I've found some helium tanks on amazon that have some negative reviews that say that the tank only filled 10 or 15 balloons when they're meant to fill 50, and that the balloons deflated within a few hours of being blown up. Has anyone had any experience with this? Will those things be an issue if I'm using them to CTB?

I would be careful ordering helium of Amazon as those have been known of adding oxygen to stop people of CTB, and for adding revenue as helium is expensive. An easy sign of seeing oxygen is looking at the comments, sometimes people will complain of the balloon not floating as they should be. That could be a sign of they adding oxygen in the mix.
I'm afraid the days of ctb quick using ballon helium are over since they figured it out how it was used.
You will have to look at more industrial applications of helium or nitrogen and a regulator to adjust the flow.
Its crucial the inert gas is 98% or higher either gas and you can't simply trust the ballon manufacturers longer.

You don't want Amazon helium tanks. Those are meant for balloons, not CTB. And good luck getting a straight answer from the seller as to what the percentage purity is. If you're doing any inert gas method, you need to buy the gas from a local welding, farming or brewing supplier.
