Hi all, i've mouth inflated about 15 balloons and brain feels like its going to explode. I get severe headaches. I take it's all about technique and not mindless blowing?

Thanks

Use a pump then, I do.
You could do yourself some serious damage.

My wife said the same.  I will use a pump. I just thought it would be cool to do it lol

Thanks

I'm getting better now. Once you get that first bubble going then it's much easier to fill the balloon. No headahces either.


 

P.s. time for 160s lol

I would be careful. The more I do this job, the more horror stories I hear about mouth inflating...

It seems a real ego thing, especially in men (sorry), every event I do there is usually that 1 guy that tells me I'm a cheat for using a pump... The kids LOVE my big pump, they don't care what I use.....

Sounds scary...i will blow one up now and again but i mostly use a pump. I just wanted to be able to it lol.

Thanks

I've been using a MacPump for most of my gigs, but very recently got hold of a Lagenda electric pump. You always get that one adult (usually male) asking why I don't mouth inflate. I usually toss them an un-inflated balloon and tell them to give it a try, not seen any of them succeed yet. I can mouth inflate one but why put yourself through that a few 100 times per event?
