Super random question..best helium tank?

I have bought the one from BJ's but I don't think it keeps the balloons inflated that well. I need it for a school function. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good one or am I better off going to party city?

Re: Super random question..best helium tank?

I think because of the ongoing shortage and it is used in medical equipment, it is going to be expensive or difficult to even find a helium tank. I read a few days ago that 2022 is going to get worse for helium shortages. I think the last one was in 2019?

You have probably been getting a lower quality of helium from BJs, so maybe call and ask Party City what grade they have?

Turns out, it's cheaper for me to have the balloons filled and delivered from Party City than for me to fill them myself so problem solved!

I was curious about the helium shortage, because I've been seeing those signs for years. So I googled. Helium is a non renewable resource and comes from gasses in the ground. So once it's gone, it's gone they say
