A balloon typically contains about three good inhalations and creates somewhat of a quick, euphoric high. Some people abuse Nitrous so much that they actual purchase full tanks of the gas, while others may just purchase enough to fill a balloon’s worth.
The method in which someone chooses to inhale it can vary and it varies greatly on the amount and abuse its consumer has in mind. The thing with Nitrous is that it is always inhaled. Most abusers mimic other addicts who suffer from narcotic abuse mainly because the high is such a short rush that leaves the abuser wanting more and more continuously chasing their first initial high.
