    Best balloons today in the 16"-18" range?

    As the title suggests, what would you recommend to be the best balloons to get in the 16" to 18" size range? I've heard different things over the years, such as the new tuftex formula being bad, so I was curious what people thought would be the best options available today. Let me know what you think! Links are very appreciated!

    I can highly recommend Kalisan 18 inch. Huge neck and very strong.

        In my opinion quality of tuftex balloons strongly depends on color. Like green ones are small and hard, purple can be overinflated nicely and so on.

        i prefer unique 16” in that diameter and qualatex 18” stuffer are fun too

          Qualatex and Cattex 18"s are very good. Kalisans 18"s are fun as well.

            If you're strictly a non-popper, then 18" Qualatex "stuffer". Downside is the color variation and price.
            If you don't mind a pop here and there, then 16" Unique/Globos. They've become a lot more reliable, but are still on the thin side and pops a lot easier if left inflated for a few days or after multiple inflations.

              My favourites are Kalisan 18" and Tuftex 17".
              I want to try Belbal B150 (17"), but there is no shipping them in my country...

                I still have a few ‘good’ tuftex 17”s that get massive and are soft but outside of those I’m all about the Kalisan 18”s and Globo 16”s to a lesser extent.

                  Q16 are still my go to in this range. Occasionally the Q18. I am really enjoying the 18" Sempertex Reflex (chrome).
