Balloon Time Mini Helium Tank

Celebrating something small, simple, or totally spontaneous? Our Mini Helium Tank is made for mini moments: the quick wins, the just-because surprises, the celebrations that don't need a big setup to feel big. This lightweight tank is ready to go wherever the party takes you. Just remove the cap by pulling the tab all the way around (like a whipped cream canister!), place your balloon on the black nozzle, hold in place, and gently tilt the nozzle to fill. Pro tip: stop inflating when your balloon looks like an egg, not a light bulb. Overfilling can reduce float time or cause balloons to pop. Under the best party conditions, helium floats standard latex balloons for 5 to 7 hours. For happiest results, inflate balloons 1 to 2 hours before your event and keep them indoors, away from heat or direct sunlight. Want to float even longer? Treat your latex balloons with an additive like HI-FLOAT (sold separately) before filling, and make sure you're using helium-grade balloons, not air-fill only. Before you float off into party mode, here's one last thing to keep in mind: balloon size really matters. This tank fills up to (20) 9-inch latex balloons, (9) 12-inch latex balloons, or (11) 18-inch foil balloons. Most latex balloons sold today are 12 inches, which use more helium than the smaller 9-inch ones. Your count may vary depending on how full you inflate or if any balloons pop. We've spent more than 40 years making helium celebrations simple. When you're ready to party, we're ready to help. Made in USA Before first use, remove plastic tab and ring by pulling the tab all the way around the cap. Once detached, remove the cap Place balloon on nozzle.
