    TufTex 24" - Best replacement for Qualatex 24"

    Just got my 2nd shipment of TufTex 24", the first one was Crystal Red. Never really been super happy with the Crystal color kind. So got the Standard color assortment this time and wow, these are amazing!

    Jenny Loons - TufTex 24 Link
    - Just scroll down the page and find TUF-TEX 24" Packs (25 Balloons), I got the ones including white.

    If you haven't tried these yet, and are still on the hunt for a really good balloon, then I suggest you give it a go.

    I rate them 10/10!

    Enjoy!

    I take it that you haven’t about the R24? THATS the best replacement.

          I tried googling it before asking, all I could find was a page by Exoticloonz where they have 4 different crystal color types.

          Unless I can find this type with standard colors it's not for me, since color, smell and shape all matters

            They only make them in crystal.

              Then I still think TufTex 24 is the best replacement!

              For me at least.

                Sempertex has a wide selection on their webshop, which apparently also serves private customers. I haven't seen many of these colours in other shops, but they do exist.

                  I used to favor the TT24 over the Q24 but the Belbal B250 surpasses both. Now I prefer 20-24"" bobos over all latex.

                    Sempertex has nothing to do with r24. It’s made by Val and oxana from thirtythreerooms.
                    And yes I know that r24 is a sempertex balloon also, but it’s not the one I’m talking about

                      Which shop(s) are selling the “right” R24s? They seems like worth trying out.

                        I actually have a new favorite balloon - the 19 inch Gemar balloons or their 18 inch punchballs. They are amazingly strong, and can very easily take a good ride. I think they're more durable than Tuftex, Q, Cattex...but there is an issue with them.


                        THIS: They're a Russian balloon, and nobody seems to sell them outside of Russia. If one is willing to wait for delivery of packages from Russia - a long wait not for the faint of heart - I think you'll be very nicely surprised.
                        People who don't know the difference between BURRO and BURROW, can't tell their ass from a hole in the ground.


                        There's been a lot of thefts of helium-filled balloons recently. More so than in the past, so they're going up. I think inflation is to blame.

                          Just received a 25 count bag of the 19" rainbow crystal assortment, they did come from Russia but the bag states Made in Italy, website gemar.it. Have I been ripped off?

                            ^ No, it's legit. Somehow I never looked at the bag, and (at the time) there were two different sellers who were both in Russia, so I just ASS/U/ME'd they were from there, lol.

                              I would actually venture to say that after having experienced them, the Belbal 250 is the best replacement for the Q24, but in terms of that iconic neck, r24s would be another good replacement option.
