    Reuse helium

    Has anyone every tried to reuse and save the helium from a latex balloon? After I’m done with my session I usually untie the ballon and use a straw to transfer the helium from the latex balloon to a Mylar ballon. This way you can do the opposite and fill a balloon back up within what next few days without wasting helium. Ofcourse this can only be done so many times before the helium actually leaks out.

    I've done this, but helium only has a small life, before it depletes itself of its buoyancy power. So, whilst you can decant (like decanting wine) helium from a latex balloon to a foil/Mylar one, and vice versa, the helium's buoyancy won't be as good. If you can get an extra few hours use of the helium, that's good, but it's unlikely to last for days, sadly.
