it in at the airport?

submitted by Nat1230 - 1 year ago

  • A: Hello and thank you for your question. You cannot check in or carry on a Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank on a plane. Helium tanks are considered compressed gas cylinders, which are classified as hazardous materials by the TSA and FAA.

Perfect for parties!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small size is perfect for small or everyday parties! Today, my 3 year old decided his baby doll that my grandma made him needed to have a party. I was able to blow up balloons in seconds and have a party for his toy! It says it can blow up 20 balloons and now we’ve used this for his dolls party as well as his best friend’s 5th Birthday party! It’s the perfect size to just have on hand. Pop the top off, stick the balloon on and push the nozzle forward to release the air. Tie your balloons and you’re good to go!

Party fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Couldn’t have come at a better time, we celebrated my daughters 6th birthday and used the little tank to blow up 6 balloons. They stayed up the entire party and then some. Great price point for parties to air up some balloons instead of running to the store.

Easy to use with clear instructions, quiet inflati

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to use and made party prep simple. The instructions were clear and inflation was quick without any complicated setup. The tank wasn’t too loud while filling balloons which made the process more comfortable, especially when inflating several at once. i also appreciated the safety design, it felt controlled and easy to handle with no issues. The balloons lasted more than 24 hours and in my experience stayed floating closer to 36-48 hours before starting to fall which is great for small events. Overall, i really enjoyed using it and think it’s perfect for planning small parties with reliable performance and convenient duration.

Mini helium tank

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mini helium tank is definitely convenient to own if you’re throwing a small party, or event. I’m not sure how reliable this would be for a larger event. Did inflate a couple of balloons, but not the best quality. Probably best for just small balloons, will last for a few hours if that’s what you’re looking for. Easy to use, not sure why it has a P65 warning on it? which was concerning. Probably easier just going to your local dollar store and having them inflate some balloons.

Great option for blowing up balloons.

Did not work for a foil balloon

Very disappointed. I used this to inflate a 25" foil balloon, which it did perfectly well, but the balloon did not float up. I wonder if the percent of helium vs regular air in the tank is as described. It was just a normal foil balloon.
1 reply from BalloonTime team - 3 days ago
Thanks for your review. To clarify, our tanks contain a helium/air mixture with not less than 80% helium, carefully formulated to float standard latex balloons for 5–7 hours and foil balloons for up to 4 days. Factors like balloon age, size, material, inflation, and even altitude can affect float performance. For even longer float times with latex balloons, use HI-FLOAT (sold separately), which prevents helium from escaping. If you have questions or need assistance, we’re always happy to help at balloontime@wthg.com!

Perfect for a small party

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect size tank for a small party. It can blow up 20 balloons. It’s a good size and is just as powerful as the big tanks. It’s easy to follow the directions to use. If done correctly, you will be able to get all 20 balloons inflated. Overall, it’s a good value.

Worked perfect for me!

I almost didn’t buy this based on all the negative reviews, but I’m here to tell you it was 100% worth it! Inflated two 34” number balloons and another round mylar and they are still floating perfectly 72hrs later! Maybe a lot of these reviewers got bad tanks, but for me, it worked perfectly and was absolutely worth the convenience and a saved trip to another store.

Nice to have around!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little helium tank is a life-saver. We recently had a birthday party and didn’t order quite enough balloons for what I was going for. I was able to fill enough extra balloons to make the doorway perfect! This is small, easy to handle, and safe. I did initially have some trouble opening it, but my husband was able to easily help me and the rest was smooth sailing!
