You should just get Karmakazi's, he'll make you a lid.

I don't see any reason not to get it, if you need a dewar this one is probably perfect. It's around 30-35L, so it's enough for a good session for some hours. I just made a lid myself, ln2 stores really well without lid too. But a LID is nice for transportation:)
I had my thermos filled with ln2 over the night without a cap on, still there was more than 50% of the ln2 left.:D

nice price, but that looks a little scary to me :scared: Worse case is you lose $250 bucks, best case is you get a hell of a good deal if the seals are intact.
I know my 35 is a bitch to carry from the car, up 8 steps and into the house lol thankfully it came with a trolly which helps part of the distance :D

Yeah my 50L weighs in at 150lbs when full. I need help getting it out of the car safely as I do not want to drop it LOL.
It has a roller stand so after that its np.
I am glad it has a pressure top as tipping a 50L to fill a thermo is not something I would want to do. A 35L migth be better for tipping, I dont know.

If you get the big boy, just make you a roller cart. Four big caster will cost you ~50-75 bucks. The rest of the supplies couldn't cost too much whether steal or wood.

35L=62.2525 of LN2 + dewar weight (25 pounds?) You should be able to carry it.

He was the manong hiding prom de camera all de time. But was the only one in the room capable of cranking out some ownage. :poke:(v2-v3)
If you can get Karma to sell it to you, it'll be a large plus. 50L will cover a few good sessions without a nagging need to constantly refill. I really wanted BOTH those 50L's but the shipping to Hawaii was astronomical.

50L isnt bad for tip pouring. You should see me shakiing the 50L upside down like an A1 bottle saying to yourself ya its that good.
I shot the guy a question on vacuum.... he hasn't replied back yet
EDIT: replied right after I typed that ^..
LOL "I dont think there is any vacuum for the tank? I did pour water into the tank to check if there are any leaks, None. I have never used it, I got this from a University Surplus. I belive this is in good shape."

lol. Ya dude it takes a Dirt Devil durr. I'd buy it even if he did put the water in it. Mine I found out has a surgical rubber turnicate in it. Realy dont know how Im going to get it out since its frozen all the time. An thawing it might take a bit an Im not sacrificeing bench time

lol water
just keep it frozen..but its better if the vacuum was there...it'll hold ln2 for weeks..
Well, wouldn't it be wise to dump the water out and dry the inside? I feel like I am really missing something.....
Hondacity
04-08-2010, 11:28 AM
i would rather leave the water in..if its frozen and the leak is shut...then a semi vacuum is created...
vacuum in the dewars make the dewars contain ln2 temps stable...even for a long time...

I missing somthing too. Cause all the water did was tell him their wasnt a hole threw the side wall. A crack in the internals wont leak out. Kind a like a cooler, outside may look fine but the inside is cracked to shit an it wont hold Ice. But look it can hold water. I vote buy it. I chanced mine an its fine.

But we don't all live somewhere that's only 10 degrees warmer than the LN2, Kriz. :D
$75 for a shipped dewar with a lid? Heck, if you guys don't want it, I'll bid on it if it stays cheap. If I keep getting small dewars I'll eventually have the equivalent of a 160L. Isn't it a truism that the ugliest, most beat up looking dewars have the best seals?

Lids dont seal the dewar. It would explode if u did that. They have to breath so lid on or off dontmake much of a differance in evap. Now if the lid is off an you have a fan blowing across the top of it the evap would be alot greater.
Here is my ghetto ass lid I made out of a pool noodle an a thermos cap

And nice noodle lid!
I should try the condom thing for fun. Cept I'm not sure I have any small enough to make a seal on the top......
