You need to use ripe chiles. Pull out the seed balls and let them dry, then remove the seeds. Superhots like yours need a little higher germination temperature, around 26-32C, so wet them down between layers of paper towels and keep them on a plate in a warm place, such as on a hot water heater, radiator or other appliance. Once the seeds have germinated, they don't require such high temps for growth; 20-23C will be fine.
After each seed germinates, I like to transfer it to a peat pellet. These are nice because when it becomes time to transplant to a bigger pot, you just place the whole peat pot in the new pot. Low transplant shock.
You can get the ebook version of Ruppenthal's How to Grow Tomatoes, Peppers, and Eggplant for $1.
Bosland & DeWitt's The Complete Chile Pepper Book is also a good choice.
Start them indoors; you'll need a grow light. Put the plants out on your balcony in the spring after the last danger of frost is past.
