i.ve seen little silver bottles/bullets of no2 for sale think they are called chargers? How do ppl consume the contence?
 
You need a few things

First, a box of chargers (the things n20 is in)
Then a cracker or dispenser. I've never used a dispenser myself. A cracker is a cylinder that screws together and pierces the charger, releasing it into the balloon. Crackers can be made of anything from plastic to brass. Brass will last forever, plastic will break or become unuseable fairly easily. Aluminum will last a long time and is generally pretty cheap.
Then you need balloons. Those bigass punch balloons with the rubberbands on one end. Get a bag of those

Open up the charger and there should be a metal spike on one end. That's the end that the n20 comes out. Put the mouth of the balloon on that end and make sure it won't slip. Then put the charger so that the rounded end is in the side of the charger that doesn't have the spike. Screw the charger together until you hear a popping sound (maybe a hiss too). Then slowly unscrew the charger and it'll fill the balloon with n20. Watch your fingers, it'll get real cold. You'll probably want to do 2 chargers per hit, so when the first charger is empty twist the balloon's neck and unscrew the cracker, put in a new charger and empty it into the balloon (untwist the balloon after you screw the cracker back together). The tightly pinch the balloons neck and detach it from the cracker. Let it sit a second so the n2o doesn't freeze your lungs when you inhale. Then put the balloon up to your lips and inhale deeply. Hold it for a few seconds, then exhale. Take another hit, hold it and exhale. Take a quick normal breath, and repeat until you use the whole balloon. Some people recycle a hit by exhaling back into the balloon. If you do it too many times it becomes pointless, I usually do it with my first hit and twice with my last hit but everyone does it their own way.
 
I would really recommend getting a dispenser over a cracker, but there are those CO2 cracker bike pumps that should be fine. Best is a whipped cream dispenser - a cylinder with a handle, they are the easiest to use and least dangerous for getting frostbite or exploding shit. Don't make a DIY cracker, that sort of thing is an accident waiting to happen especially when people are getting a nitrous buzz around it.
 
step 1: aquire bulbs of n2o from kitchen store, head shop, internet
step 2: buy a cracker that ejects bulbs into a balloon or better yet get a whip cream maker and nix the cream
step 3: inhale n2o enjoy wonky effects
 
I always found the backpressure of nitrous balloons to make using them really unpleasant.

What I did was take a 2.5gal Hefty One-Zip plastic bag, and a nitrous filter attachment (ostensibly for filtering nitrous used for cream whipping), and a short length of tubing that fits the bottom of the filter attachment.

Affix tubing to outlet of the cracker (aka filter attachment - the one I have perfectly fits a 7/16th inch diameter tube).
Cut hole in bottom of bag, put tube in, seal with duck/gorilla tape.

Seal bag, empty 2 crackers into it, and load a third. Lay down, open bag 1 inch (it's only ever open 1 inch, so you can't suffocate yourself with it) and take a deep breath, and then reseal bag, and pop the third cartrige (since there's now room in the bag for it) while you're still capable of doing so. Enjoy three cartridges of nitrous without having to fumble with a balloon or cracker. It looks ghetto, but it's much more effective and comfortable than any other mechanism of using nitrous that I've encountered.
