If your goal is to lose consciousness right before submerging in water, that should be enough.
If the cylinder has a pipe with a valve that allow you to release the gas easily, that can be enough. If it doesn't have anything like that, you may need to purchase such things in order to be able to inhale the gas conveniently.
You don't need to disperse the gas around you or burn it, it's supposed to be inhaled either straight from the cylinder (through a pipe or a hose) or from a latex balloon filled with the gas from the cylinder. A latex balloon can be suitable if you choose drowning in a place where you can stay or sit, otherwise it may be difficult to carry.
A smaller density of a gas is not necessarily a disadvantage, since it implies a bigger volume of gas per equal weight.
Yes, it's enough for a CTB attempt. However, if you're going to make lots of tests with it before CTB, it makes sense to buy two cylinders - one for testing purposes and another one for CTB.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! No one can really understand how much grateful I am for your replies. Thanks to reading your informative replies and researching on my own, I am finally free of methods such as cutting, choking myself, holding out my breath. For already a few days, I asked questions, lots of questions and you answered with clear, informative replies.

I will need to buy valve to open/close gas release, and hose / pipe to breathe gas straight from balloon, if they need to be bought separately. I don't plan on making tests, I want to ctb, so I will buy only one 1kg balloon or maybe one 2kg balloon. No second balloon

My goal is to lose consciousness inside sea faster. I can't wait until an unknown amount of time passes so hypothermia knocks me down in very cold air. Some people say that cardiac arrest will be very fast after entering sea, for some it's 15/45/60/120/180 minutes depending on weather temperature, health and tolerance to cold. Some people are even found alive after 30 mins of drowning because cold hypothermia slowed down destructive processes in the body. Inhaling Refrigerant is much faster to lose consciousness.
I don't want to use refrigerants as main method. They are perfect for combining with drowning method, in my opinion. Why? Because Even if inhaling them on their own is effective enough, combining them with drowning and hypothermia at cold winter night will significantly raise probability of ctb, me not found easily, harmful gasses won't hurt anyone else (better than inhaling them at home, losing consciousness, pipe coming out of my mouth and releasing all remaining gas to room, etc)
But, I am curious, if my method was solely inhaling R-134a in my room, wouldn't 1KG be enough? How much would I need, if it was my main ctb method without drowning (I would want to inhale it so much I die, not lose consciousness)? Would 2KG be enough for death? It seems 1KG isn't enough.
Yes, it's enough for a CTB attempt.
Here is my actual method
Before entering sea, I will fully prepare 2KG (or 1KG) R-134a balloon tank (inserting valves and hose), I will put it inside my bag, and hold hose in my hand (but if I can only find pipe for inhalation, I will have to sit on water, put backpack in front of me, and start inhaling through pipe from balloon inside backpack. I will try to get hose, it is long and more flexible than pipe)
I will enter sea, go at least as deep as my legs (fully entering sea may either be impossible or just trigger cold shock). I can't merely go inside sea as shallow as my ankles or knees, because it wouldn't be enough for drowning, and also my body would be seen from beach. So, I will go at least until my legs are fully inside sea.
And then, I will turn back, open valves, secure balloon tank inside backpack as hard as possible so it will remain inside backpack when I lose consciousness, wear backpack again on my back, tie it to myself with rope and start inhaling. I won't hyperventilate or do anything before inhalation, but I will plug my nose so no oxygen enters through air. I will put hose as deep as I can inside my mouth so waves can't make it slip down from my mouth. I hope that after I fall consciousness, hose won't come out of my mouth. I will need to find a way to secure hose too. Maybe I will use a rope to tie hose to my head before I start inhaling. I will also tie hose as hard as I can to valves so waves can't suddenly separate hose from valves. I Will also tie backpack to my body as hard as possible, so sea can't remove it either.
I hope that after drowning, waves won't bring my body to shore though. For preventing this, I will fill my backpack with sand from shore, wear it on my back and hope backpack will pin me down in one point after drowning. Sand may also firmly keep balloon tank inside backpack. So, hose will be tied firmly to my head, balloon tank will be inside backpack full of sand from shore, and backpack will be tied to me. I don't think sea waves can separate me from backpack and balloon, or its hose

I hope that my reasoning is logical and I am not making any big mistake that can make me end up alive
