Great! As you can see it's pretty hard to do it wrong.

I'm using the mini red pearshaped pump, not very efficient I also have

Then it's not just me. I find it strange that it's so hard to find in a city
with as much dust as Hanoi.

I had a laptop that was constantly overheating until I took it back to the
US and cleaned it with a can of air. Since then it's been fine, but I fear
the dust of Hanoi's construction is building up again.



If you see some buy 1-2 for me (unless they are too expensive by any
> standards)



In the US they are about $5 a can. I would happily pay twice that for a can
here.
