    Anyone tried Belbal 12 inch?

    Was thinking about getting some of these for blowing way too big. I love how tight smaller balloons can get. Belbal 14” are obviously good but I haven’t heard anything about the 12 inch they do.

    Also want some 11 inch for blow to pops. Wondering if Tuftex or qualatex will be best.

    I am still using them in crystal and pastel options. The shape is almost the same as 14 have. They can get almost 14-15 inches with second or third inflation and seem to be more stable than 14 inchers. Really nice loons

      Good to hear. It’ll definitely be making them 14 inch. The ones that are supposed to be 14”, I can blow to 16 with multiple inflations. I’m guessing they get tight with a good neck. I think I’ll go for crystal colours. Those are my favourite.

        A green tufftex 11” and an orange belbal 12” I forgot how tight small balloons get. They felt like glass.

                The tuftex 11 inch are amazing. I got one to 15 inches with multiple inflations. It just kept getting bigger. I had to sit pop it in the end, the anticipation was too much. It put up a fight.

                  I had 12" (B105) crystal Belbal balloons a few years ago... They were awesome - I could inflate them to about 16" without popping:

                    I’ll see if I can get mine that big. Did you have to preinflate a lot or do they stretch that much when fresh?

                      Awesome!

                      I have some experiences with Belbal 14" in crystal colors and it seems that crystal yellow and crystal orange are the best when it comes to gaining size.
                      Blew up a crystal yellow BB 14" that was inflated several times before up to 19" with a nice large neck.

                      Unfortunately I only had very, very few BB 12" (B105) in crystal colors...

                        It was second or third inflation, as I remember... Fresh balloon should easily go to about 14".
