Balloon Thrills is a full service event decorating company and thus we do not rent our helium tanks or sell our uninflated balloons.

It depends on a couple of things, the size of the balloons and the tank size. Temperature and tank pressures are also factors. The chart below will give you an approximate number of balloons based on these factors. The chart assumes that the tank is full and that you're not over-inflating the balloons. Note: You won't get 125 balloons if the tank is half full and the 9'' balloons you've bought are inflated to twice that size. See similar questions...

When filled with helium, a latex balloon will usually last twelve hours and then start to deflate. A microfoil balloon will usually last 4 to 5 days before it starts to deflate - very slowly. See similar questions...

Latex balloons have a limited life of about 18-24 hours for 11-12" pearlshine (metallic) balloons, so inflation should be done as close to the event time as possible. We are able to supply a product which can increase the float life of a helium inflated latex balloon. See similar questions...

Foil balloons will remain buoyant for about 2 weeks. They stay firm for the first 2-3 days and after may need slight re-inflation for firmness (not buoyancy), which can be done carefully with a straw and air. See similar questions...

No. The helium filled latex balloon is contained inside a sealed helium environment (the Sparklet). Helium inflated balloons in a helium environment will last as long as air filled balloons last in an air environment. Generally round latex balloons last as long as the Sparklet lasts (3 - 5 weeks). Hearts last for 3 weeks (inflate them nice and full to get a full "heart" shape). 350's last for 2 weeks and 260's last for 1 week. See similar questions...

Helium balloons deflate quicker than air filled balloons because the helium particles are smaller than air particles and so escape through the balloons more easily See similar questions...

As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic meter of hydrogen lifts 1.1 kilogram, 1 m3 of helium lifts 1 kg and 1 m3 of hot air lifts 300 grams. (In Anglo-American measures: 1000 cu. ft. of hot air lift a maximum of 20 lbs. and 1000 cu ft. of helium lift about 60 lb.) These figures are on the safe side and allow for variations in altitude, temperature, humidity and also purity of the helium. See similar questions...

Do not inhale helium.  Helium displaces oxygen necessary for life and causes headaches, dizziness, labored breathing and eventual unconsciousness. We ship all orders by UPS.  We may choose to ship by FEDEX in some instances.  We charge a $6.00 handling charge on all orders because we have no minimum order requirements.  Your order can be as large or as small as you need.  You can request a faster shipping method such as overnight, 2nd Day Air or 3 Day.
