How to Use the Pump in Balloon Folding

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jeremy here on behalf of Expert Village. Talking a little bit about ways of pumping up your balloon. The standard way the way everybody expects you to do it is with your mouth. I personally don't like using my mouth cause I can blow about 5-6 and get a splitting headache and I like to twist balloons while concentrating. You can do it people think it's really cool but if you're going to do any amount of balloons during that evening or day I would suggest using a pump. They have very hand pumps which you squeeze they are only about this big, they're very very durable although the only problem is they fill up your balloon about this much each time you pump. I don't suggest it unless you just want something for your pocket the next option is this size balloon pump this is a really cheap qualitex pump. Once again this is not something I recommend unless you're only going to do balloons maybe once a year this will break after a good five or six hours of use. I personally like this pump this is a minor magic pump qualitex also makes a similar one they actually do this in gray or blue it tells you how well this last. It last me a whole four years I've been doing balloons and the qualitex one pink or purple similar quality just different angle shape. You can do motorized pumps which have the advantage of the fact that you don't have to work out your hand. The only problem with them is they tend to over heat after a while and you're going to be carrying extra weight when the pump is with you and they are a little bit noisy. They do have stand up pumps which are about this tall and you hold them with your hand and you go up and down like that. Once again one pump blow up a balloon not very transportable though so if you're doing a festival work where you are standing in one place, it's good otherwise I would stick with a hand pump."
