The float time of helium filled balloons depends on a number of factors including size, balloon material, attachments, air temperature and whether you are using the balloons inside or outside. Latex Balloons The most popular latex balloons are 11 and 12 inch tear drop shaped varieties. Since latex is a porous material, helium begins to seep out from the moment the balloon is filled. We recommend inflating latex balloons with helium as close to the event as possible. As a rough guide, 11 inch balloons will float for around 8-10 hours whilst 12 inch balloons will float for around 12. Displaying a balloons on a hot day outside, in a non temperature controlled indoor setting or leaving your balloons in a hot car will shrink them quickly. Extreme cold temperatures will shrink balloons or pop them. Latex balloons have a shelf life of about a year. After a year, more quickly if they are stored where they are exposed to light, the latex will become brittle or thin and they will pop easily during inflation or leak helium very quickly. Even newer balloons that are inexpensive and made out of thin latex will pop easily. Often we see them come out of the package with small pinholes in them or are so thin they leak. Buy your balloons from a local vendor or order Qualatex balloons online. Avoid balloons from dollar stores, Amazon and bulk supply stores that do not name the brand of balloons they sell. Foil (Mylar) filled balloons stay afloat for days (sometimes weeks), so can be filled a day or so prior to an event. This is because the Mylar material does not allow the helium to escape as quickly as latex balloons. Float times vary between sizes and shapes of all balloons but the most common foil size is the 18 inch round balloon, which can stay looking fresh for around 3-5 days. Foil Supershapes are larger and can be filled with more helium, meaning they will stay inflated for weeks. Most balloon attachments will reduce float times due to the additional extra weight. For instance, a hot air balloon net may look light but it will reduce the overall float time. Similarly, adding tassel garlands, balloon valves and filling balloons with confetti will also reduce float time. Extending the float time: Hi-Float is a product which can be used to extend float time of a latex balloon up to 25 times longer. It’s a gel that is pumped into the balloon (before inflation) coating the inside to prevent helium escaping so quickly. Only use hi float on latex balloons - never in plastic or Mylar balloons. It is available on our website for purchase under the 'sales Items" tab.more ➔

The Bash rents helium tanks for any three day period. We also lease extra large helium tanks monthly to businesses, schools and churches. You can book a weekend tank online by choosing your date and then the size of tank you would like to book, adding it to your cart. You can choose to pick up from our warehouse in Tucker or we have delivery services to Metro Atlanta. You can book a long term helium rental by calling our offices (404-437-6136) or by emailing us requesting a long term helium account (BashPartyRentals@Gmail.com) More about monthly helium leases: Our delivery radius for long term helium tank deliveries is within 40 miles from our warehouse in Tucker, GA (2133 Mountain Industrial Boulevard Tucker, GA 30084). Extra large tanks are the only size tanks we rent on a monthly basis. They contain approximately 200 cubic feet of helium. Balloon fill charts tell you how many of each size balloon you can fill with a tank. They are available by clicking the rental tab above and then the specific size helium tank you are interested in. The approximated fill chart is at the bottom of the item description. Monthly helium customers pay for the helium inside a super tank at the time the order is placed. Each time a new tank is ordered, you pay the going rate for the tank. In addition, there is a monthly fee for leasing the tank and the regulator. Each tank leases for $15.00 monthly and the regulator for $5.00 monthly. Payment is due by credit card. We keep cards on file and automatically charge them for monthly fees. Monthly helium clients keep the leased helium tank on site and when it is empty, we swap out the empty tank for a full one. Customers can pick up tanks from our warehouse in Tucker or we have delivery services for an additional charge. We are in national helium shortage and helium is at an all time high. We typically get tanks from the gas supplier every Thursday but availability has been erratic over the last year. We recommend you book early so we can place your name on a tank reserving it just for you.more ➔

If extra large tanks are not available online, please call us at 404-437-6136. This rental tank contains approximately 200 cubic feet of helium. Your rental includes a regulator. Unlike other companies, there is no additional deposit required. To see an approximate number of balloons it will fill, please see the fill chart below. The number of balloons your tank will fill depends on the size of your balloons, how much you inflate each balloon and how much helium you waste while filling them. This is why the fill chart is a range. The fill chart is specific to the size of the balloon. If you add in an odd size balloon, like a letter balloon, you will use a lot more helium and will not still be able to fill up 360 12" balloons. We also offer monthly helium rentals. To find out more about becoming a long term helium client, call our office: 404-437-6136. ***Inhaling helium can be very dangerous, resulting in injury. We strongly advise you not to inhale helium or let guests, especially children, inhale it. Approximate Tank Dimensions: Height: 4'9" Diameter: 10" Weight: Over 100 pounds Here is an approximation for latex balloons: 12"- 360-370 balloons - .523 cu ft or... 18"- 100-110 balloons - 1.77 cu ft or... 36"- 10-11 balloons - 15.00 cu ft *While you can buy empty helium tanks online, there is a disadvantage to doing so. When you buy helium, you purchase the helium gas and rent the tank that holds it. When you need more helium, the rental company brings out a full tank and takes the empty. Wholesaler's helium tanks may have a directional valve on them that can only accommodate re-filling by that specific supplier at their facility. Gas companies do not typically refill tanks for individuals. You must have a contract with them, and they will only fill their tanks. If you purchase a new (or used) helium tank, you are not likely to find anyone in Atlanta to refill it. Also - please consider that disposable helium tanks purchased at retailers cannot be recycled easily in GA, and are harmful to the environment.more ➔
