Besides, your breath is nothing more than wine laden CO2, the same as the wine has been used to all along!
er... except that the CO2 you are huffing into the carboy has been inside your lungs and your saliva covered lips have shaped themselves around the tube... so there is a lot more to the CO2 that you blow into the carboy than is expelled from the carboy ...No?

Well I've bottled some 1450 bottles that way with 0 problems. You're only displacing about 50 ml of air, if that with bad breath. Just enough to fill fill the top half of your tubing. Gravity takes over from there.
I have the Ferrari auto siphon and like it. I am sure there are better ones but it works great for me and is cost effective.
