Re: Tuftex 17"

Really? I remember they were, because I saw meanwhile I was looking for Tuf-Tex "I love you" printed.
I assume I saw wrong.

Re: Tuftex 17"

You can have crystal tuftex 17 inchers at loonerworld but not with the smiley print sadly. The 'I love you' ones are great tho! 😉

Re: Tuftex 17"

Yeah my friend, they definitely are ��
I also loved the old tuftex "Kaboom Balloons" printed, did you ever try these?

Re: Tuftex 17"

No sadly not but I have some crystal loonerworld tt17's that I still have to blow up!

Re: Tuftex 17"

I've got some of those in my last purchase but 14" (as gift) and they are very great, omg 17" would be very hot. What's your favourite color of TT17"?

Re: Tuftex 17"

I have about 15 of the 14inch ones too and crystal burgundy! �� If you want we can talk more in private chat before we go off topic.

Sorry to the thread creator if I got off-topic.

Re: Tuftex 17"

I've enjoyed T17s for many years. I just finished a bag of 72 that was over a year old, no pops iirc. For me, "proper storage" is putting the balloon bag in an airtight freezer bag (and squeezing the air out before sealing it), and putting that bag in a shoebox-sized plastic bin, on a closet shelf (i.e. not on the floor), along with various other kink items.

We've got temperature and humidity reasonably under control, but that wasn't true until this year. I think especially depending on where you live these factors could really ruin balloons really quickly.

Really good one. Try the clear one. More stretchy. Loud bang. Tuff to pop. Made for serious looner.

I think you are wright. I also have TT's from 2 to 3 years old which have been stored in the same way as you have written above and are still good. It only seems the darker colors (brown for example) age quicker.

Re: Tuftex 17"

Tuftex 17” balloons are my favourite balloons, I ride them all the time, don’t blow them up fully , just enough to make the neck stretch out and ride away

Re: Tuftex 17"

Is TT 17" have long neck without over inflate? Got photos to share? Got this review, and seems like it does have a long neck. Appreciate.

Re: Tuftex 17"

Since they updated their latex formula last year, TT17 have necks that are long and pretty skinny if you don't pre-stretch them. (So they don't come out until the balloon is very firm and tight.)

But in true Tuf-Tex fashion, if you prestretch the neck with one or two good inflations first, it gets much wider and longer after that, and can be necked more safely without risking too much stress on an overinflated balloon.

Re: Tuftex 17"

Yes, if you pre inflate the neck once or twice it is relatively easy for any middle experienced looner to get a very decent neck on any tuftex. Those loons are very easy to neck and the behave very good even at overinflation, so go ahead, tuftex is a safe ground.
