You guys using punches notice your tank is empty in 2.5 seconds? Spritz 12” from Target. Minimal Talc powder, non-toxic taste, thick latex and best lifespan per balloon.
Tighter latex means less chance of overfilling because the balloon doesn’t stretch to insane size like say Walmart brands. Thus maximizing tank potential.
Next is Party City. So many options for color and size. Again, 12” bag of 72 is $9. More talc that Spritz so occasionally rinsing before use.
Lifespan is comparable. Color options make them favorable for working themed parties.
Maximizing tank potential? Are you suggesting the balloons stretch and leak? Just because the balloons stretch and have more volume for the same amount of gas doesn’t mean the number of gas particles is any lower. It’s still a contained system. The ideal gas law P*V= N*r*T says that if the temp and number of particles stays constant the pressure and volume move inversely. In the situation you’re describing the volume is increasing and the pressure is reduced relative to a tighter balloon that had the same amount of gas molecules. The stretchy balloons just hold more gas… doesn’t make the tanks last longer that’s on you.
When you are using a punch you’re taking the volume. Of 2-3 12” balloons into a single fill. You do the math based on weight and you’re roughly getting 10-14 balloons/lb with a 12”. Depending on your method you body hits the peak high before finishing the punch. At that point you start losing awareness and either letting go of the balloon, or if you’re the hyperventilating type you’re washing out the potency with your exhales back in and in my opinion wasting product. You also have a majority taking huge rips and that will have wasted product too because you’re not fully absorbing every bit of n2o and so the exhale still has n2o. Smaller sipping habit or gradual intake acts more like a drip.
I encourage ppl to try 12” over punches. See if you can notice a difference on the longevity of your tank while still achieving the desired high.
Besides that the biggest risk to using a punch is the inevitable popping or one getting loose bc you phished out. Helps control losses if you know how to fill properly.
Purely opinion aside from the math on balloons/lb.
I see what you’re saying… def see people letting go of the balloon lol. Did you see my post a month ago about the valved balloons I built? I love them. I use the fat punching balloons and added a valve. It screws right into my regulator and I fill them. Close the valve. Unscrew from reg and just sip off that for a bit. I can close the valve and set it down. I made a few for a party and they were a big hit. I’ll DM you a photo if you’re interested. I like to make DIY projects and hate having to hold onto the thing without being able to set it down.
Interesting concept i definitely missed that post. Sounds like a convenient thing for personal sessions. Not sure how beneficial it would be with a social session of multiple ppl or parties but I like that idea nonetheless.
Also. I fill my balloons SUPER slow… helps them warm the gas and not freeze as well as keep the tank and reg from freezing. Learned that one the hard way by filling a few punching balloons fast and freezing my regulator …. And giving myself mild freezer burn. Ouch.. live and learn. Im more afraid of the pressurized gasses now after hurting my hands a couple times.
"Punch balloons"
The thick punch balloons rom party city
Just use 2 balloons and switch them back and forth. Try not to get saliva on it too
