Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank

A: Great question! 🎈 When inflated with our Mini Helium Tank, standard 9-inch latex balloons typically float for 5–7 hours, while foil balloons can float for up to 4 days under ideal conditions. Float time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, balloon quality, and inflation. For the best results, we recommend inflating your balloons 1–2 hours before your celebration. For longer float time with latex balloons, try HI-FLOAT (sold separately)!

A: Great question! 🎈 Our Mini Helium Tank is designed for smaller celebrations and is not recommended for inflating 40-inch foil number balloons. Larger balloons require significantly more helium to float. For oversized number balloons, we recommend checking the balloon packaging for helium requirements to help determine the best tank size for your celebration. Have more questions? We're happy to help at balloontime@wthg.com!

A: No. The Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank will not fill 24 18-inch balloons. The Mini Tank is designed to fill approximately: Up to 20 9-inch latex balloons Up to 9 12-inch latex balloons Up to 11 18-inch foil balloons If you're referring to 24 pieces of 18-inch balloons, you'll need a much larger helium supply. Even the Balloon Time Jumbo Kit fills only up to 27 18-inch foil balloons. If your 18-inch balloons are latex rather than foil, they'll require even more helium than 18-inch foil balloons, so the Mini Tank will fill far fewer than 11.

A: Please contact Target directly.

A: Thank you for contacting us. The Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank is designed to fill approximately 8–9 standard 9-inch latex balloons. Unfortunately, it would not contain enough helium to fill 8 balloons that are 16 inches and 6 balloons that are 18 inches. Larger balloons require significantly more helium than standard 9-inch balloons, so you would need a larger tank or multiple tanks for that quantity and size of balloons.

A: Hello, and thank you for contacting us. Due to hazardous materials regulations, we strongly recommend contacting the airline or airport directly regarding their guidelines and restrictions for helium tanks. Should you have any further questions or inquiries, please feel free to contact us at BalloonTime@wthg.com.

A: Inhaling helium might seem funny because it temporarily changes your voice, but it’s actually unsafe and not recommended.

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.

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.

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