I'm not big on one-time-use items. So... air gets used over and over and over again.
Depends on the volume of the tire, pressure to be attained, and of course the pump.
700 x 35 to 70 psi takes over 400 strokes.
I am not aware of any mini pump that could reach pressure with 30-50. Maybe 150 is more like it for skinny tires.
