Do you need a bag over your face? Is it just suffocation?
You need to breathe in only an inert gas (nitrogen is pretty easy to obtain, though it can be a bit pricey. Watch out for helium, sometimes stores adulterate helium with oxygen so it is not 100% helium. You need the inert gas to be pure.), which makes a bag over the face the only realistic way to administer the gas.

You don't die from suffocation, actually death takes place much quicker this way than it does from suffocation and you don't suffer from the choking sensation which normally accompanies suffocation. This is because your body is tricked into thinking that the inert gas is oxygen and therefore the body mixes the inert gas into your bloodstream, which reaches your brain and causes extreme brain damage.

From all the research I have done from Last Acts and PPH it is peaceful. Just breathe as normal till everything fades to black.

Btw, lungs don't transport much helium into your blood - exit bag works because the inert gas has displaced the oxygen, so you just die from the lack of oxygen. And suffocating sensations comes from CO2 build-up, but there no CO2 build-up if you do it right, since inert gas displaces CO2 away from your head. So you have no sense of suffocating with inert gas method, if done right.

(Ref for amount of helium absorbed: https://www.pftforum.com/blog/gas-solubility-and-why-it-matters)

The lungs act as a reservoir, with breathing 'topping up' the oxygen content. If the lungs contain almost no oxygen, which is what displacement method does, you pass out really fast.

If you hold your breath, you wouldn't pass out for minutes normally because the 'reservoir' is still there, oxygenating your blood with the oxygen still left in your lungs.
