I've always thought of whippits as hill-billyish but here you go: courtesy of the internet :)
Once you get the whippits, you need a cracker. There are a few varieties:
plastic, metal, and fancy. Plastic are by far the cheapest but because the
nitrous oxide coming out of the canister is extremely cold, they have a
tendency to break. I've used a plastic cracker for about 30-40 whippits
before it broke. Metal crackers are more expensive but will last you a
lifetime. Then there are fancy ones with designs, and even large
glass/plastic bottles that hold 5 charger's worth of nitrous.
The cracker is in two pieces with threads. You put the charger in the cracker
and start twisting the cracker (like a nut on a bolt). At one end of the
cracker, there is a metal point that pierces the metal on the charger. There
are also holes on this end. So, you put your charger in, twist the cracker
until it's tight, and get your balloon ready. When the cracker is tightened
all the way, no gas should escape (or very little). This way, you can fill up
a balloon as much as you want, then stop the gas flow by tightening the
cracker again.
