Before I discovered Graham and his wonderful Sempertex balloons I had just 'trained' myself to be able to mouth inflate Qualatex balloons.

Now obviously a benefit of the Sempertex balloons is that they are thicker... but this makes mouth inflation a nightmare.

Is anyone mouth inflating with Sempertex?

If so any tips on getting my lungs up to Olympic Sempertex standard? :)

Craig, no one likes a show off :D  :lol:
I have to confess I cant mouth inflate any balloons, I even struggle with the ordinary round balloons. It makes me go dizzy.

I can mouth inflate the sempertex but generally speaking I don't bother - I have a pump that is much better at it than me!

I mouth inflate Sempertex and Qualtatex 260s. I don't succeed 160s yet.
I mouth inflate only when the modeling is for me (to post it on forums) or my children. In gig I always use a pump, it's cleaner, except when a child defies me.
