You can do it easily with a few grains from gracrybtore baker's yeast. Quite literally lick your finger tip and what sticks is plenty. Using more just makes it run out faster so you will have to refill more often

i do 1/2 tsp yeast, fill up the bottom with sugar, 1 tbsp baking soda

gives me about 2 weeks of strong bubbles then 1 week of slow bubbles

i wouldnt recommend going over 3 weeks because the rate of bubbles gets realy low ^^
